California Legislators and UC Regents Debate Tuition Hikes as the November Election Approaches - Cheyenne Johnson, AS UCSB

The University of California budget continues to be in debate as recent legislation and decisions by both the UC Regents and California Governor Jerry Brown change the current system. Brown recently allocated funds to the University of California and the California State University systems. One of the bills, AB 1502, allocates $125 million each to the UC and CSU systems, but only if voters approve his proposed tax increase in November and the school systems maintain tuition prices at 2011-2012 levels. With the potential for increased revenue should the tax measure pass, the UC and CSU systems are currently debating whether to freeze tuition.
