The Regents have a two-day meeting, starting today.
EdSource provides a preview of one topic: [Excerpt]
The University of California is seeking to add more than 20,000 students by 2030 and plans to get there by expanding online and summer programs and by concentrating growth at certain campuses, including Merced and Riverside. Those details are included in UC’s 2030 Capacity Plan, which will be presented this week to the university’s Board of Regents.*
Also during this week’s meeting, UC officials will present recommendations to improve the transfer pipeline between California’s community colleges and UC campuses. The recommendations include increasing the number of those students who apply and ultimately enroll at UC. Improving the transfer process is a key piece to expanding enrollment at UC campuses including Riverside and Merced, which plan to increase transfer recruitment efforts at nearby community colleges...

*Excerpt from Plan:
• UC proposed plan projects growth of over 23,000 state-supported students FTE and is aligned with goals and proposed funding projected in the Compact with the Governor.
• UC aspirational plan projects growth of over 33,000 state-supported students and furthers goals identified within the Compact, requiring additional funds beyond what is proposed.
• UC Merced and UC Riverside propose between 30 and 35 percent of the proposed or aspirational undergraduate enrollment growth.
• UC Berkeley, UCLA, and UC San Diego propose more than half or half the growth, in part through a swap of nonresidents for California residents.
• All UC undergraduate campuses will expand capacity by improving timely graduation and eliminating equity gaps and through summer, online, and off-campus opportunities.
• All UC campuses propose to grow graduate students to meet state workforce needs, expand research capacity, and grow and diversify future researchers and professoriate.
