Misinformation: the Enemy of Excellence - The Daily Californian:
"Misinformation is the enemy of progress toward solutions that will preserve excellence and access within all 10 campuses of the University of California.
One troubling example is the claim by a UC Santa Cruz faculty union leader that educational fee increases are being implemented to allow the university system and campuses to borrow more money for capital projects.
It's the kind of factually challenged distortion we've come to expect in partisan politics. What makes it troubling is that this and other misleading claims spread like viruses through the UC community. We hope students, faculty and staff recognize it for what it is: nonsense."
