SERRF COURTESY PHOTO Antelope students share garden's bounty By Lisa Leff TheAssociatedPress SAN FRANCISCO TheUni- versity of California voted Thursday to approve tu- ition increases of as much as 5 percent in each of the next five years unless the state devotes more money to the 10-campus system. The Board of Regents adopted the increases proposed by UC President Janet Napolitano with a 14-7 vote. Members had to shout their votes over stu- dents chanting "Hey, hey, ho, tuition hikes have got to go." Demonstrators said they were angry not only about the tuition hikes but also because the outcome seemed certain even be- fore the proposal could be debated. "Seeing you all come in laughing and smiling and talking about stuff made me sick to my stomach," UC Davis student Amelia Itnyre, 23, told the board through tears before the vote. "Students, we aren't just angry, we are sad. You should be crying, you should be praying, you should be figuring out what you are going to do to fix this." The increases were op- posed by Gov. Jerry Brown and legislative leaders who decide how much funding the university gets each year. Napolitano says the amount the governor has budgeted is inadequate to maintain the quality of the nation's largest public uni- versity system. Brown says UC needs to come up with a more frugal way of doing business. Tuition rates have been frozen for three years. Napolitano and other UC officials say the pend- ing hikes could be reduced or eliminated if the gover- nor and Legislature boost the university's budget be- yond what is now planned. None of the board members commented on the proposal before the vote. The no votes were cast by Brown, Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, Assem- bly Speaker Toni Atkins, Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlak- son, Student Regent Sa- dia Saifuddin and two re- gents appointed by Brown this week — outgoing As- sembly Speaker John Perez and Long Beach City Col- lege President Eloy Oakley. After the meeting, Perez said he thinks the proposal was a politically unsavvy and "cynical" move by Na- politano that was more likely to alienate elected officials from the univer- sity's cause than pressure them into boosting the sys- tem's budget. In anticipation of the vote, dozens of students slept inside a classroom building at the University of California, Berkeley. The vote came a day after stu- dents tried to stop a meet- ing where a board com- mittee gave preliminary approval to the proposal. Tuition has risen more rapidly at other public universities in the nation in recent years, and even with the increases, the cost of an education in the Cal- ifornia system will still be cheaper than many others in the nation. Saifuddin told the panel Wednesday that the dem- onstrators' tactics might be "unsavory to you all," but the anger and fear stu- dents are feeling should not be disregarded. "This is not just $612 more a year. This is rent. This is another job they need to get. This is food they cannot buy," Saifud- din said. "Let's get real about the situation. Stu- dents have always had to pay the price for financial mismanagement by the board and the state." Napolitano, former U.S. Homeland Security secre- tary and governor of Ari- zona, clashed with Brown on Wednesday when she insisted the system is un- derfunded, and she bris- tled at her fellow Demo- crat's suggestion that the university needs to come up with a more frugal way of doing business. Before that vote, the governor said he wants to create a task force to look into ways to make the UC budget go further by ed- ucating more students in less time, such as offering more online classes and making it easier for com- munity college students who transfer to a UC cam- pus to complete their de- grees. "I don't think you con- sidered all the alterna- tives," he said.
