The University of California, Riverside is a public coeducational university primarily serving Riverside and San Bernardino counties of the state of California (the "Inland Empire"). Its main campus lies within a suburban district of the city of Riverside, California, and there is a branch campus in Palm Desert. It is one of ten University of California (UC) campuses and is commonly known as UCR or UC Riverside. Founded in 1907 as the Citrus Experiment Station, it is the oldest research presence of the UC in Southern California and enrolls the most diverse student body of all the UC campuses.

Campus

Main campus

UCR lies next to California State Route 60, which passes over University Avenue. Painted on the eastern support wall of the overpass is the Gluck Gateway Mural, a 190-foot memorial of UCR history from the early days of the Citrus Experiment Station through 2000, the year the mural was painted.[1] A nearby shopping center called University Village provides several stores and restaurants. The center's movie theaters serve as lecture halls during the day, with a shuttle taking students back and forth to campus every 15 minutes.

Carillon Tower, which stands in the center of the developed main campus.

In the center of the developed main campus stands the UCR Carillon, also known as the Bell Tower, one of only four in California. Designed by A. Quincy Jones, the tower is 166 feet tall and contains 48 bells, cast in France. The bells cover four chromatic octaves and weigh from 28 to 5,091 pounds. They were first heard in 1966 and were part of the initial broadcast of the campus radio station, KUCR.[2]

Directly northwest of the Carillon, the Commons student center includes study rooms and restaurants. Construction is under way to more than double the size of the center from 65,000 square feet to 142,000 square feet.[3] The new $50 million Commons (slated for completion in 2008) will include meeting rooms, dining areas and places to study.[4]

Southeast of the Carillon is the Tomás Rivera Library, the main library. Further southeast past the intersection of Citrus and Eucalyptus Avenues are the buildings that make up the instruction halls and research centers of the College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences, including what remains of the original 1907 buildings. For example, the structure now occupied by the A. Gary Anderson Graduate School of Management originally housed the historic UC Citrus Experiment Station.[5]

The University Village is several blocks from the main UCR campus, near a strip mall. The movie theater is used for classes in the morning.

Botanic Gardens

Forming the eastern border of the Riverside campus are the Botanic Gardens, which occupy 40 acres of rugged terrain in the Box Springs foothills. Prominent natural features include two arroyos and a variety of plants native to the site, including brittlebush (Encelia farinosa), California buckwheat (Eriogonum fasciculatum), California sagebrush (Artemisia californica) and deerweed (Lotus scoparius). More than four miles of hiking trails traverse the grounds.[6]

In addition to supporting research and education at UCR, the gardens offer a place of respite for students, visitors, and members of the community; in 2006 UCR Chancellor France Córdova hosted a memorial service there dedicated to members of the UCR community who died that year.[7]

Though maintained separately from the Botanic Gardens, UCR’s campus grounds are also landscaped with plants that thrive in Riverside's climate.[6]

The Big “C”

A 132-by-70-foot concrete “C“ was constructed by students in 1957 on the eastern slope of the Box Springs Mountain. It can be seen from the campus approximately 1,500 feet below. Freshman classes have the responsibility of painting the letter gold and keeping it clean throughout the year.[8]

Housing

UCR's residence halls consist of three structures: Aberdeen-Inverness, Lothian, and Pentland Hills, which house more than 3,000 students (including 75% of the freshman class) in triple, double and single rooms. UCR also features a large array of on-campus apartment complexes — Stonehaven, University Plaza and Bannockburn Village, to name just three. In fall 2007, a housing complex will be built for juniors and seniors. This project, called Arroyo Student Housing, will feature upscale apartments adjacent to Pentland Hills.[9] There are also a number of University-sanctioned apartments available for students. Among these are the luxury Sterling apartments, Grandmarc and University towers.

