[00:01.84]State universities in California are planning to limit admission
[00:07.56]of undergraduate students from other states and from overseas.
[00:13.56]The decision follows release of a report by the state's auditor, Elaine Howle.
[00:22.24]She found qualified California residents
[00:25.64]were being denied admission to California state universities
[00:30.52]because of the acceptance of many non-state residents.
[00:36.00]Under the new policy, enrollment of non-California residents
[00:41.60]will be limited to 18 percent at five University of California campuses.
[00:49.48]Those campuses are: Santa Barbara, Davis, Santa Cruz, Riverside and Merced.
[00:58.70]At the four other campuses, in Los Angeles (UCLA), Berkeley, Irvin and San Diego,
[01:06.68]the percentage of non-state residents is already above 18 percent.
[01:13.08]Those schools will not be permitted to go above their percentage
[01:18.12]of non-state residents admitted for the 2017-2018 school year.
[01:25.61]The policy will take effect at the start of the 2018-2019 school year.
[01:34.27]There was emotional debate at Thursday's Board of Regents meeting
[01:40.80]as a majority of members voted to limit out-of-state residents.
[01:48.76]Board member Hadi Makarechian was once an international student.
[01:56.64]He moved to California from Iran in the 1960s.
[02:03.64]Makarechian told the board he fears the new limits
[02:09.00]will lead gifted international students to look elsewhere for college.
[02:16.26]"I know the 'in thing' today is to build walls,
[02:21.48]but we are building a wall around the University of California by doing this," he said.
[02:29.72]But University of California President Janet Napolitano
[02:37.20]said the new limit on out-of-state residents is a "balanced" decision.
[02:43.52]Napolitano said the policy supports "our pledge
[02:49.84]that non-resident students will be enrolled only in addition to,
[02:56.08]and never in place of, Californians."
[03:01.12]But it still provides opportunities for students from around the world, she said.
[03:09.42]The state university system in California is one of the largest in the world.
[03:16.20]It serves about 210,000 undergraduate students.
[03:22.68]About 16.5 percent of them are from outside California.
[03:28.96]About 10.9 percent of non-California undergraduates are international students.
[03:36.68]They come from about 100 countries.
[03:41.20]There are financial reasons for the acceptance of so many non-state residents.
[03:48.52]California state universities receive about $61,000 a year from non-state residents,
[03:56.96]compared to about $34,000 per student for in-state students.
[04:03.32]That is a difference of about $27,000.
[04:08.84]In March, UCLA Chancellor Gene Block told the board that extra tuition from non-state residents
[04:19.56]helped his university avoid cuts and add some courses,
[04:25.56]even as state education spending dropped.
[04:30.20]But, as the Regents met last week, its members were mindful of another issue.
[04:40.00]The California state government had been holding up $18.5 million in aid to the state's universities
[04:51.88]until the board moved to reduce non-state admissions.
[04:58.12]Assemblyman Kevin McCarty had led the move to hold up the financing.
[05:05.76]He said lawmakers have been hearing from parents who say their children
[05:13.16]were being denied admission to state universities
[05:17.68]in favor of out-of-state students with "lower academic scores."
[05:24.40]Competition for admission at California universities is intense.
[05:30.44]UCLA received 102,000 applications for the 2017 freshman class, the school reported.
[05:40.68]It is the first time that over 100,000 students asked to be admitted.
[05:46.92]Last year, UCLA accepted about 17,500 for its 2016 freshman class, the school reported.
[05:57.64]Of that number, 10,406 were state residents,
[06:02.72]4,614 were out-of-state residents and 2,454
[06:09.81]were from outside the United States, the school reported.
[06:14.04]Of the 17,500 accepted, 6,546 were enrolled at the Los Angeles university.
[06:24.12]About 25 percent were from outside California.

END OF TRACK. "END OF TRACK." The two men bowed. "Whoever was that person you were talking to?" she enquired, as soon as they stood together. The took of triumph faded from her eyes, she had grown worn and weary. The roses were wilting on the walls, the lights were mostly down now. Hetty, looking in to see if anything was wanted, found herself driven away almost fiercely. I only saw Master Jervie once when he called at tea time, The year 1747 was opened by measures of restriction. The House of Lords, offended at the publication of the proceedings of the trial of Lord Lovat, summoned the parties to their bar, committed them to prison, and refused to liberate them till they had pledged themselves not to repeat the offence, and had paid very heavy fees. The consequence of this was that the transactions of the Peers were almost entirely suppressed for nearly thirty years from this time, and we draw our knowledge of them chiefly from notes taken by Horace Walpole and Lord Chancellor Hardwicke. What is still more remarkable, the reports of the House of Commons, being taken by stealth, and on the merest sufferance, are of the most meagre kind, sometimes altogether wanting, and the speeches are given uniformly under fictitious names; for to have attributed to Pitt or Pelham their[112] speeches by name would have brought down on the printers the summary vengeance of the House. Many of the members complained bitterly of this breach of the privileges of Parliament, and of "being put into print by low fellows"; but Pelham had the sense to tolerate them, saying, "Let them alone; they make better speeches for us than we can make for ourselves." Altogether, the House of Commons exhibited the most deplorable aspect that can be conceived. The Ministry had pursued Walpole's system of buying up opponents by place, or pension, or secret service money, till there was no life left in the House. Ministers passed their measures without troubling themselves to say much in their behalf; and the opposition dwindled to Sir John Hinde Cotton, now dismissed from office, and a feeble remnant of Jacobites raised but miserable resistance. In vain the Prince of Wales and the secret instigations of Bolingbroke and Doddington stimulated the spirit of discontent; both Houses had degenerated into most silent and insignificant arenas of very commonplace business. "It certainly will be. Miss Widgeon," answered Maria, with strictly "company manners." "One who has never had a brother exposed to the constant dangers of army life can hardly understand how glad we all feel to have Si snatched from the very jaws of death and brung back to us." "Just plug at 'em as you would at a crow, and then go on your way whistlin'?" persisted Harry. "Hurroo!" echoed Hennessey; "that's the ticket." "Come forward, keeper," continued the baron, "and state how these arrows came into your hands!" "Yes." HoMEJULIA京香2018下载
