Letters to the Editor: L.A. Times readers can't rescue every kid unable to afford UC (via latimesopinion )
The story of Jonathan Cornejo is meant to be heartwarming: A low-income student’s dreams of attending UC San Diego areExcept there are countless other Jonathans, equally deserving, who didn’t happen to be the subject of a newspaper article. And it’s a fair bet that some of the people who gave to the student’s cause would object to paying higher taxes so that those thousands could also afford college — even if the tax increase would be less than what they donated.
It’s easy to be generous when you see the face of the person you’re giving to. But the moral thing is to donate to the faceless ones as well. For a long time we have known that the most efficient way to support everyone equally is by getting together and forming a government.Geoff Kuenning, ClaremontAs I sat during an awards ceremony at Cal State Fullerton recently, I marveled at the volume, depth and breadth of the incredible work done by students, most of them undergraduates.
I also thought of the well-intended people who gave money so a student could attend UC San Diego, and I wished they could have been there to see how their money could have been spent at a California State University school. I worked at Cal State Fullerton for nearly 30 years, and I know that students doing extraordinary research guided by dedicated faculty is standard, not rare. I have known students and faculty at UC schools who are often surprised by what CSU students are able to do.
CSU graduates, enhanced by their research experience, go on to UC, Harvard, Stanford and other highly regarded universities for their advanced degrees.
