From the LA Times: UC President Janet Napolitano said Wednesday that she is preparing a
plan to significantly increase the number of California undergraduates
in the 2016-17 school year throughout the university system, including
at UCLA and UC Berkeley, where admission is the most difficult. Napolitano
declined to give details of the proposal and how it might meet the
state Legislature’s demands until she unveils it at next month’s meeting
of the UC Board of Regents in San Francisco. She described it as “a
really good plan” that will "apply to all the campuses. It will apply to
Berkeley and UCLA as well as to Riverside and Merced.” The Legislature is offering a $25-million bonus in state funding if
UC increases the number of California undergraduates by 5,000 for the
2016-17 school year. That would amount to about a 10% rise over the
nearly 50,000 new in-state freshman and transfer students who enrolled
