Some on the Left Coast are miffed at the University of California-Berkeleyâ??s plan to start admitting additional out-of-state residents and international students — who pay higher tuition than the in-state students — to make up for state budget cuts.
UC Berkeley Chancellor Robert Birgeneau told the San Francisco Chronicle that his campus will be admitting as many as 600 fewer “unfunded” California students a year to offset a 20 percent cut in state funds. Those openings then will go to out-of-staters.
….Closer to home, nearly a quarter of all undergraduates on the UW-Madison campus already are paying out-of-state tuition.
