UC President Talks In-State Expansion and Campus Activism

This week, the UC Board of Regents will consider a plan to increase enrollment of students who come from California. People from other states or other countries pay three times more and their numbers have increased as state funding has been reduced. After years of complaint, the lawmakers have come up with $25 million to increase the number of in-state undergraduates by 5000 not later than next year. But UC President Janet Napolitano says that will cover just half the cost.
