UC Regents Consider 32 percent Fee Hike

Date: 9/18/2009 10:02 am

With hundreds of millions of dollars slashed from the University of California budget, the Board of Regents is considering raising student fees 32 percent next fall, bringing undergraduate tuition to over $10,000 for the first time. Students are reacting with bewilderment and anger.

"It's terrifying," said UC-Santa Barbara student Janelle Mungo, organizer of the anti-fee-hike group "Don't Cut Us Out." "We've seen our tuition go up like thousands of dollars."

"It's really coming out of left field," said Victor Sanchez, president of the UC Students Association (UCSA) and a UC Santa Cruz undergraduate. "What you're going to see is an astronomical drop in the number of students able to attend."  UCSA is a statewide student association representing more than 200,000 students at the University of California campuses.

UC administrators see the fee hikes as an unfortunate necessity in light of recent slashes to the UC budget. "Obviously a fee increase would be painful for students, we understand that," UC spokesman Ricardo Vazquez said. "But the kind of quality that students expect is being threatened."

Both graduate and undergraduate students would be affected by the fee increase. Part of the proposal considers charging undergraduate business and engineering students up to $1,000 more than other students.

"To students: I'm sorry, I regret it, but the state has stopped building the highways to higher education, and they've started building toll roads," UC President Mark Yudof said.

The proposal will be voted on in November.
