.Cal Looks to Out-of-State Students for Cash

In order to raise much-needed cash, UC Berkeley plans to accept hundreds of additional out-of-state students next fall, while slashing the number of California residents it enrolls. According to the Chron, Cal is making the move because of massive state budget cuts. But critics contend that UC Berkeley should stop blaming the state government for its problems and should quit handing out so many large salaries and over-the-top bonuses to administrators. In addition, the UC system is planning a huge — 32 percent — increase in fees for California students over the next ten months.
