Wow, a heated discussion not on Shaw or the Slow Mesh, but rather on the treatment of students and alumni by the UC system and the fundraising prowess of said UC schools.

I have no dog (or kitten) in this fight, but, I read the pseudo OPs post to refer to the UC system schools in general (not just Cal, Lex) and the connection to the students post graduation, not during their stay on campus. 

Watching Penn State's white out last night, I have to think there must be something wrong at Cal to not connect well enough with the hundreds of thousands of alumni within an hour drive of Strawberry Canyon that they leave it two thirds empty.
