The Chronicle: U. of California Regents to Consider 32% Increase in Tuition

The University of California may raise its undergraduate tuition by 32 percent by the fall of 2010 to replace sharply declining state support. The tuition proposal, which the system’s Board of Regents plans to discuss at a meeting next week, would raise resident undergraduate student fees by $585 in the spring semester of this academic year and by an additional $1,344 next fall. The university’s professional schools may also turn to unusually large tuition increases to make up for state budget reductions.
