"content": "\u003cp>If there's one place to watch the really hard choices about what government can afford to spend on higher education and what a college degree should cost, it's the meat grinder that now faces the University of California in Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The stakes are high. The university, led by UC President Janet Napolitano, has insisted it will \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/11/19/gov-brown-tries-to-derail-proposed-uc-tuition-increase\" target=\"_blank\">increase tuition for as long as the next five years\u003c/a> if lawmakers don't pony up enough taxpayer dollars. Gov. Jerry Brown and legislative leaders, on the other hand, have \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Gov-Jerry-Brown-fires-back-at-UC-tells-it-to-6004634.php\" target=\"_blank\">demanded that the university system cut costs and keep tuition levels constant\u003c/a> if it wants any additional dollars. You couldn't ask for \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Jerry-Brown-takes-on-Janet-Napolitano-over-UC-5903762.php\" target=\"_blank\">a more tense showdown than this one\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(There was a tiny easing of that tension on Wednesday, when \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/education/la-me-ln-uc-summer-20150218-story.html\" target=\"_blank\">Napolitano extended an olive branch by canceling a tuition hike for summer session students\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the middle of the fracas, though, has appeared something fascinating: a push for transparency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It began when Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins (D-San Diego) said she'd insist \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/opinion/op-ed/soapbox/article9912773.html\" target=\"_blank\">on a \"zero-based budget\" review of UC spending this year\u003c/a>. Translation: Justify every dollar you spend, UC leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That process kicked off on Wednesday when an Assembly budget subcommittee summoned UC officials and the governor's team to start answering some tough questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This hearing marks the beginning of an overdue journey,\" Atkins said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She has called for a $150 million boost in UC funding, and GOP legislators support that -- along with some new efforts at accountability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"California families are counting on us to come up with solutions,\" said Assembly GOP Leader Kristin Olsen (R-Modesto).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hearing clearly wasn't going to provide all the answers needed. But here are the big questions the University of California is being asked, and some of them are doozies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. Why Has UC Spending Gone Up So Much?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legislative staff \u003ca href=\"http://abgt.assembly.ca.gov/sites/abgt.assembly.ca.gov/files/UC%20Feb%2018%20agenda.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">has been digging through the university system's spending documents for weeks\u003c/a>, and still doesn't have a totally clear picture of the reason the total UC budget is now $26.9 billion. That's a 40 percent increase from the last pre-recession year of 2007-08 until 2014-15.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After all, consider some other government services at that same seven-year mark: court funding has been cut by 3 percent; the state's social services have been cut by 22 percent; even the California State University system's increased spending was smaller, at 24 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Costs clearly vary by which of the 10 UC campuses is being examined. UCLA, for example, has a budget about 10 times the size of UC Santa Cruz. Even so, legislative budget experts have highlighted particularly big systemwide expenses, from a 99 percent increase in spending on health sciences instruction (medical and other specialty schools) to a 68 percent increase in spending on the five UC-run hospitals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One huge cost these days: paying for UC employee pensions. The university, with the blessing of state officials, stopped putting money into its pension system for almost 20 years. Now, those pension obligations are costing about $1.3 billion a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there's a lot more to sort out. Of the $26.9 billion budget for the university system, only $6.9 billion has been identified as being spent on \"core\" operations, like teaching. Getting details on that other $20 billion in costs will no doubt be high on the to-do list at the state Capitol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. Are out-of-state students crowding out California kids?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is perhaps one of the most intense public debates out there, and it's rooted in money. During the state's recession years, when lawmakers cut general taxpayer support for the UC system, the schools boosted their non-Californian population and the amount it pays in tuition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the seven years examined by legislative researchers, UC's in-state student body grew by 4 percent; its out-of-state student body grew by … take a breath here ... \u003cem>a whopping 253 percent\u003c/em>. Each one of those non-resident students now pays $22,878 more than an in-state student.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>University leaders have insisted that it hasn't meant fewer slots for Californians, but legislators have sounded skeptical in early Sacramento hearings on UC's funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. What should be considered a \"competitive salary\" for a UC employee?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a six-year timespan ending in 2013, the University of California doubled the number of employees who earn $200,000 or more. Now, before you go grab a pitchfork and storm Sather Gate, it's important to note that some of these positions aren't paid out of state taxpayer funds, and UC officials have told the Legislature that much of the growth in this high-paid tier of workers is in the UC health and hospital faculty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the publicly available data isn't clear about who's paid from which pots of money. And even then, legislators are asking tough questions about how UC officials consider what a fair salary should be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example: Should UC base its salary offers on what both public and private universities pay?

