In reply to vonborks. Have you documentation showing that applicants with Spanish surnames have preference for admittance to the UC system? I really doubt that.

So what is the annual retirement cost? Why the increase when CA passes a new $6B tax? Is this just another CA failure?

You need to quip/relax once in awhile.

Had lunch today at a junior college…budget burger combo for $3.50…loaded burger, fries, drink.

Education and it’s accessories are super cheap in California. They gotta raise revenue or you pay for the losses on my budget burger combo.

Oh, I forgot! It’s Kalifornia. We can’t point to government waste, fraud, abuse, lies or corruption or we are racist and/or against the common good! I bet Napolitno and Brown played bad cop good cop: Ok Janet, you go in and say we need a rate increase, and I will act like I’m outraged since I just got these college students to vote for Prop 30. In a few months the public will forget all about it and the media will cover for us. Deal?

55% of undergrads at UC pay no tuition at all, and many of those need remedial course and some students are illegal, many more have Spanish surnames which gives them preference for admittance. UC was founded to provide advanced education for Californian’s, it was not founded to correct social problems, of which thee will always be too many. The 55% thing is nonsensical and unsustainable. As an alumni I received a letter from the Regents asking for my support, I refused…

If memory serves and it does; however, I will let this link speak to the issue. http://www.dailycal.org/2014/09/18/uc-regents-approve-executive-compensation-increases/. What we have here is another state system that is out of control that is massively bloated in the back office with an albatross of administration abuses. If an ethical consultant were to review they would eliminate thousands of make work jobs. Resultant, quality education with reasonable fees for all those enrolled. This link will help regarding the student’s concerns: http://www.dailycal.org/2014/11/18/students-rally-protest-proposed-tuition-hikes-ahead-regents-meeting/.

Sight digression – seems universally, that the education system beyond the individual school beginning at the county, state, and federal levels is where we are losing the education war. Back room bureaucrats are not the solution, nor is tossing tons of money into the rate hole going to solve anything other than increasing the bloated doing nothing staff, while killing the individual schools from doing what they should be able to do – teach, rather than chasing bureaucratic job security work.

Students feel betrayed by governor brown? Ha ha welcome to the real world. Learn this now so you will not be fooled in the future. Politicians will lie to you to get what they want. This might be the best lesson they get in their higher educatiom pursuit.