Reflecting UCR's diversity, a number of ethnic-, gender- and academic-oriented residence halls or theme floors have been established. These include a hall for students in the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences; a hall for students in the University Honors program; combined halls for majors in the College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences and the Bournes College of Engineering; and a hall for transfer students. Student-initiated theme halls include Unete a Mundo, for students seeking to support Latino or Chicano students in acclimating to life at UCR; a Pan African Theme Hall for students interested in developing consciousness of African culture in relation to other cultures of the world; and Stonewall Hall, dedicated to students of all gender identities and sexual orientations who wish to live in a gender-neutral community.[10]

Construction is common as UC Riverside expands.

According to a 2005 College Board profile, 28 percent of all undergraduates lived on the campus. Housing is available to all students for their first year, and 76 percent of all first-year students lived on campus.[11] Thirty percent of students remained on campus for the weekend.[11]

UCR Palm Desert

In fall 2005, UCR opened a new campus in Palm Desert in the Coachella Valley. Initially funded by a $6 million gift from a local entrepreneur, the Richard J. Heckmann International Center for Entrepreneurial Management was founded in 2001 and was UCR's first institutional presence in the area. The campus focuses on providing masters level instruction in management and in the fine arts[12].

Organization

UCR is one of the campuses of the University of California, which is governed by a Board of Regents and administered by a president, who at present is Robert C. Dynes. The administrative head of UCR is Chancellor France A. Córdova.

Students and faculty

Students

The following information is taken from the UCR fact sheet at http://www.ucr.edu/about/factsheet.html:

Enrollment totaled 16,622 students in fall 2005, of which 14,571 were undergraduates and 2,051 were postgraduates. The ethnic breakdown was:

  • Asian or Asian American — 39.6 percent.
  • Chicano or Latino — 22.4 percent.
  • White or Caucasian — 21.4 percent.
  • No response or unknown — 8.2 percent.
  • African American — 5.9 percent.
  • Other ethnic — 2.1 percent..
  • Native American — 0.4 percent.

The fact sheet continues:

"Of bachelor's degrees awarded, 60% are completed within four years, 33% within five years, and 7% within six years. Enrollment is projected to grow to about 22,000 students by the year 2015. More information about student demographics is available at: http://ucrapb.ucr.edu/institutional_planning/institutional_planning.htm."

Freshman admissions

All California high school graduates are eligible if they satisfy minimum UC criteria. [13] Out-of-state and international students are also considered for admission. The California admission requirements are a weighted GPA greater than 3.45 and an SAT score above 1858 (similar to 1240 on the old scale), along with satisfactory completion of certain high school courses in English, science, mathematics and foreign language [14][15] .

Other highlights of admission to UCR:

  • UC Riverside and UC Merced are the only UC campuses that do not select applicants through Comprehensive Review, a process that considers qualities and accomplishments demonstrating leadership, intellectual curiosity, and initiative. [16]. Ordinarily, the University of California uses Comprehensive Review when there are more qualified applicants than available admissions slots.
  • In 2004-05, UCR had the second-highest acceptance rate of any campus in the UC system, 79 percent. The Merced campus had the highest rate, and Santa Cruz followed UCR.
  • The average GPA and SAT scores at UCR were 3.48 and 1,074, respectively.
  • The percentage of students admitted to UC Riverside and who opted to attend was 17.3 percent, the second-lowest in the UC system, after the newly opened UC Merced.[17] A large percentage of incoming freshmen arrived with inadequate preparation for college-level math and English — 70 percent of entering students were not ready for calculus (requiring remedial coursework in pre-calculus), and 50-60 percent were not able to read and write at what the University of California considers the college level (requiring remediation in English)[18][19].
  • According to freshman admission data for 2003-05 published by the UC Office of the President (UC Merced excluded)[20], approximately 20 percent of UCR's freshman classes came from low socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds, the highest percentage in the UC system. Low SES was defined as having a family income below $30,000 per year and as belonging to the first generation to attend college.
  • The same study reported that 28 percent of UCR students graduated from low-performing high schools, based on Academic Performance Index data[20]. That was the highest percentage of any UC campus.

