The model regents approved still allows the system to increase undergraduate tuition and systemwide fees by as much as 5% annually, depending on inflation, and locks in that rate for students enrolling that year for up to six years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each cohort of incoming students pays the same tuition, but what they pay is more than the previous year’s cohort, and less than what the next cohort will pay. This means that current undergraduate students would see no change to their tuition. Graduate students, however, would continue to see annual increases because they’re not on the cohort model.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The revised plan begins in 2026-27.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This “stability” plan is a way to ensure UC can collect more revenue to finance the ever-increasing costs of educating students that signals consistency and predictability to students and their families, UC officials contend. The approach is a departure from a boom-and-bust cycle at UC in which tuition stays flat for several years until recessions and state cutbacks prompt double-digit tuition spikes in consecutive years. That happened during the 2007 Great Recession. After six years, tuition \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/explainers/cost-of-college-california/#:~:text=Here%E2%80%99s%20a%20primer%20on%20how%20costs%20have%20changed%20%E2%80%94%20and%20how%20and%20where%20higher%20education%20can%20be%20affordable.\">had doubled\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The regents first adopted this cohort tuition model in 2021 and it took effect in 2022. Since 2021, tuition for entering undergraduates has risen from \u003ca href=\"https://www.ucop.edu/operating-budget/_files/fees/202223/2022-23.pdf\">$12,570\u003c/a> to \u003ca href=\"https://www.ucop.edu/operating-budget/_files/fees/202526/2025-26.pdf\">$14,934\u003c/a> this year. UC first began charging tuition in 1970 — the enrollment fees were $450.[aside postID=news_12064357 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/11/251117-UCStrike-08-BL.jpg']Students were livid in 2021 and remained so today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Students should not be fighting for our lives,” said Diego Emilio Bollo, president of the undergraduate student association at UCLA. He spoke at a rally today with dozens of students opposing the tuition plan and said the UC should look elsewhere for money. “The UC should be fighting in Sacramento and in Washington, DC. And the students are not the UC’s backup budget plan.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC says 98% of California students with household incomes below $60,000 and who applied for financial aid don’t pay tuition, though student advocates say some undergraduates still fall through the cracks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regent Michael Cohen, who helped to secure more financial aid for UC students when the board voted to launch the cohort plan in 2021, said he supported the model today because tuition stays flat for individual students for up to six years after they see a tuition hike once. To him, that means students get an increasing discount, as tuition stays flat while inflation rises.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cohen added that the revenue from the tuition increases allowed the UC to enroll 15,000 more new California undergraduates. “That’s remarkable,” he said. State aid alone couldn’t have given more Californians access to the UC, he noted. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis vehemently opposed the continuation of the tuition increases. She said these decisions should be reviewed at least annually, not left alone for years at a time. “Our students sleep in their cars. Our students go to food banks in order to be able to eat,” she said. “I think that any time we raise tuition, we should be going back and understanding whether or not we’ve done every other possible thing to avoid raising tuition.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The original plan proposed today would have led to endless ongoing tuition increases. But students and some regents were critical of the cohort model continuing without end, so the board voted to revisit the model in seven years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Guided by UC Office of the President officials, the board also lowered from 45% to 40% the share of new tuition revenue that flows to undergraduate financial aid. When regents installed this tuition hike plan, the return-to-aid figure was 33%.[aside postID=news_12062080 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/09/20250929_UCBERKELEY_GC-5-KQED.jpg']Counterintuitively, this means that low- and moderate-income students \u003ca href=\"https://regents.universityofcalifornia.edu/regmeet/july25/b2.pdf#page=5\">got thousands more in financial aid\u003c/a> to cover tuition and additional living costs under these tuition increases than they would have had the UC not increased tuition. On the other hand, higher-income students, those from families with incomes above $120,000, generally paid hundreds of dollars more for their cost of attendance because they get less financial aid, median data from UC show. UC projections show that those \u003ca href=\"https://regents.universityofcalifornia.edu/regmeet/nov25/b3.pdf#page=8\">trends will continue\u003c/a> through the end of the decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, some higher-income students receive UC grants from return-to-aid. For example, a quarter of students whose families