City News Service is reporting that the UC Board of Regents will vote Thursday on a 32 percent tuition hike that will send fees to $10,302. Today’s committee decision to recommend the hike was disrupted by protesters, some of whom were arrested.

UC officials have said they don’t want to adopt the hike, but see no alternative in the face of major state budget cuts.

    The State Legislature should be fired! Maybe if they became unemployed they might have some appreciation of what happens as a result of their inability to govern. As far as the Regents go, they should offer up an income statement and balance sheet that justifies the need for this excessive increase. Tax payer revolt is coming.

      The increase is a result of incompetent management of revenues by our government, and certainly by serious loss of tax revenue. As my neighbor who is a government employee told me at the beginning of the year; “the cuts will come for the government worker, but traditionally they happen about a year after you see them in the private sector.” I see this happening, as a friend who works in the Cal State system told me they had a 30% staff reduction. That’s a significant cut.