Intolerance and discrimination

In 2000, a special report indicated that UCR (along with UC Irvine and many other college and university campuses) failed to compile detailed crime statistics as mandated by the federal Clery Act[21]. Five hate crimes were reported on the UCR campus in 2004.[22][23]. The Highlander, UCR's campus newspaper, was criticized in 2003 for publishing what were called racist and homophobic comic strips [24][25]. One cartoon depicted an Asian teaching assistant proclaiming, "Welcohm to mikoheekuhnummick!" (seemingly a corruption of "Welcome to microeconomics!") while two students mocked him, asking: "Where did all the English-speaking grad students go?"[26][27]

Faculty

The sex and ethnic breakdown of the full-time faculty in 2004 was:

  • Male — 74.7 percent
  • Female — 25.3 percent
  • White — 73 percent
  • Asian or Pacific Islander — 17.7 percent
  • Hispanic — 4.6 percent
  • Black — 2.4 percent

Between 1995 and 2002, among all institutions in the country, UC Riverside has had either the largest or second-largest number of faculty members named as fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. A total of 69 UCR faculty members had been elected as fellows through 2002 http://www.ucop.edu/news/archives/2002/april09art1.htm.

Sports, clubs, and traditions

School Mascot.

  • UCR is in the NCAA Division I of the Big West Conference. Programs include women's volleyball, soccer, cross country, basketball, indoor and outdoor track and field, baseball, softball, tennis and golf, all for both men and women. Football was played until 1975, then discontinued. The cost of a football program, coupled with the legal necessity of allocating an equivalent sum of money to women's sports, makes it unlikely that football will be restored, Athletic Director Stan Morrison has written [28].
  • The volleyball and basketball teams play home games in the Student Recreation Center, which seats 3,168. The baseball team competes at the Riverside Sports Complex, just off campus at the corner of Blaine and Rustin streets. Softball is played at the Amy S. Harrison Field, adjacent to the UCR Soccer Stadium on the Lower Fields.
  • In 1998, students voted to increase fees to move UCR athletics into NCAA Division I standing. Construction of a 12,000-seat arena for basketball and volleyball has been proposed, although UCR athletic attendance does not justify the need felt by other Big West schools, according to an editorial in the student newspaper[29].
  • UC Riverside does not have a marching band, but it does assemble a rock band with horns, a guitar player, and a drummer. Because of NCAA restrictions against amplified instruments like those used in rock music, UCR sometimes hires a traditional marching band from other colleges such as UC Irvine and UC Santa Barbara for Big West Tournament games[30][31]. For the women's basketball team's appearance at the NCAA Tournament against North Carolina in March 2006, UCR brought a "rented band of bagpipers and drummers," according to wire reports posted by the NCAA at http://www.ncaasports.com/basketball/womens/gamecenter/recap/NCAAW_20060318_CARIV@NC.
  • The UCR mascot is Scotty, a tartan-wearing bear.
  • The Associated Students of the University of California, Riverside (ASUCR) is the official representative body of UCR undergraduates. It is guided by a Senate composed of 20 elected officers representing three undergraduate colleges in proportion to their enrollment. [32].
  • The Associated Students Program Board is a thirteen-member student organization responsible for planning entertainment and other events. With an annual budget of approximately $500,000, the board books artists for music festivals such as the Block Party and Spring Splash. It also supports the annual Homecoming and World Fest celebrations[33].
  • The campus hosts KUCR, a student- and community-programmed radio station, which broadcasts at 88.3 FM from a tower in the Box Springs Mountains[34]. The station plays a variety of independent music.