make between $147,000 and $184,000 \u003ca href=\"https://www.ucop.edu/enrollment-services/data-and-reporting/reports-to-the-regents-on-student-financial-support/2025-guea-student-financial-support-report-nf-final.pdf#page=7\">received a UC grant in 2023-24\u003c/a>. Students receive financial aid based on a federal formula that takes into account household income, money in certain financial accounts and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kiplinger.com/taxes/types-of-nontaxable-income\">untaxed income\u003c/a>, such as life insurance payouts and inheritances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About half of in-state undergraduate students at UC live in households with incomes below $120,000, \u003ca href=\"https://accountability.universityofcalifornia.edu/2025/chapters/chapter-2.html#:~:text=31%20percent%20of%20in%2Dstate%20students%2C%20come%20from%20low%2Dincome%C2%A0families.\">UC data show\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Funneling a portion of tuition increases to financial aid has resulted in an extra roughly $1 billion in financial aid for students, a UC finance official said today. Overall, 35% of UC undergraduates from California take out loans to attend the system and the average debt has been constant at about $17,000, said Shawn Brick, who heads financial aid, at the regents meeting. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003ch2>UC budget struggles\u003c/h2>\n\n\u003cp>The drop in return-to-aid is a way to route more funding to campuses that have been rocked by federal cutbacks tied up in legal battles and state support that is less than Gov. Gavin Newsom and the state Legislature had indicated the UC \u003ca href=\"https://regents.universityofcalifornia.edu/regmeet/sept25/f2.pdf#page=3\">would receive in past years\u003c/a>.[aside postID=news_12056908 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/230817-UC-BERKELEY-CAMPUS-MD-03-1020x680.jpg']Already, the UC is enrolling about 4,000 more California students than the state is giving them money for. Because of this, UC reported that it brings in less money per student to educate them than the system collected four years ago — down to $28,000 from $30,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly 800 employees have been laid off across the UC system this year, UC President James B. Milliken said. “These layoffs reflect the seriousness of the financial pressures we are navigating,” he said this morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC has also fought to recover 1,600 federal research grants that the Trump administration suspended or terminated. While many have been restored through court orders, 400 are still defunded, totalling $230 million, Milliken said. Meanwhile the UC \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/2025/03/university-of-california/#:~:text=is%20antisemitism.-,UC%20lawsuits,-In%20protecting%20its\">has sued to halt\u003c/a> Trump from changing a formula for how much campuses receive in grant funds to maintain labs. At stake is \u003ca href=\"https://www.chronicle.com/article/trump-wants-to-cut-billions-in-research-spending-heres-how-much-it-might-cost-your-university\">another half-billion dollars\u003c/a>. That money supports jobs and regional economies; the UC is the state’s \u003ca href=\"https://accountability.universityofcalifornia.edu/2025/exec-sum.html\">second-largest employer\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC officials persuaded the regents to make other technical changes that increase the odds that tuition for the next cohort would rise more than it has so far, but tuition increases would still be capped at 5%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One allows UC to defer the financial impact if inflation exceeds 5%. In that case, the percent that is above 5% would be applied to a future year when the inflation rate is lower. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Had this plan been in place since 2022, tuition would have risen by 1.5% \u003ca href=\"https://regents.universityofcalifornia.edu/regmeet/nov25/b3.pdf#page=4\">more than it did this year\u003c/a>, UC finance staff said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The UC Regents also agreed to include another one-percentage-point increase in cohort tuition that would be dedicated to building maintenance or another campus need. Still, tuition increases wouldn’t exceed 5%. The system regularly asks for hundreds of millions in money but often gets much less.

The model regents approved still allows the system to increase undergraduate tuition and systemwide fees by as much as 5% annually, depending on inflation, and locks in that rate for students enrolling that year for up to six years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each cohort of incoming students pays the same tuition, but what they pay is more than the previous year’s cohort, and less than what the next cohort will pay.

The approach is a departure from a boom-and-bust cycle at UC in which tuition stays flat for several years until recessions and state cutbacks prompt double-digit tuition spikes in consecutive years. That happened during the 2007 Great Recession. After six years, tuition \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/explainers/cost-of-college-california/#:~:text=Here%E2%80%99s%20a%20primer%20on%20how%20costs%20have%20changed%20%E2%80%94%20and%20how%20and%20where%20higher%20education%20can%20be%20affordable.\">had doubled\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The regents first adopted this cohort tuition model in 2021 and it took effect in 2022.

