Gov. Brown’s budget forces innovation at University of California - Mary Jean Duran, Watchdog.org

This Brown budget proposes increased funding of $120 million for the UC system contingent on tuition remaining flat. He is proposing a select advisory committee headed by UC President Napolitano and himself, as the current UC Board of Regents President, to “look at all of the ways to reduce the cost structure… collaborate, use technology to negotiate reforms”. The Regents, meanwhile, voted in November to approve tuition increases of up to 5 percent in each of the next five years—a compounded increase of as much as 27.6 percent. http://watchdog.org/193618/university-of-california-budget/
