The Davis College Republicans have been posting a deceptive flyer around campus, urging students to “Save UC Standards” by rallying against the elimination of the SAT II Subject tests as an acceptance requirement. While DCR points out this move may “harm the quality of education provided by the UC system” they neglect to mention that the Republican Minority in the State Assembly and State Senate have already harmed the education we receive here at UC Davis, through not allocating enough funding for education and opposing all tax increases. Because of the lack of state funding, student fees and class sizes have increased, while services and financial aid have dropped. If DCR truly cared about supporting UC standards, they would urge their party leaders to make higher education – and California’s future – a priority.
