Another UC?

With all of the attention being paid to the litigation over capping UC-Berkeley enrollment, and the pressure to expand enrollment from the legislature more generally, there comes a proposal from LAist for developing yet another UC campus.* The article ostensibly includes CSU as well as UC in its discussion. But the focus is really on UC, complete with possible locations for new UC campuses:

UC-Santa Clarita. UC-Anaheim. UC-Palm Springs, UC-East LA, UC-Chula Vista, etc.

Exactly how such campuses would be paid for is not discussed, nor is the question of whether such campuses would be seen as carrying the UC brand level of prestige. Note that the legislative focus is entirely on undergraduate admissions, but what gives universities prestige is research and graduate education.
