If one looks at measures like grant-getting and undergraduate selectivity (with the correspondingly higher graduation/retention rates that come with this), then yes, the nine campuses that teach undergraduates rank in rough order of the date of their establishment. That means they get differential base funding (weighted to benefit the oldest campuses) as well as a deeper endowment. But looked at purely from the perspective of faculty research productivity and impact, there is no clear evidence that any one _campus_ is more distinguished than the next (only that some have a higher total number of the specialized departments and centers that bring in grant money). Joseph is right: any difficult winnowing on the basis of excellence would have to be done department by department, and the 'big 3' would NOT always come out on top. <br /><br />What a pity that some UC faculty seem more interested in crowding aboard the life-raft than in working together to prevent the ship from sinking.Kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497345559671687641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-465874062213929610.post-4268337878092296452009-07-11T01:08:24.585-07:002009-07-11T01:08:24.585-07:00Rather than look at the 8% cut and issues of trans...Rather than look at the 8% cut and issues of transparency, the UCLA sociology (SOCIOLOGY!!) department is proposing to lift 3/10 schools above the budgetary murk. According to some of the top UCLA sociologists, it is necessary to let most schools, and therefore thousands of students and workers suffer more and only allow the successful (?) programs at the successful (?) institutions survive. <br /><br />I'm not originally from California, but I am reading a book called "Paradise Lost: California's Experience, America's Future." The UCLA sociology faculty who are proposing this are following the same model that got California, and thus the UC system, into this mess in the first place.

Save us, take them we're better than they are! Reminds me a lot of a book I once read where all the animals were equal, but some were simply more equal than others.
