California university protests over Gov. Ronald Reagan’s interference
Two weeks after assuming office as the governor of California, Ronald Reagan proposed budget cuts to state colleges and universities of a little under 30% and encouraged the dismissal of relatively liberal Clark Kerr, the president of the University of California, by the Board of Regents. Students and faculty members marched to the Sacramento capitol to protest “the interference of partisan policies into the internal affairs” of California’s institutions of higher education. In addition to its article, the Sophian printed the marchers’ request for support via telegrams and letters.
