Major Program Changes
  • The Budget reflects continuation of the proposed Special Session unallocated reduction of $65.5 million to the University of California (UC) General Fund support budget.

  • The Budget avoids new costs by eliminating the 5 percent increase for basic budget and core instructional support and the increase for 2.5 percent enrollment growth under the Higher Education Compact as part of the proposed solutions to address the fiscal crisis.

  • The Budget reflects an increase in fee revenue of $166.1 million associated with an increase of 9.3 percent in mandatory systemwide fees, and fee increases ranging from 5 percent to 24 percent for specified professional school programs.

  • Finally, the Budget provides $1.1 million to UC to fund 50 new undergraduate nursing and 42 new master's level nursing enrollments at full cost. In addition, UC will receive an increase of $1.5 million to enroll an additional 57 medical students at full cost in its Programs in Medical Education (PRIME).
