It appears that to put pressure on both the governor and the legislature, the Regents will be proposing (threatening?) a sequence of tuition increases which, of course, the state could "buy out" by increasing UC funding. In effect, a "negotiation" is in progress.
The LA Times has the story:

Note that the details of the two tuition alternatives being considered may matter less if the exercise is viewed as a negotiation than the fact that tuition goes up under either option, unless - of course - more funding is added.

Wouldn't it make more sense to propose a tuition reduction, contingent on the legislature allocating funds? That way the University is proposing something desirable which the legislature may fail to do, rather than the University coming across as the evil actor who is thwarted by the legislature.
