UC Tuition Increase Voted on by UC Regents
On Thursday, the proposal for increasing UC tuition was approved by UC Regents, according to news sources such as LA Times and Newsweek.
The proposal to increase UC tuition by 5% each year was first announced at the beginning of November. Under this proposal, by 2019, UC tuition could be as much as $15,564.
The UC tuition increase was stated to be a response to budget concerns, the increased student population, and decreased state funding. Student protests in reaction to the tuition proposal have also occurred on several campuses.
