THE LAW
The University of California Master Plan Mandate and State Law require the University of California to provide an appropriate seat for all students in the Top 12.5% of their Local School District.
The University of California is a taxpayer funded educational institution that operates under a Master Plan that requires California residents to be given priority enrollment.
State law affirms the State’s commitment to fund all eligible California residents:
"The University of California and the California State University are expected to plan that adequate spaces are available to accommodate all California resident students who are eligible and likely to apply to attend an appropriate place within the system".
"The State of California likewise reaffirms its historic commitment to ensure that resources are provided to make this expansion possible, and shall commit resources to ensure that [eligible] students ….. are accommodated in a place within the system.” [CA Education Code 66202.5]
164 Capistrano Valley Students filed 635 Applications to the University of California
| Capo Valley Students Cost of Application Fees |
| 635 applications X $70 application fee = $44,450 |
| The UC used to have a single application that allowed you to apply to 1 or all campuses |
| 164 Applications X $70 application fee = $11,480 |
| The Difference aka... Increased Revenue to the University of California |
| $32,970 |

The actual number of students placed in the referral pool can only be confirmed with a Public Records Request. Both the California Auditor and the LAO did rights to know to get the referral pool data. It can be presumed by looking at enrollment by School University wide vs by Campus.
99% of students offered UC Merced do not choose to attend because they are "Over Qualified" for UC Merced. This forces Capistrano Valley Schools highest achieving students to go to college at a Private University or Out of State to find a college comparable to UC flagship schools like UC Berkeley or UCLA.
Financial Damage to Dana Hills Families:
The cost to these 27 families in increased tuition and fees:

Unjust Enrichment by the University of California at the expense of California taxpayers:
| Increased "Profit" to the University of CA when it "Sells" a Seat |
| Average UC Tuition: CA Resident |
$15,000 |
| Nonresident Supplemental Tuition |
$30,000 |

$45.000 |
| UC Profit from "selling" a seat $45,000 (Average nonresident tuition) |
$45,000 |
| UC has already been paid $30,000 for that seat in California taxpayer money |
$30,000 |
| Total UC Revenue for "selling" 1 seat |
$75,000 |

The UC sold 11 Capo Valley High School Seats X $75,000 per seat
$75,000 X 11 = $825,000
UC Increased revenue over 4 years = $3,300,000

UNJUST ENRICHMENT
The UC is profiting at the expense of hard working and deserving Saint Margaret's students, in violation of State law and their Master Plan Mandate which requires the University of California to provide "qualified" California resident students with "priority" enrollment. The University of California has a mandate to provide these students with an "appropriate" admit to a school they are qualified to attend. A referral to UC Merced when an applicant is "qualified" for UCLA or UC Berkeley is a violation of State Law and the University of California's Master Plan Mandate.
Any student that has been denied an "appropriate" admit is entitled to an "appropriate" admit or financial compensation so that they can afford to attend a 4-year Private University or Out-Of State College without being financially penalized.
The University of California cannot be allowed to continue to deny California Residents educational opportunity in order to unjustly enrich itself at the expense of California taxpayers.
