UC delays release of admissions data amid budget negotiations - Katy Murphy, Mercury News

Amid a state budget standoff and a growing sense that a UC education is slipping out of reach for Californians, the University of California won't reveal its admission rates until next month -- an unusual delay that may reflect a startling number of rejections and wait-list notices high-schoolers have already received. Observers say UC could be withholding record-low admission rates to avoid further inflaming tensions as UC President Janet Napolitano tries to break a funding stalemate with Gov. Jerry Brown and lawmakers quick to accuse the university of shutting out their constituents. http://www.mercurynews.com/california/ci_27929852/uc-delays-release-admissions-data-amid-budget-negotiations
