This coming from Berkley shouldn't surprise anyone but it highlights the disconnect between some of our higher education institutions with interested of the general people. For awhile now it seems that those in higher education have become very disconnect from how the worlds actual works.  From my experiences i have had teachers directly attack America and capitalism and even going as far to say that our nation deserves the attacks against it from terrorists over seas.With state budgets getting tighter and people reevaluation the money spent on grants for education. It will be interesting to see how these radical institutions fair when budgets get cut. Will tax payer wand to keep supplementing these forms of education.
