CALIFORNIA: TUITION AND IMMIGRANTS
From the New York Times
University of California regents raised tuition for out-of-state and foreign students on Thursday over objections that the increase might conflict with a policy that gives some illegal immigrants an in-state tuition break. This fall, nonresident students will pay more than $16,000 annually in tuition and fees, an increase of about 16 percent for undergraduates and 4 percent for graduate students. State residents do not pay tuition. Some regents questioned the increase in light of the board's January vote to exempt some illegal immigrants from paying the out-of-state rate. (AP)
