University of California plans annual tuition increases for five years BY ALEXEI KOSEFF , Sacramento Bee

The University of California will unveil a plan Thursday to raise tuition 5 percent annually over the next five years unless the state increases budget support beyond what is expected. UC said the proposal – which would kick in during the 2015-16 academic year with a potential $612 tuition increase – is an effort to increase financial stability, maintain student services and financial aid, and provide families with more advance notice of what they might owe. If fully implemented, the annual cost of base tuition and fees for a California resident will jump from $12,192 this academic year to an estimated $15,563 in 2019-20. http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/article3592462.html
