""These numbers reflect California's commitment to academic excellence, access, and innovation, values that have made the University of California the world's greatest research university," said UC president James B. Milliken. "The value of a UC degree is abundantly clear. An investment in UC is the best investment in the future of our students, California's workforce, and the state's economy.""
""The University of California system reached record enrollment this fall, surpassing 301,000 students across its 10 campuses. About 200,000 of them come from California; the share of students who come from outside the state has decreased by two percentage points over the past four years.""
""The release noted that this enrollment success comes at a time when UC campuses are facing increased costs, federal funding cuts and other financial hardships. Four hundred federal research grants remain suspended or terminated across the system.""
The University of California system enrolled more than 301,000 students this fall across its ten campuses, a new record. Approximately 200,000 students are California residents, and the share of nonresident students has fallen two percentage points over four years. The decline in out-of-state enrollment reflects a prioritization of serving California residents. UC leadership emphasizes the economic and workforce value of UC degrees and frames investment in UC as an investment in the state's future. Campuses are experiencing increased operating costs, federal funding reductions, and other financial strains. Four hundred federal research grants remain suspended or terminated across the system.