The university, led by UC President Janet Napolitano, has insisted it will \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/11/19/gov-brown-tries-to-derail-proposed-uc-tuition-increase\" target=\"_blank\">increase tuition for as long as the next five years\u003c/a> if lawmakers don't pony up enough taxpayer dollars. Gov. Jerry Brown and legislative leaders, on the other hand, have \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Gov-Jerry-Brown-fires-back-at-UC-tells-it-to-6004634.php\" target=\"_blank\">demanded that the university system cut costs and keep tuition levels constant\u003c/a> if it wants any additional dollars. You couldn't ask for \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Jerry-Brown-takes-on-Janet-Napolitano-over-UC-5903762.php\" target=\"_blank\">a more tense showdown than this one\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(There was a tiny easing of that tension on Wednesday, when \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/education/la-me-ln-uc-summer-20150218-story.html\" target=\"_blank\">Napolitano extended an olive branch by canceling a tuition hike for summer session students\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the middle of the fracas, though, has appeared something fascinating: a push for transparency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It began when Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins (D-San Diego) said she'd insist \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/opinion/op-ed/soapbox/article9912773.html\" target=\"_blank\">on a \"zero-based budget\" review of UC spending this year\u003c/a>.

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That process kicked off on Wednesday when an Assembly budget subcommittee summoned UC officials and the governor's team to start answering some tough questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This hearing marks the beginning of an overdue journey,\" Atkins said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She has called for a $150 million boost in UC funding, and GOP legislators support that -- along with some new efforts at accountability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"California families are counting on us to come up with solutions,\" said Assembly GOP Leader Kristin Olsen (R-Modesto).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hearing clearly wasn't going to provide all the answers needed. But here are the big questions the University of California is being asked, and some of them are doozies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. Why Has UC Spending Gone Up So Much?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legislative staff \u003ca href=\"http://abgt.assembly.ca.gov/sites/abgt.assembly.ca.gov/files/UC%20Feb%2018%20agenda.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">has been digging through the university system's spending documents for weeks\u003c/a>, and still doesn't have a totally clear picture of the reason the total UC budget is now $26.9 billion. That's a 40 percent increase from the last pre-recession year of 2007-08 until 2014-15.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After all, consider some other government services at that same seven-year mark: court funding has been cut by 3 percent; the state's social services have been cut by 22 percent; even the California State University system's increased spending was smaller, at 24 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Costs clearly vary by which of the 10 UC campuses is being examined. UCLA, for example, has a budget about 10 times the size of UC Santa Cruz. Even so, legislative budget experts have highlighted particularly big systemwide expenses, from a 99 percent increase in spending on health sciences instruction (medical and other specialty schools) to a 68 percent increase in spending on the five UC-run hospitals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One huge cost these days: paying for UC employee pensions. The university, with the blessing of state officials, stopped putting money into its pension system for almost 20 years. Now, those pension obligations are costing about $1.3 billion a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there's a lot more to sort out. Of the $26.9 billion budget for the university system, only $6.9 billion has been identified as being spent on \"core\" operations, like teaching. Getting details on that other $20 billion in costs will no doubt be high on the to-do list at the state Capitol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. Are out-of-state students crowding out California kids?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is perhaps one of the most intense public debates out there, and it's rooted in money. During the state's recession years, when lawmakers cut general taxpayer support for the UC system, the schools boosted their non-Californian population and the amount it pays in tuition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the seven years examined by legislative researchers, UC's in-state student body grew by 4 percent; its out-of-state student body grew by … take a breath here ... \u003cem>a whopping 253 percent\u003c/em>. Each one of those non-resident students now pays $22,878 more than an in-state student.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>University leaders have insisted that it hasn't meant fewer slots for Californians, but legislators have sounded skeptical in early Sacramento hearings on UC's funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. What should be considered a \"competitive salary\" for a UC employee?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a six-year timespan ending in 2013, the University of California doubled the number of employees who earn $200,000 or more. Now, before you go grab a pitchfork and storm Sather Gate, it's important to note that some of these positions aren't paid out of state taxpayer funds, and UC officials have told the Legislature that much of the growth in this high-paid tier of workers is in the UC health and hospital faculty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the publicly available data isn't clear about who's paid from which pots of money. And even then, legislators are asking tough questions about how UC officials consider what a fair salary should be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example: Should UC base its salary offers on what both public and private universities pay? And in the case of some managers, UC bases salary on positions with both education and non-education employers -- including Fortune 500 companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the legislative staff report puts it:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Competing with private universities and large corporations, while maintaining a public mission to sustain access to higher education for low-income students and remaining affordable to all students, is a significant challenge.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. Are students paying for teaching ... or research?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The University of California's campuses pride themselves on a faculty \u003ca href=\"http://www.ucla.edu/about/mission-and-values\" target=\"_blank\">committed to education, research and public service\u003c/a>.

