First, to compare Cal Poly and Cal Poly Pomona with UC Berkeley and UC Riverside isn't really a fair analogy.
Second, assuming your hypothetical, I would say that's fine. School is school. When I was at Cal Poly, I knew many people who very much so wanted a Cal Poly education but couldn't get one because of the stringent admissions standards. Same for when I was at Harvard. All in all, blocking access to universities based upon some sort of brand or concept of prestige is harmful to our population. The CSU system should be especially concerned with this fact. |
