UC tuition increase on the table for second consecutive year
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Students and other critics who say the cost of education is already too high urged the University of California on Wednesday to reject a proposal that would raise tuition at its 10 campuses for the second consecutive year.
The UC Board of Regents was expected to vote later in the day on a proposed increase of $342, or 2.7 percent, in annual tuition and fees for the 2018-19 academic year.
If approved, the cost for California residents who currently pay $12,630 in tuition and fees a year would increase to $12,972.
Out-of-state students would pay an additional $978, or an increase of 3.5 percent, bringing their total for annual tuition and fees to $28,992.