For starters, we're still noodling a name. And we'd like to know how to interact with those of you who have your own questions about how to make better sense of the hustle and bustle that is politics in the Golden State. Offer ideas here, or via Twitter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, here's our first episode.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Jerry Brown may have received a lot of press attention for being frugal in his campaign spending, but the real award goes to state Treasurer John Chiang. The Democrat who successfully navigated the transition from two terms as state controller into winning the job of state banker spent a paltry $24,293 in all of 2014. Divide that by the number of votes Chiang received in both the June and November elections, and you find that the state's top money man spent \u003cem>less than four-tenths of a penny per vote\u003c/em>. Frugal, indeed!\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>On the other hand, the most surprising spending ... at least until you think about what was really going on ... was that of Attorney General Kamala Harris. The Democratic incumbent faced a never-heard-of GOP opponent, Ron Gold, and handily won a second term. But she sure did spend a lot of money relative to her fellow incumbent officeholders who were similarly unchallenged: $3.66 million. What did she spend most of it on? TV ads and political consultants. What was she doing? \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/politics/la-me-pol-california-politics-20150201-story.html\" target=\"_blank\">Probably boosting her name ID for -- well -- a race like the one she's now running\u003c/a>.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>One of the biggest dramas of 2014 played out during the early summer, when Democrats Betty Yee and John Pérez were locked in a close battle for second place in the race for state controller, eventually won by Yee. Final records show that Pérez spent almost $3.1 million in his losing effort -- while Yee, who won in November, and GOP challenger Ashley Swearengin spent a combined $3.2 million in the fall contest.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Some of the biggest winners in the world of political consulting in 2014 were the partners of a San Francisco-based Democratic firm, \u003ca href=\"http://www.scnstrategies.com/\" target=\"_blank\">SCN Strategies\u003c/a>: Ace Smith, Sean Clegg and Dan Newman. Their firm represents three of the biggest names in Democratic politics -- Brown, Harris and Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom -- and thus profited from advising those politicos. But SCN also received a little something from the ballot measure committee formed by the governor to pass Prop. 1 and Prop. 2: a $25,000 \"win fee\" paid in mid-December. When you consider that members of \u003ca href=\"http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2015/2/1/7960991/2015-super-bowl-xlix-winner-shares-seahawks-patriots\" target=\"_blank\">the winning New England Patriots received a little something extra for their big victory\u003c/a>, too, maybe it's not so surprising to do the same for top hired political guns.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Say what you will about the governor's famous dog, \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/SutterBrown\" target=\"_blank\">Sutter\u003c/a>, but the Welsh corgi knows a thing or two about travel. Tucked away in the campaign report of the political action committee formed by the California Chamber of Commerce to boost Brown's ballot measures was an unusual expense: $3,504.24 for the \"Bark The Vote\" campaign trip. Not familiar with that one? That was Sutter, accompanied by Democratic campaign aides, \u003ca href=\"http://www.smcdems.org/bark2014\" target=\"_blank\">barnstorming the state to pose for photos and spark some PR for Prop. 1 and Prop 2\u003c/a>. The money was spent on a Hertz rental car and for lodging at several hotels, including more than $1300 for Democratic officials at \u003ca href=\"http://www.bacararesort.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Santa Barbara's Bacara Resort & Spa\u003c/a>.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>As proof that the biggest money is often spent outside of the official committees controlled by candidates -- committees with rather small contribution limits in a state as big as California -- consider the bitter fight in 2014 waged for superintendent of public instruction. Incumbent Tom Torlakson pulled out a 4 percentage point win over challenger Marshall Tuck, but the the campaign reports filed by the two men mask the size of the battle. The two men spent a combined $4.82 million on their race (Tuck slightly more than Torlakson), but the real money was spent by groups who saw the schools chief race as a proxy for everything from debates over teacher tenure to charter schools and more. The pro-Torlakson independent expenditure campaign, largely financed by the California Teachers Association, spent almost $7.7 million. The pro-Tuck independent group, financed by a handful of wealthy self-described education reformers, spent just north of $10 million. Put it all together, and you have a $22.6 million fight over a position that doesn't actually have full control over California's education policy and rules.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Again, this was a relatively quiet election cycle for California. Almost all of the statewide candidate races were a bit on the ho-hum side, and there were only two real barn burners in the world of propositions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As such, expect the 2016 cycle to be more costly... a lot more costly.

