The UC Regents approved a tuition increase for nonresident students with an amendment to set aside some of that money for additional financial aid.
UC President Janet Napolitano and Regent George Kieffer listen to students' concerns about a proposed tuition increase for nonresident students during an open session of the regents' meeting in Westwood in March. The regents voted Thursday to approve the increase.
Napolitano has said that the increase will add $26 million to the UC’s budget, which will allow the system to enroll more Californians, increase financial aid, and hire more faculty, staff and teaching assistants. UC spending per student has dropped since 2000 because state funding has not risen to fully cover the tens of thousands of additional students enrolled since then.
“I am tired of the UC system milking me for funding that I do not have to fix their broken funding mechanism,” one student said. “My journey to this moment has been riddled with pain and hardships,” Beshay said. “My parents’ income now would not have allowed me to afford an education here anymore. If you increase our tuition, you would be perpetuating a passively unapologetic and unsustainable discourse around UC financing.”
