Despite a negative recommendation from the committee that studied it, California politicians appear bent on going ahead with the creation of a law school at UC-Irvine. As you can read here, the veteran political columnist for the Sacramento Bee, Dan Walters, ridicules the idea.

Also of note — California’s big, new “investment” in higher ed — UC Merced — seems to be a bust. I take that as more evidence that higher ed has been oversold.
