Dangerous words...
From a recent article by Bob Samuels… don’t read if you are easily gullible by sound arguments and/or ethics.
Not only do the bond raters help to determine the cost of borrowing, but they also tell universities what they should do in order to attain a clean bill of fiscal health. For instance, Moody’s slipped into its bond rating for the UC system, the need for the institution to...
TOOL of the Year Keynote Address by the Chairman...
On Friday, January 29 UCMeP hosted a very special award ceremony in which UC Berkeley spokesperson Dan “Big-D” Mogulof was named UCMeP’s TOOL of the Year. Mr. Mogulof himself was on hand to receive the award. At Mr. Mogulof’s request, the public spokesperson was given the award in a private event before an audience of about 90 students, faculty, employees, and...

Just to put all those wicked rumors to rest...
Absolutely nothing is happening on Friday, January 29.
No secret event.
No glamorous private gala.
Would UCMeP lie to you?
We are as trustworthy as the UC administration and UCPD (who by the way did not dupe the Wheeler 66 - or whatever their cute little name is - they simply outsmarted them).
Revised Award Letter to Dan Mogulof
Editor’s Note: The following is a revision of the letter sent to UC Berkeley spokesman Dan Mogulof from the UC Movement for Efficient Privatization (UCMeP) on December 20, 2009. This letter, which announces Mr. Mogulof’s selection as the Top Outstanding Oratorical Leader (TOOL) of the Year, has been censored revised. During a lunchtime summit meeting with Big-D (what we like to...

Abstract. The following is the second part of a two-part study drawn up by the UC Movement for Efficient Privatization (UCMeP). Part One of this groundbreaking study gives approbation to the Governor’s recent public-relations-stunt-disguised-as-a-budget-proposal (to “support public education” by privatizing the state prison system). Despite their appreciation of the governor’s rhetorical...

On the Limits of Legitimate Protest: An Open...
We here at the UC Movement for Efficient Privatization (UCMeP) were appalled by the actions taken on December 2, 2009 by an errant group of demonstrators who sought to disrupt the “non-political” commemoration of the 45th Anniversary of Mario Savio’s famous speech by pushing their own selfish political agenda. As hundreds gathered on Sproul Plaza for the free pizza and giveaways promised by the...

Judith Butler vs. Mark Yudof? So not fair.
It really isn’t fair that the plebeian masses of the UC have one of the world’s greatest living rhetoricians on their side, while we here at UCMeP have as our public spokesperson, well, um, Mark Yudof.
In the interest of fair debate, check out Judith Butler’s op-ed in that communist rag of a newspaper, The Guardian. And please don’t waste your time comparing the eloquence...

Mark Yudof in the Ny Times and looking dapper as...
Yesterday our illustrious despot, President Mark Yudof, gave an interview to the New York Times on the very day of the UC-wide Walkout. As always, his timing was impeccable and his comments, well, UCMeP could not have offered a better interview.
Please be aware, this is the person who is defending public education in front of the state of California. He is the public face of the UC.
For all of...
UCMeP in Full Force in Front of 5,000+ People
UC Berkeley Buys-In
By anyone’s account, Thursday, September 24 was a momentous day in the history of the University of California. Aside from the minor unrest (UC Berkeley walkout) caused by thousands of faculty, staff and students, the day was a total success— mostly thanks to the UC Movement for Efficient Privatization, of course.
The result of the “Buy-In” went well beyond our wildest dreams and we are...
UCMeP Demands
As we all know, with UCMeP’s help, tomorrow promises to be one of the most momentous days in the history of the University of California.
With just one day to go, UCMeP would like to remind its faithful followers of the three modest demands we are rallying for:
1. We demand the end to all organizing, troublemaking, and general hullabaloo by UC faculty, employees, and students against the...
Haas Business School leading the way
We were heartened by the following email to undergraduate students from the higher-ups at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business. Employing scare tactics and encouraging students to rat out Professors and GSI’s in an effort to debilitate this Thursday’s walk-out is just what the situation calls for! Let the red-baiting begin! Thank you Haas for leading the charge!
Dear Haas...

Buy-In: Preliminary Details
Like so many other faculty, staff, and students of the University of California, we at UCMeP are extremely concerned by the pending privatization of the world’s premiere public university. Yet, unlike the thousands of faculty, staff, and students whining over the direction in which certain elites are steering the UC, we at the UC Movement for Efficient Privatization (UCMeP) are deeply troubled...

The Adopt-a-Regent Campaign (ARC)
UCMeP is proud to announce the start of its first philanthropic fundraising campaign— the Adopt-a-Regent Campaign (ARC)!
During these tough economic times, no one is taking a bigger hit than our hardworking public servants.
Please help ARC ease the troubles of California’s 26 most under-appreciated public employees by adopting a Regent today.
All proceeds will go directly to the...
Faculty Support Letter
The faculty author of the following support letter requested that his identity remain anonymous since he feared reprisals from the University of California’s large communist contingent. Perhaps someday the brave students, staff, and faculty of the University of California will not have to keep their true sentiments hidden. Thankfully, President Yudof and the UC Regents are working hard to...