History

Main article: History of the University of California, Riverside

The Citrus Experiment Station

On February 14, 1907, the University of California Board of Regents established an experiment and research station on 23 acres of land on the east slope of Mt. Rubidoux. Its purpose was to conduct experiments in fertilization, irrigation and crop improvement. It was here that the navel orange was introduced to the United States[35]. In 1917, the laboratory was moved to the west slope of the Box Springs Mountains. In later years, air-pollution mitigation was added to its list of tasks.

Founding as a liberal arts college

In the late 1940s, a group of citrus growers and civic and business leaders lobbied the state legislature for the creation of a small liberal arts college attached to the UC Citrus Experiment Station. The UC system was experiencing a massive influx of students as former servicemen took advantage of the 1945 GI Bill, and a state education committee was scouting out locations for a new campus. In 1949, California Governor Earl Warren signed legislation approving the establishment of a college of letters and science in Riverside. Six million dollars was initially allocated for construction, but that figure was later reduced to $4 million[36].

University President Robert Gordon Sproul asked Gordon S. Watkins, dean of the College of Letters and Science at UCLA, to organize the new college at Riverside. Watkins became provost, the administrative head, and presided over the college's opening with 65 faculty members and 131 students in February 1954[37].

UCR as a comprehensive university

In 1958, the Regents designated Riverside as a general UC campus. Herman Theodore Spieth, UCR's first chancellor, was charged with overseeing the school's transition to full university status in accordance with the developing California Master Plan for Higher Education [38].

It fell to Ivan Hinderaker, UCR's second chancellor, to complete the task of turning UCR into a full-fledged research university. According to Charles Adrian, a retired political science professor interviewed in 1998, Hinderaker had to contend with the professors whom Watkins had recruited on the assumption that UCR would remain a small, liberal arts college. Most of the faculty had achieved tenure without having to do research, Adrian said, and so they resisted the new obligations that would necessarily accompany the transformation of UCR into a research university. After those professors retired, Adrian said, new faculty members were recruited with strong research interests. The natural sciences faculty had no trouble adapting to UCR's new focus because it had always been committed to research[39].

Hinderaker was installed as chancellor on September 29 1964, the same year the Free Speech Movement erupted at UC Berkeley. While there were confrontations between student activists and the campus administration at UCR in the 1960s, they did not occur on the dramatic scale of political protests at larger UC campuses. Hinderaker cooperated with student activists throughout his administration[40].

According to an interview with Hinderaker recorded in 1998, growth towards full university status was unexpectedly hindered in 1972 when the mayor of Riverside asked Governor Ronald Reagan to declare the South Coast air basin a smog disaster area. Riverside thereupon gained a reputation for severe pollution, a condition that hampered recruitment of both students and faculty. For a while, rumors circulated that the campus would close. Hinderaker said he developed UCR’s innovative biomedical program and popular business administration program partly to lessen the enrollment problems created by Riverside's poor air quality[41]. He also established UCR’s graduate schools of education and administration and streamlined UCR’s departmental structure during this period.

The 1980s

The state’s ability to fund higher education was drastically reduced by the 1978 passage of Proposition 13, a California ballot measure that cut property taxes. Budgets were reduced for UCR, along with all other public education institutions in California. After Hinderaker retired in 1979, a series of chancellors served relatively brief appointments through the 1980s. Enrollment made modest but sustained annual gains through the decade, more than doubling by 1991. [42]

The 1990s and after

A statewide recession in the early nineties brought drastic cuts to student services and financial aid programs as well as significant increases in fees, which caused a reduction in enrollment throughout the UC and California State University systems. With the improvement of the economy in 1994, the UC campuses began receiving more applications than they had anticipated[43]. This surge became known as "Tidal Wave II" (the first "tidal wave" of students having been the Baby Boom generation born in the post-World War II era). To help the UC system accommodate this growth, planners targeted UCR for an annual growth rate of 6.3 percent, the fastest in the UC system and anticipated that 19,900 students would be enrolled at UCR by 2010[44].

