The University of California Board of Regents is set to vote Wednesday on a plan to raise tuition by as much as 5 percent every year for the next five years. The proposal is angering students, and has put UC President Janet Napolitano at odds with Gov. Jerry Brown, who is resisting the increase and urging the UC to reduce spending instead.

Guests:

Ana Tintocalis, education reporter for KQED News

Kevin Sabo, board chair of the University of California Student Association

H.D. Palmer, deputy director of external affairs for the California Department of Finance

Steve Montiel, media contact for the UC Regents and the UC President's Office
