To add UC students, increase funding!

A new opinion piece from Yes to Higher Ed co-chairs Dick Ackerman and Mel Levine ran in The Sacramento Bee on June 7, 2016.  Here’s an excerpt:

There is a strong consensus that more eligible in-state students should be admitted to the University of California campus of their choice.

But some legislators have the wrongheaded idea that the way to accommodate more deserving Californians is to exclude out-of-state students, and they have pushed this notion into the budget process instead of restoring the state funding needed to increase UC enrollment.
