In the wake of Prop 30's passage, the governor has requested that the professional school tuition increases that were supposed to be on the Regents' agenda today be frozen. From the LA Times:
...UC officials dropped consideration of a possible 20%, or $2,400,
mid-year tuition hike for all students after Proposition 30 prevailed.
But remaining on the agenda was the separate proposal to raise tuition
next year for more than 50 graduate and professional degree programs in
such areas as business, dentistry, law and social work. Under the
plan, the so-called professional degree supplemental tuition would have
increased from 1.2% to 35%, depending on the campus and department. Most
would have been 7% or lower. Those supplemental fees are in
addition to the basic $12,192 tuition. For example, the proposal would
have raised the supplemental fee at UCLA's graduate business program to
$28,052, an increase of $1,626; total tuition for that program would
have been $40,244 a year. The graduate nursing program at UC
Irvine would have gone up to $10,440 with the supplemental fee, a $2,700
increase; total tuition would have been $22,632 under the plan. According
to a UC statement released Tuesday, the governor asked for "additional
time to allow him to develop a better understanding of the policies and
methodology" of the graduate and professional school charges.
