The University of California would freeze in-state tuition rates for two years and raise out-of-state rates under the budget agreement hammered out between Gov. Jerry Brown and UC President Janet Napolitano. If approved, the plan would increase the UC budget by 4 percent for the next four years. We talk with Napolitano about her budget battles with the governor and her top priorities for the 10-campus system, which she has led for almost two years.

Guests:

Janet Napolitano, president of the University of California and former U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security
