"The deal to increase in-state admissions has cost taxpayers $276 million, allowing around 3,000 more students to enroll at UC Berkeley, UCLA, and UC San Diego."
"The Legislative Analyst's Office now proposes that the state no longer add new resident students in lieu of out-of-state students, citing unnecessary expenses."
In 2022, California legislators and UC officials agreed to increase in-state student admissions at UC Berkeley, UCLA, and UC San Diego by 900 annually. This decision has resulted in a $276 million cost to taxpayers, allowing approximately 3,000 additional students to enroll. The financial burden is significantly higher than the anticipated $31 million annually. With a year remaining in the five-year plan, lawmakers and the Legislative Analyst's Office are questioning the viability of continuing this funding model, especially in light of projected multibillion-dollar deficits in the state budget.
