The University of California and California State University each received increases of 5% in instructional state support - for the second consecutive year. In exchange, the two systems must increase graduation rates, close the differences in graduation rates among racial and ethnic groups, and meet other conditions.
Lawmakers also beefed up support in a key department: housing. The state, after some doubt, continued its program of giving some campuses access to tens of millions of dollars each to build student housing so that low-income students can pay lower rents. State lawmakers also preserved the Cal Grant, California's marquee financial aid tool that covers undergraduate tuition at the UC and Cal State and awards about $1,650 in cash to eligible community college students.
