UC tuition could soar under worst budget scenario - TERENCE CHEA, Associated Press

Student tuition at the University of California could rise more than 30 percent next year if Gov. Jerry Brown's budget plan doesn't pan out, school administrators said Wednesday. The governor earlier this year signed legislation reducing state support for UC by $500 million to roughly $2.5 billion for the coming fiscal year. Three years ago, the 10-campus system received more than $3 billion from the state, UC officials said.