Smith argued that the governor's strategy was a campaign based not on himself but on things that mattered: things like California's water needs and its long-term budget stability, \u003ca href=\"http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/Calif-Voters-Pass-Fiscal-Propositions-1-and-2-281557631.html\" target=\"_blank\">embodied in the top two measures on the ballot and around which Brown shaped his only TV ads and stump speeches\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Instead of doing the standard thing,\" said Smith, \"how about running an election based on the voters?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea of issues and policies driving the campaign was the Brown strategy for a long time, said Dana Williamson, the governor's cabinet secretary.

(John Myers/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The chart above shows spending in each regular four-year gubernatorial cycle from 1978 through 2014. The total spending gradually rose for California campaigns from 1986 ($22.5 million) through 1994 ($46.1 million).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The race of 2002 was the first big cash bonanza, where Gov. Gray Davis alone spent $78 million. And no race (and maybe no race ever again) will look like the one in 2010, where GOP challenger Meg Whitman spent $178.5 million -- most of it her own money -- along with almost $37 million spent by Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what did it cost to get the votes? Take the total votes cast and the money spent, and you find the 2014 gubernatorial race cost about $1.81 per vote. That, too, is an amazing piece of data ... considering news stories from 1986 calculated the race that year (Gov. George Deukmejian beating Democrat Tom Bradley) at $3.04 per vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But comparing the 2014 gubernatorial spending with that from 1978 isn't really fair... to 1978. After all, adjusting for inflation, the final race of the '70s would have been equal to almost $51 million in campaign spending today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No, a better comparison would be other 2014 races -- like the heated contest in \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/10/21/one-theme-two-races-in-orange-county-for-california-legislature/\" target=\"_blank\">Orange County\u003c/a> for the 34th state Senate. Total cost, when you tally candidates and independent expenditures: about $11.1 million, close to the Brown-Kashkari battle. And we may see even bigger spending on the statewide level once final campaign reports are filed from the intense fight for state superintendent of public instruction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bottom line: This was an anomaly of a gubernatorial race, something pointed out late last year in just how few votes were cast (\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/12/11/fewest-votes-cast-for-governor-since-1978\" target=\"_blank\">which also broke a record that went back to, wait for it, 1978\u003c/a>). The reasons for it? Well, maybe we'll get some insight on Saturday, when political consultants from both the Brown and Kashkari camp participate in a Q&A election post-mortem at UC Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\n",

That race was characterized in reports from the era as costing \"less than $14 million.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10420558\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10420558 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/01/NewMoney.001-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"NewMoney.001\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/01/NewMoney.001-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/01/NewMoney.001-400x225.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/01/NewMoney.001-1440x810.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/01/NewMoney.001.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: California campaign records and news reports. (John Myers/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The chart above shows spending in each regular four-year gubernatorial cycle from 1978 through 2014. The total spending gradually rose for California campaigns from 1986 ($22.5 million) through 1994 ($46.1 million).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The race of 2002 was the first big cash bonanza, where Gov. Gray Davis alone spent $78 million. And no race (and maybe no race ever again) will look like the one in 2010, where GOP challenger Meg Whitman spent $178.5 million -- most of it her own money -- along with almost $37 million spent by Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what did it cost to get the votes? Take the total votes cast and the money spent, and you find the 2014 gubernatorial race cost about $1.81 per vote. That, too, is an amazing piece of data ... considering news stories from 1986 calculated the race that year (Gov. George Deukmejian beating Democrat Tom Bradley) at $3.04 per vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But comparing the 2014 gubernatorial spending with that from 1978 isn't really fair... to 1978. After all, adjusting for inflation, the final race of the '70s would have been equal to almost $51 million in campaign spending today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No, a better comparison would be other 2014 races -- like the heated contest in \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/10/21/one-theme-two-races-in-orange-county-for-california-legislature/\" target=\"_blank\">Orange County\u003c/a> for the 34th state Senate. Total cost, when you tally candidates and independent expenditures: about $11.1 million, close to the Brown-Kashkari battle. And we may see even bigger spending on the statewide level once final campaign reports are filed from the intense fight for state superintendent of public instruction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bottom line: This was an anomaly of a gubernatorial race, something pointed out late last year in just how few votes were cast (\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/12/11/fewest-votes-cast-for-governor-since-1978\" target=\"_blank\">which also broke a record that went back to, wait for it, 1978\u003c/a>). The reasons for it? Well, maybe we'll get some insight on Saturday, when political consultants from both the Brown and Kashkari camp participate in a Q&A election post-mortem at UC Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
