  1. Student Regent University of California Budget Presentation Alfredo Mireles, Jr. & Jonathan Stein

  2. Issues to Be Covered • University of California Budget • State Funding for the UC Over Time • UC Fees Over Time • Fees and financial aid vs. peer institutions • Ideas Rejected (or Never Considered) by the Regents • UCOP’s Proposed Multi-Year Solution

  3. The University of California Includes 10 Campuses, 5 Academic Medical Centers and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory • Established in 1868 and Governed by a 26-member constitutionally autonomous Board of Regents • Educates over 230,000 full-time students in FY 2009-10 and has conferred approximately 1.9 million degrees • Student Regents are your representatives and voice on the Board of Regents

  4. Long-Term Fiscal Future of the UC

  5. What Is Driving Our Costs?

  6. Internal Solutions = $1B. What’s Left?

  7. California State Budget

  8. Long-Term Divestment from UC

  9. California Has Chosen Other Priorities Percentage of the State Budget Over 25 Years: Corrections vs. the UC

  10. What Does All This Mean for Students? Higher Fees.

  11. UC Tuition vs. Peer Institutions

  12. Net Tuition and Fees, 2010-11 UC Financial Aid vs. Peer Institutions

  13. Pell Grant Recipients UC 2008-09, 2009-10, 2010-11 & Select Universities 2008-09 UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC Davis, and UC San Diego each educate more Pell Grant recipients every year than the entire Ivy League combined.

  14. What Solutions Have the Regents Considered? We need to find $1.4 billion dollars… REDUCE QUALITY REDUCE ACCESS REDUCE AFFORDABILITY

  15. What Solutions Have the Regents Considered? (Part 1) 1. REDUCE QUALITY Increase student-faculty ratio. Moving from 21:1 ratio to 23:1 ratio eliminates 870 faculty and saves $100 million. Rejected. Increase proportion of non-tenure track faculty. Replacing 1,100 faculty with instructors saves $100 million. Rejected. Reduce staff and services. Firing 1,280 staff saves $100 million. Rejected.

  16. What Solutions Have the Regents Considered? (Part 2) 2. REDUCE ACCESS Reduce California enrollment. Reduces cost, but also reduces revenue gained through tuition. Rejected. Increase non-California enrollment. Out-of-state students generate huge revenue that subsidizes in-state students. 7,700 new non-Californians means $100 million new revenue. Being implemented @ UC Berkeley and elsewhere.

  17. What Solutions Have the Regents Considered? (Part 3) 3. REDUCE AFFORDABILITY Reduce return-to-aid a/k/a reduce financial aid. 11% reduction in financial aid nets $100 million. Rejected. Differential fees – Rejected. By campus By department or major Raise tuition. Every 6.4% increase nets $100 million. Being implemented. (Obviously.)

  18. UCOP’s Proposed Multi-Year Plan

  19. What Is the Price Tag for Students?

  20. What Was the Regents Reaction? Some Regents rejected UCOP’s proposed plan at the September Regents meeting. Too many Regents uncomfortable with raising fees again and again. Regents searched for an alternative: Massive private / corporate fundraising plan Single-issue ballot initiative? No firm answers

  21. UC’s Status Going Forward? UNCLEAR. Are we at a stage where we either critically reduce the quality of the UC or we raise fees to previously unimaginable levels? In the absence of a new funding source or massive state reinvestment (both unlikely) the answer may be….. yes. SO WHAT ARE STUDENTS GOING TO DO ABOUT IT? HOW CAN WE CHANGE THINGS?
