Another key difference is CSU Presidents have to explain how discretionary money in their budgets are spent. Whereas the UC Chancellors do not. That means every UC school in the Big West can get and spend discretionary money from each Chancellor. The is no answering to the state Legislature.
Ever wonder why CSU’s are not well funded, and that includes academics.
But wait there is more when Clark Kerr setup the UC system he stipulated that the CSU was for applied programs, majors, while the UC was for research. This whole scheme is bullcrap. To me accounting and CPA’s are an applied majors, so the UC should not be teaching accounting and getting them into CPA programs for credentials.
The UC’s teach something called economics, which at first blush is a research program. However most, like 90% of the people they put in the workforce are accountants! If you want to concentrate on a single point, either the budgeting or the teaching majors, should be looked st very closely.
