IMHO a separate campus could benefit the san diego area IF it were setup to emphasize sciences and teaching, IOW consider how the buildings at MIT are set up,… basically there are numbered according to an order of importance with math being numbered one, physics two,… and if I recall economics in the 200’s range, way down the line
we have a problem in that 90+% of teachers and politicians having no fucking clue about critical thinking,… hence GIGO (garbage in garbage out) in the system,… and we are where we are
so if I were king I’d set up a brand new research/teaching college on the stadium site and leave politics and social studies on the old campus, metaphorically this would put in the pipe line individuals who have a good grounding in understand math and science and an ability of passing on the mindset to future generations (i.e. “teachers”),… as it stands much of higher education seems is geared toward teaching pride of different cultures,… so we have white guys pissed off at blacks and other guys of color (and vise versa)
