Don?t miss the goat event of the season. Those ideas and others could gain traction if vot- ers reject the tax increase measure backed by Cali- fornia Gov. Jerry Brown on the November ballot. UC officials also repeated their warning that if Proposition 30 is defeated, UC will lose $375 million in funding and students probably will face a midyear tuition hike, possibly as much as 20 percent or about $2,400. If the proposition passes, there will be no tuition hike for the 2012-13 school year although a modest one is likely the following year. Regents insisted that they were not trying to scare voters into supporting the tax proposition but that they needed to study some of those options even if the measure passes. No votes were taken Wednesday and no policy changes were adopted immediately. Still, the meeting provided insight into the thinking of many of the regents who control the 10-campus system. "We are simply examining every possibility," said Sherry Lansing, regents chairwoman. "No ideas are off the table." as fine-tuning investment strategies for UC's endow- ments and consolidating lab and highly specialized medical functions at its hospitals. Some proposals were considered easy sells, such But others generated debate, particularly the one about boosting out-of-state students. UC in recent years has enrolled more undergraduates from other states and countries; those students now comprise about 8 percent of undergraduates across the system although the University of California, Los Angeles and the University of California, Berkeley enroll much higher numbers. On the table Wednesday was a proposal to raise the systemwide cap from the current 10 percent to 15 percent or 20 percent. Regent Eddie Island slammed the idea, saying it would weaken public and legislative support for UC and abandon the university's fundamental task. "Our mission is to educate Californians," he said. Island described the out-of-state students, who are charged $23,000 in extra tuition each year, as "low hanging fruit" who are easy to gather. Yet he warned that "this is poisonous fruit." Student Regent Jonathan Stein said he was con- cerned that out-of-staters are less racially diverse than Californians and that adding more of them would reduce the proportions of minorities on cam- pus. However, several regents said that cuts in state funding were forcing UC to enroll more out-of-staters and emphasized that the number of California fresh- men has not been reduced. They also said students from elsewhere make campus life more interesting. 18th STOREWIDE SALE Gold Exchange facebook.com/redbluffgoldexchange Sept. 1st 413 Walnut Street Sierra Sound Car Audio 35th ANNIVERSARY - 15th $ 226 So.
