Young UCLA Alumni and Students Fight Aging University Dinosaurs and Institutions

What a difference a decade makes! When I was an undergraduate at UCLA during the early 1990's, it was accepted without question that UCLA professors, for the most part, were extreme leftists and that there was nothing we could do about it. We simply rolled our eyes and repeated the same crap on our blue-books during exam in order to pass and move on.

Now younger Bruins are more vocal, more audacious and more conservative, perhaps reflecting a smarter and more qualified student body because of the official (unfortunately, not practical) end of affirmative action/quota.
