Herman hosts an editorial debate topic each week, with contributors invited to weigh in. On April 11, 2016 she suggested that State universities were neglecting the local population by accepting more out-of-state as they would pay out-of-state tuition. Herman, and many other contributors neglect to point out the enormous percentage of Californians who are enrolled at UC Berkeley, the school she cites repeatedly. According to the school <a href=\"http:\/\/admissions.berkeley.edu\/studentprofile\">itself<\/a>, 80% of the students at Berkeley have in-state residency, with 10% from other parts of the US and 10% world students. The numbers don\u2019t add up. The admission rates for out-of-state students is less than half the in-state admission rate at <a href=\"http:\/\/admissions.berkeley.edu\/studentprofile\">UC Berkeley<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.admission.ucla.edu\/prospect\/stat.htm\">UCLA<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/gradschool.utexas.edu\/admissions\/where-to-begin\/admissions-and-enrollment-statistics\">UT Austin<\/a>. It is harder and harder for out-of-state students like myself to get in to these schools. Regardless, every admission season there will be students who will complain that the cards are stacked against them. These students\u2019 problem is not a small group like out-of-state students filling a school; it is a large group, their peers, who apply to 13 schools, and hurt everyone\u2019s chances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elizabeth D.