He spoke at a rally today with dozens of students opposing the tuition plan and said the UC should look elsewhere for money. “The UC should be fighting in Sacramento and in Washington, DC. And the students are not the UC’s backup budget plan.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC says 98% of California students with household incomes below $60,000 and who applied for financial aid don’t pay tuition, though student advocates say some undergraduates still fall through the cracks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regent Michael Cohen, who helped to secure more financial aid for UC students when the board voted to launch the cohort plan in 2021, said he supported the model today because tuition stays flat for individual students for up to six years after they see a tuition hike once. To him, that means students get an increasing discount, as tuition stays flat while inflation rises.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cohen added that the revenue from the tuition increases allowed the UC to enroll 15,000 more new California undergraduates. “That’s remarkable,” he said. State aid alone couldn’t have given more Californians access to the UC, he noted. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis vehemently opposed the continuation of the tuition increases. She said these decisions should be reviewed at least annually, not left alone for years at a time. “Our students sleep in their cars. Our students go to food banks in order to be able to eat,” she said. “I think that any time we raise tuition, we should be going back and understanding whether or not we’ve done every other possible thing to avoid raising tuition.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The original plan proposed today would have led to endless ongoing tuition increases. But students and some regents were critical of the cohort model continuing without end, so the board voted to revisit the model in seven years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Guided by UC Office of the President officials, the board also lowered from 45% to 40% the share of new tuition revenue that flows to undergraduate financial aid. When regents installed this tuition hike plan, the return-to-aid figure was 33%.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

On the other hand, higher-income students, those from families with incomes above $120,000, generally paid hundreds of dollars more for their cost of attendance because they get less financial aid, median data from UC show.

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 5 p.m. Thursday, July 22:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThe University of California Board of Regents voted to begin increasing tuition in 2022-23. The Board of Regents voted to largely keep the proposal as laid out below, but with some modifications, including that the hike is no longer indefinite and will be voted on again in five years, and that a greater share of revenue from the increase will go to financial aid for in-state students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original story:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nGet ready for whiplash: After receiving \u003ca href=\"https://regents.universityofcalifornia.edu/regmeet/july21/p2.pdf\">$1.3 billion in new money\u003c/a> from lawmakers this year, the University of California now wants to raise tuition on each incoming undergraduate class. Every year. Indefinitely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once tuition spikes for an incoming class, it would stay flat for six years for that class — allowing students to more reliably calculate the multiyear cost of a degree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The UC Board of Regents will vote Thursday on a tuition-hike plan two years in the works that was initially derailed by the COVID-19 pandemic but has since been resuscitated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC officials project that in-state tuition and systemwide fees \u003ca href=\"https://regents.universityofcalifornia.edu/regmeet/july21/b1attach4.pdf#page=7\">would grow by $534 in 2022-23\u003c/a> and increase by a slightly lower amount for each subsequent incoming class of undergraduate students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The upshot is that in 2026-27, California undergraduates entering the UC would owe a projected $15,078 in annual tuition and statewide fees — about $2,500 more than what in-state undergraduates pay now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://e.infogram.com/_/Uj9MnXqdgAi2JUNhVCPX?src=embed\" title=\"Projected tuition increases at the UC\" width=\"800\" height=\"925\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal is a complicated one, stippled with tuition hike estimates pegged to inflation and studded with various exemptions meant to cap what students would ultimately owe. But what’s definite is that this marks a dramatic departure for the UC: After doubling tuition during the great recession in response to deep state cuts, the UC raised tuition just once since 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do believe (the tuition increase is) likely to pass even though I would not like it to,” said Alexis Atsilvsgi Zaragoza, a UC Berkeley undergraduate and a student voting member of the Board of Regents who’ll be casting her first vote at this week’s meeting. