"It's an unfortunate state of affairs
when a state legislature under-funds
the largest school in the state, and the
one with the most potential to become
a prominent research institution," Manley
said. "It shows a clear lack of foresight
on its part in fostering the longterm
improvement of USC and its
national reputation."

Since then, the program has become a
tool for the success of students during
their hrst year at Ubb.
Three years ago, the College of Engineering
and the Darla Moore School
of Business decided to make University
101 a requirement for their students.
University 101 supported the
idea, and other colleges have begun offering
discipline-specific sections.
More than 2,100 USC students enrolled
last fall in the course, which is
offered at 71 percent of all accredited
colleges and universities.
