493:- While true that a few of the top CSUs are more competitive than the lower ranked UCs, this is an exception more than a rule. Top UCs like Berk, LA, and SD are all much more selective than any CSU. Likewise the majority of CSUs are far less selective than any UC. It might be useful to mention that schools like Calpoly actually are more selective than say a UC Merced, but as we are discussing the system as a whole, it should be obvious that the UC system is deemed 'superior' to the CSU system in terms of many common indicators of college status, including research viablility, selectivity, financial endownment, faculty status, campus resources, subjective prestige, etc. One can make the argument that it is impossible to rank colleges to begin with, which is a fair argument in one for the college ranking article. However such an argument is not too useful in this article and unless one wants to claim that South Dekota State College is equal to Harvard, there wouldn't be a point in pushing that point. By most standards, and by the original intention of the framers, the UC system is 'deemed superior' to the CSU system.

engage in high end research and educate the academic elites. Letting CSUs replicate more and more functions that the UC system has always taken would cause the CSU to lose their focus. Is it fair that a CSU student or professor has very limited access to the research that their UC equivalents have? Yes, because the professor and student chose to attend / teach at a CSU rather than an UC. And the obvious comeback is that their profiles did not qualify them at a UC (or other top tier institution), but that's just how things are.

students, and if it comes from the dwindling supply of state funds, that's research money that could be better spent conducting research at a UC (who alraedy has the research infrastructure, faculty who are well accustomed to doing cutting edge research, and students who have more of an interest in it). The master plan works because limited resources are funneled to their best uses, and it is a fair one too given the resource limitations we have.

455:- The minimum GPA at more competitive CSU's is higher then the minimum GPA at some UC's. In some instances a CSU (Cal Poly, Long Beach, San Francisco, San Diego, Chico are more competitive then many UC schools. (Merced, Riverside, Santa Cruz, Davis) This would indicate in practice the 1/3 and 1/8 goal is not actually happening at all the respective institutions.

research institution. There will be a natural tendency to try to move up the academic food chain, since the CSU system is no doubt populated with ambitious and good people, so it's important that any changes to the way the system is examined closely to see how it will impact the overall education of the many many CSU students.
579:
go to CSUs to learn practical skills, and typically do not go to engage in research or have aspirations of a doctorate down the line. Actually doing some research into graduate class makeup at the top 15 engineering/CS schools, I've found that very few graduate students were from CSU, actually I can't rememeber any.
574:
I don't understand why there are questions of fairness. The community college system, CSU system, and UC system all work together as per the master plan. The CSU's goals are to educate the majority/brunt of the educated workforce and to spend their dollars on that endeavour. The UC system is there to
553:
Because that's the way the system was designed. After 40 years of functioning under the 1960 Master Plan, I don't think it's surprising that some changes were recommended. There's no reason that PhD-holding CSU faculty couldn't do some research and use and educate
Masters candidates as part of that

ends of the segments (Associate, Master, and
Doctorate) and the equivalence of lower work allows a student to transfer into a segment where they can realize their top-end goals despite where they may have been forced to start because of their GPA. CCC/CSU/UC "English 1A" is the same, but you have to
595:
Perhaps some of these points might be more relevant to the respective articles on the UC and CSU systems. The Master Plan is a part of ongoing State policy regarding higher education. The points about fairness or prestige are related to a particular university's position, so maybe they should go in
578:
Fact is, the people that go to CSUs are just as great and all but their academic profiles are, typically, less impressive than their UC equivalents. The CSU system serves their purpose well, which is NOT to compete with the UC system, but to educate the majority of
California's work force. Students
646:. There are only two subheadings for actual content, neither of which fully treat their element of the topic. So, I would consider the secont criteria to be met, and the other three to be lacking. To move up to "B" class, a majority of those criteria must be met, which clearly hasn't happened yet.
586:
To sum it up, with education dollars in SUCH short supply, it could be wasteful to start allowing CSU schools to implement research programs, because if that money comes from the CSU school itself, then that's money not being spent on its core (and really, its only one) purpose of educating the
582:
Now of course issuing doctorates for some degrees (such as teaching, which the CSU system is huge) is all and good, but there is a slippery slope when you start allowing the CSU to deviate from it's original intentions, which was to be a first class educational system as opposed to a top tier
538:
Because that's the way the system was designed. UC is the only segment established in
California's constitution and they consider themselves first and best. The community colleges were founded as spinoffs from the state's high schools so they're considered lowly.
459:
Each location has an unequal budget that constrains enrollments. A well-funded UC site with a huge campus could easily cast a wider net (taking lower GPAs) than a tightly-budgeted CSU campus with space issues, regardless of the MP's goals.
439:
As an encyclopedic entry this probably is not the article in which to criticize/debate a hierarchy established 40+ years ago-- perhaps in an article about the findings of the 2002 studies that led to recommendations for change.
533:
Why should the UC system be the exclusive
California higher education system to grant doctorate degrees? Why must there be a joint doctorate program when the majority of a student’s education is done at CSU and not the UC.
470:- Through articulation agreements many courses taught at CSU UC are considered equal. This is true particularly for lower division courses. If courses are considered equivalent how can one system be deemed to be superior.

The 2002 Master Plan for
