“Amid loud student protests that roiled the UCLA campus, the UC Board of Regents this afternoon approved a 32% increase in student fees.
The fee hike of $2,500, or 32%, will come in two steps by next fall. That would bring the basic UC education fees to about $10,300, plus about another $1,000 for campus-based charges, for a total that would be about triple the UC cost a decade ago. Room, board and books can add another $16,000.”
California’s budget is a DISASTER and the shortfall the state needs to close is HUGE so I am not terribly surprised at this decision, but it still saddens me. Higher education should not be cost-prohibitive. Access & affordability (along with a great education, of course) should be the central tenet of a public university. What a set back for current & future UC students everywhere.
