NEW FUNDING IDEAS NEEDED

Friday, Sept. 18, 2009, Editorial, San Francisco Chronicle

excerpt:

“Here’s some ideas to consider carefully:

— Differential pricing. Tier tuition, with the campuses with the most name-brand clout, Berkeley and UCLA, at the top; Davis, San Diego, Santa Barbara and Santa Cruz at mid-range, and Irvine, Merced and Riverside at the low end.

— Go overseas: Foreign students already pay premium tuition for a UC education. Recruit more.

— Levy an oil severance tax – projected to bring in $1.2 billion a year – and dedicate it to UC and CSU.”
