Talk:History of the University of California, Los Angeles

message: i don't have time to further research this for now, but a section on the impact of prop 13 through the 80s, and props 187 & 209 through the 90s at UCLA, and a section summarizing research achievements during the Charles Young era should be written up. The "new era" of UC political strife sort of begins with 187 & 209 and, of course, 9/11. A section on "new frontiers/current research" in stem cells and nanotech could also be included. That's about all i can think of. Ameriquedialectics 04:14, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Why UCLA was established in 1919? Because my sweatshirt reads "UCLA BRUINS EST 1919." Because Bill Clinton said on May 20, 1994, at Pauley Pavilion, "I'm proud to be here to honor the University's 75th anniversary, ..." (Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis died that day.) Because UCLA Timeline has this entry: "1919 California Gov. William D. Stephens signs Assembly Bill 626, establishing the Southern Branch of the University of California. The Vermont Avenue campus opens on Sept. 15, offering two-year undergraduate programs to 260 Junior College students and 1,078 students in the Teachers Training program, under the direction of Ernest Carroll Moore." Because UCLA had these celebrations: "WWII PUT DAMPER ON 25TH ANNIVERSARY, BUT GALA CELEBRATIONS IN '69 HIGHLIGHTED 50TH BASH" The only thing to do with the State Normal School is that UCLA used the facilities on the Vermont Ave. for a few years.

replies: text: I concur. The only unit at UCLA that can claim the 1891 founding date is the school of education. Ameriquedialectics 04:38, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

message: There are several problems with this article. Here is my brainstorming on how to fix it (so that people don't freak out whenever I get around to making major changes):
* The article fails to explain how Dickson and Moore were able to bring about the transfer of the State Normal School at Los Angeles to the UC Board of Regents. The way this happened was because of a critical loophole in the state constitution and UC's Organic Act: both documents failed to expressly state that UC was to be the state's only university. Even though the legislature could not directly legislate for UC without UC's consent, the legislature found it could indirectly exert leverage over UC by threatening to create a second state university in Los Angeles independent of UC control. So UC was eventually coaxed into reluctantly agreeing to the transfer to avoid that unwanted outcome. 
* The article fails to evoke the north-south tension that was the defining feature of UC's internal politics for many years.  Invariably UCLA would try to do something, Berkeley would say no, and UCLA kept pushing.  Clark Kerr covers this tension in great detail in his memoirs.
* The article fails to adequately explain the importance of the two changes in the campus name as part of UCLA's efforts to define itself as something different from and independent of Berkeley. 
* The article fails to cover how UCLA became a source of administrators for other UC campuses, including Riverside, Santa Barbara, and Santa Cruz.
