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 by the snail’s pace at which this inevitable transformation is proceeding.
While we continue to maintain 110% confidence in the magisterial abilities of President Yudof and the UC Board of Regents, we wholeheartedly believe that the privatization of the University of California can and should occur more efficiently and swiftly.
Our enduring faith in the maxim “time is money” has made our decision an easy one: UCMeP must take direct and immediate action to privatize the University of California now.
In an effort to help make privatization a more efficient and speedy process, we will be holding a very exciting direct action auction of some of UC Berkeley’s key campus landmarks, in what we are calling a “Buy-in”.
Please stay tuned for further details.