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her dissent has powerful allies. Speaker of the Assembly Anthony Rendon, a Long Beach Democrat, and Senate President Pro Tempore Toni G. Atkins, the two leaders of the Legislature, oppose the tuition increases at this time, they told CalMatters in emails. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Families have been struggling during this pandemic and this year has been difficult enough for so many Californians,” said Atkins, a San Diego Democrat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC President Michael V. Drake declined to be interviewed for this story. \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgiyF6R9NTE&t=12350s\">At the May Regents meeting\u003c/a>, Drake said the tuition plan will “help campuses preserve academic excellence and critical support services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s no secret that UC’s funding has been unstable for years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His office argues that the UC needs stable revenue from tuition to counter the long trend of state disinvestment. The system four decades ago got about 80% of funding to educate students from state support. Today, that share has shrunk to closer to 40%, nearly identical to how much revenue the system collects from tuition. \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/2021/06/california-college-budget/\">This year’s massive infusion of state cash to the UC\u003c/a> does little to reverse that trend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://e.infogram.com/c4661e74-01b9-4fc0-81a2-1f3a7617df21?src=embed\" title=\"Declining state support for the UC\" width=\"800\" height=\"975\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The UC president’s office projects \u003ca href=\"https://regents.universityofcalifornia.edu/regmeet/july21/b1attach2.pdf\">soaring costs totaling $2.1 billion by 2026-27\u003c/a> on top of current expenses, a shortfall it argues must be plugged with tuition hikes along with more money from the Legislature. The new added revenue \u003ca href=\"https://regents.universityofcalifornia.edu/regmeet/july21/b1attach3.pdf\">would pay for more faculty hires\u003c/a>, salary and benefits increases, plus a slew of student support services and programs aiming to \u003ca href=\"https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/news/uc-s-ambitious-plan-help-more-students-earn-degree\">boost graduation rates\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the UC maintains that the proposed tuition model is ultimately better for all students. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Low-income students who don’t pay tuition anyway because they qualify for financial aid would get even more money for books, housing and food, because about 36% of the revenues from the tuition hikes would go back to student aid. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And with tuition growing only once per graduating class and tied to inflation, the cost of attendance will be predictable and stable for higher-income students who’ll pay full freight.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Specifics of the Proposed Tuition Hike\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://regents.universityofcalifornia.edu/regmeet/july21/b1attach1.pdf\">proposed plan would increase tuition for each new incoming undergraduate class of students\u003c/a> starting in 2022-23. Every tuition hike would be pegged to inflation. Undergraduate students also would pay a surcharge of 2% or less, which would be phased out within a few years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New and continuing students in state-funded graduate programs would \u003ca href=\"https://regents.universityofcalifornia.edu/regmeet/july21/b1.pdf\">see a different kind of tuition hike\u003c/a>: theirs would be annual, rather than occurring once for every incoming class, and grow with inflation starting in 2022-23.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal ties tuition growth to a three-year rolling average of inflation. Doing so keeps tuition from changing drastically if consumer prices soar. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposed hike would cap tuition growth \u003ca href=\"https://regents.universityofcalifornia.edu/regmeet/july21/b1.pdf\">in any year at 6%\u003c/a>. Another provision would grow tuition by a smaller amount if state lawmakers increase their share of UC’s budget \u003ca href=\"https://regents.universityofcalifornia.edu/regmeet/july21/b1.pdf#page=2\">by more than 5%\u003c/a>.