As enrollment increased, so did the ethnic diversity of the students. By 1995, fully 30 percent of UCR students were members of minority groups, the highest proportion of any campus in the UC system. The 1997 implementation of Proposition 209 — which banned the use of race and ethnicity as criteria for admissions, hiring, promotions and contracting by state agencies (including the University of California) — had the effect of increasing ethnic diversity at UCR while reducing it at Berkeley and UCLA. The latter two campuses — the most selective in the UC system — redirected many of their minority applicants to UCR, which had fewer applicants competing for admission.[45].

Administrative heads of UC Riverside

Academic innovations and noted educational features

The university's free wireless internet coverage has been praised by Intel[46]. UCR is a primary partner in the Riverside Regional Technology Park, which includes the City of Riverside and the County of Riverside. The park is intended to assist entrepreneurs in developing new products[47].

Professional schools

Plans to establish both a law school and a medical school have been in progress since Chancellor Orbach’s administration in the 1990s, with the medical school proposal attracting substantial support from industry as well as the local community[48] [49] [50] [51]. The Regents are expected to make their decision regarding the proposal in November 2006.

Libraries and collections

UCR's library system is divided into general collections, music, media, and science. General collections are housed in the Tomás Rivera Library. The Science Library includes collections in the physical, natural and agricultural sciences, biomedical sciences, and engineering and computer sciences. There is no separate dedicated medical library for UCR's 48 first- and second-year medical students.

UCR is host to the world's largest academic collection of Star Trek material,[52] and it houses the 80,000-volume Eaton Collection of science fiction, horror, fantasy, and utopian literature — the world's largest such compilation available to the general public.

The university has special research collections and museums, including an herbarium[53], one of the world's most important citrus variety collections[54], and one of the largest entomological museums in the United States[55].

UCR administers the UCR/California Museum of Photography in downtown Riverside. With more than 500,000 photographic images and related materials, the museum constitutes the most comprehensive photographic collection in the West; it includes Ansel Adams' Fiat Lux 1965 archive containing photos of UC campuses. Much of the museum's collection is viewable online; its website receives 3.5 million visitors a year and is the most visited photography museum website in the world[56] [57].

Thomas Haider Program in Biomedical Sciences

This program offers a joint medical degree program with UCLA. The first two years of medical instruction are given on the UCR campus, and third- and fourth-year clerkships are served at UCLA and its affiliated medical centers. Students completing the program receive a bachelor of science degree in biomedical sciences from UCR and an M.D. degree from the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.

Before 2002 the joint program was an accelerated seven-year track offered exclusively to biomedical science majors. In that year, however, the program was lengthened to eight years and opened to all qualified majors at UC Riverside. Up to 24 of each year's applicants are chosen to attend medical school at UCR and UCLA.[58]

Rankings and distinctions

  • US News and World Report's "America's Best College" issue for 2007 ranked UC Riverside 88th among national universities and 39th among public institutions,[59][60] a decline from the previous year. Its undergraduate business program was ranked 77th (of 141), and its undergraduate engineering program was 87th (out of 102)[61]. UCR's graduate programs were unranked by the publication.
  • The same publication compared all the UC campuses and ranked UCR last overall. US News and World Report also determined that UCR's peer-assessment score (which considered a school's academic excellence as rated by top academics) was the lowest in the University of California system.
  • The Princeton Review's "Best 361 Colleges, 2006'" guide (ISBN 0-3757648-3-6) listed UCR as one of the "Best Western Colleges"[62] and one of "America's Best Value Colleges"[63].
  • But Princeton Review also said UCR was one of the worst 20 colleges in the nation for "Professors Get Low Marks [for Teaching]"[64], "Teaching Assistants Teach Too Many Upper-Level Courses"[65] and "Professors Make Themselves Scarce."[66]
  • Washington Monthly, which assesses the quality of schools based on their contributions to the nation (in the areas of community service, research and social mobility) in 2006 ranked UCR 22nd among "National Universities."[67]
