Dr. Ferrer received her Ph.D. in Social Welfare from Brandeis University, a Master of Arts in Public Health from Boston University, a Master of Arts in Education from the University of Massachusetts, Boston, and a Bachelor of Arts in Community Studies from the University of California, Santa Cruz.What isn’t obvious to those not au courant with higher education in California, is that UC, Santa Cruz is not on a par with Berkeley and UCLA. Instead compare it to Reed in OR or Evergreen State in WA. It is a place where self-selected snowflakes go to hang with fellow travelers, in a drug-mediated haze while reading Marx, Mao, Marcuse, and Alinsky.
It is surmised the UC system established the Santa Cruz campus to drain the worst weirdos out of its more serious campuses (campi?). Done so those can get on with research without being distracted too much by social justice whining.
Like Barack Obama, Ferrer became a community organizer, aka paid trouble-maker. Now LA pays this aging hippie (see photo) over $500,000 a year, and she isn’t even a physician but claims to be Hispanic. Hat tip to Ed Driscoll at Instapundit for the link.
