UC Schools Raise Tuition 10%
These are tough economic times, and although prices are falling many places, they are rising at our UC schools. Facing a significant budget shortfall - the state decided to slash $115.5 million from UC over two years - the University of California plans to increase tuition at its 10 campuses by 9.3 percent by July, in time for the summer session. Under the proposal, families earning more than $100,000 would pay the full fee increase, families earning from $60,000 to $100,000 would pay half the fee increase, and families earning less than $60,000 would not be subject to the fee increase. Various student services fees are expected to rise, as well. Keep this in mind as you are preparing your 2009-10 school budget!

UC Berkeley Chancellor Birgeneau denies admission to Californians for a payment of $50.600. Chancellor Robert J Birgeneau ($500,000 salary) displaces Californians qualified for public university education at Cal. for a $50,600 payment and a foreign passport. Need for transparency at University of California Berkeley has never been so clear.
UC Berkeley, ranked # 70 Forbes, is not increasing enrollment. Birgeneau accepts $50,600 FOREIGN students at the expense of qualified Californians.
UC Regent Chairwoman Lansing and President Yudof agree to discriminate against instate Californians for foreigners. Birgeneau, Yudof, Lansing need to answer to Californians.
