The standoff between state officials and the University of California over its finances and admissions policy grew tense Tuesday as the university threatened to limit enrollment of California students next year unless it receives more money from the state.
UC President Janet Napolitano told an Assembly budget subcommittee that the university will cap in-state enrollment at current levels while continuing to increase the number of nonresident students.
“We will not not be admitting students that we don’t know that we actually have funding for,” Napolitano said.
UC will still increase the number of out-of-state and international students by up to 2,000 next year, a step that the university argues is financially necessary to support slots for in-state students.

Say what you will, but in my book, California is still the nicest part of Mexico.
Amazing. This is actually the free market and capitalism at work.
Janet, Janet, who do you think provides the taxes that fund your school?
Out of state students pay more money. A sure sign California is cash strapped and needs money. Well well.
Good one

Yup.

Is it wrong and evil to wish that the San Andreas fault just let go and the whole state slip into the Pacific? /s
The powers-that-be won't dare charge illegal alien "dreamers" the out-of-state rate, and they won't dare limit the number of "dreamers" going to college.
So the number of residents going to UC colleges will be cut by both non-residents and "dreamers".
Even liberals wake up when their children are denied access to the best schools.
This University action will, no doubt, NOT APPLY TO ILLEGAL ALIENS WHO WILL CONTINUE TO BE RECRUITED.
translation: “ FU California taxpayers!”
If they decide to limit legal California citizens, then they had better lower the taxes that all Californians pay to support the UC and CSU systems.
Yes. When we’re gone, the USA will tip over because it will be too heavy on the East coast.

I’d settle for CA just seceding from the US.
The cost of keeping a harem can get pretty expensive, right Janet?
UC Berkeley threatened to go private back in the late Seventies because of lack of funding from Sacramento. Interesting to see dynamics have not changed that much.