The Board of Regents voted to largely keep the proposal as laid out below, but with some modifications, including that the hike is no longer indefinite and will be voted on again in five years, and that a greater share of revenue from the increase will go to financial aid for in-state students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original story:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nGet ready for whiplash: After receiving \u003ca href=\"https://regents.universityofcalifornia.edu/regmeet/july21/p2.pdf\">$1.3 billion in new money\u003c/a> from lawmakers this year, the University of California now wants to raise tuition on each incoming undergraduate class. Every year. Indefinitely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once tuition spikes for an incoming class, it would stay flat for six years for that class — allowing students to more reliably calculate the multiyear cost of a degree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The UC Board of Regents will vote Thursday on a tuition-hike plan two years in the works that was initially derailed by the COVID-19 pandemic but has since been resuscitated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC officials project that in-state tuition and systemwide fees \u003ca href=\"https://regents.universityofcalifornia.edu/regmeet/july21/b1attach4.pdf#page=7\">would grow by $534 in 2022-23\u003c/a> and increase by a slightly lower amount for each subsequent incoming class of undergraduate students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The upshot is that in 2026-27, California undergraduates entering the UC would owe a projected $15,078 in annual tuition and statewide fees — about $2,500 more than what in-state undergraduates pay now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://e.infogram.com/_/Uj9MnXqdgAi2JUNhVCPX?src=embed\" title=\"Projected tuition increases at the UC\" width=\"800\" height=\"925\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal is a complicated one, stippled with tuition hike estimates pegged to inflation and studded with various exemptions meant to cap what students would ultimately owe. But what’s definite is that this marks a dramatic departure for the UC: After doubling tuition during the great recession in response to deep state cuts, the UC raised tuition just once since 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do believe (the tuition increase is) likely to pass even though I would not like it to,” said Alexis Atsilvsgi Zaragoza, a UC Berkeley undergraduate and a student voting member of the Board of Regents who’ll be casting her first vote at this week’s meeting. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her dissent has powerful allies. Speaker of the Assembly Anthony Rendon, a Long Beach Democrat, and Senate President Pro Tempore Toni G. Atkins, the two leaders of the Legislature, oppose the tuition increases at this time, they told CalMatters in emails. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>A University of California regent who was caught on tape last year asking an employee if he could hold her breasts has decided to resign amid growing calls that he step down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regent Norman J. Pattiz sent a letter dated Thursday to Regents Chair George Keiffer saying that after 16 years on the board he would retire in February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His letter, which was first reported by the San Francisco Chronicle, did not mention the sexual harassment accusation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keiffer responded in a letter that thanked Pattiz for announcing his retirement, adding that \"after so many years you deserve a break.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pattiz is the founder of America's largest radio network, Westwood One, and CEO of Courtside Entertainment Group, which produces radio shows and podcasts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The controversy became public in October 2016, when comedian Heather McDonald aired comments that Pattiz had made to her while taping a podcast commercial in May 2016 for a memory-foam bra.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She flubbed some of her lines, and Pattiz asked, \"Can I hold your breasts? Would that help?\" and showed his hands, saying, \"These are memory foam.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pattiz subsequently apologized for the remarks and said they were meant as a joke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The University of California promptly created new guidelines on sexual harassment for its governing board in response to outrage over Pattiz' behavior. Under that policy, all regents are now required to take the university's training program in sexual harassment prevention, as do employees at UC's 10 campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students revived calls for his resignation in recent weeks as women across the country have spoken out about sexual misconduct by powerful men. Students protested at a November UC Regents meeting, demanding he be removed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, several regents including Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom raised questions about whether the Board of Regents had dealt too lightly with Pattiz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Delaine Eastin, a former UC regent, said that the omission of sexual harassment allegations in the announcement was suspect, especially after Pattiz recently accepted a new term. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He accepts a reappointment to the office of the regents and then he said, 'Well, I'm going to quit but it has nothing to do with my inappropriate behavior.' Well what does it have to do with then?\" she said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regent Ellen Tauscher will take over Patiz' main duties. \u003c/p>\n\n",

Tuition has been frozen since 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vote came after months of lobbying by UC President Janet Napolitano who had called the increase modest and a necessity for maintaining the quality of the nation's largest public university system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The university enrolled 7,400 more California undergraduates last fall than the previous year, marking the largest enrollment increase since World War II. It plans to add another 2,500 new students for the 2017-18 school year and 2,500 more the following academic year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Several students made impassioned pleas to the regents on Thursday, during public comments ahead of the vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I truly understand why you're raising tuition, I know that the (student) population is increasing, but I also ask you to understand my perspective,\" said Ana Bucardo, 19, a freshman at UC Riverside and a first-generation college student. Aside from tuition and fees, students need to pay for rent, food and books. \"Raising tuition really does affect me, and other students.

Gov. Gavin Newsom, who is also on the Board of Regents, voted against the proposal, saying that asking students for money lets Sacramento off the hook from investing more in public higher education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is not insignificant to a lot of folks that will be burdened by it,\" he said about the 2.5 percent increase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Napolitano said the increase is structured in a way that means most students won't be affected by it. Financial aid will cover the increases for two-thirds of the system's California undergraduates, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The UC campuses currently have 210,170 students, of which 84 percent are California residents. As part of its financial aid programs, in-state students who come from a family earning under $80,000 a year pay no tuition at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the financial burden would fall on out-of-state students who currently pay $38,976 per year, more than triple the amount of their in-state peers.
