state budget and Cal
Posted by deneb7 on October 13, 2010
I just received this in my email… Does this mean no more tuition hikes? 
Dear Cal Advocate:
Thank you for contacting your legislators in Sacramento and standing up for UC Berkeley! A state budget has been passed that increases funding for the University of California by more than $370 million. While the amount approved still falls short of fully funding the University, the increase marks a significant shift from the cuts the University has faced over the last two years.
You played a major role in getting us to this point. Advocates like you from across the UC system sent more than 34,000 emails to Sacramento over the course of this year, emphasizing the importance of continued investment in public higher education. The legislature and the governor deserve our appreciation for making public higher education a priority.
Send your elected officials a thank you note today »
Together we can help ensure a bright future for UC Berkeley.
Sincerely,
R. Tucker Coop ’67
Executive Director, Cal Alumni Association
