Where will it lead? - Part 2

Blog readers will know that on June 4th we posted about an effort to get extra funding from the legislature for UC-Riverside on the grounds that Riverside gets less out-of-state tuition money (because it is not in high demand for out-of-state students). We also noted that the Riverside chancellor seems to be staying aloof from the legislative campaign for the additional funding.

Finally, we noted that UCOP was being cautious about a situation in which individual UC campuses go to the legislature for a bigger share of the budgetary pie. There could be a zero-sum element to such a process, particularly in periods of fiscal stringency.

According to EdSource, the Riverside extra funding was incorporated into the budget sent by the legislature to the governor to comply with the June 15th deadline for budgetary enactment.** The governor could use his line-item veto to eliminate the Riverside funding. Or not.
