UC Online Classes in Exchange for $250 Million Funding - Xander Pakzad, IVN

In a press conference last week, Governor Jerry Brown outlined his four-year plan to balance the state budget. He declared strong determination not to see a single tuition increase at the University of California while he serves in office. To accomplish this, Brown is pressuring the UC Regents to push forward with offering online classes. The passage of last year’s Proposition 30 has allowed the state to increase UC funding by $250 million, to $2.6 billion. However, Brown warned the increase is contingent upon the University holding up their end of the bargain: allocating funds within the University more efficiently. http://ivn.us/2013/01/20/uc-online-classes-in-exchange/
