The University of California and California State University systems this month are preparing to raise undergraduate tuition by hundreds of dollars each.

Cal State trustees, meanwhile, this week will vote on two tuition hikes -- 5 percent, or $105, for the second half of the current school year and 10 percent on top of the new fee, or $440, this coming fall. Cal State tuition will cost $4,884 in fall 2011 if both increases are approved by trustees Wednesday. The proposed UC increase was announced Monday by President Mark Yudof, who also unveiled corresponding improvements to financial aid that will cover the higher costs for more than half of the system's 181,000 undergraduates. In addition, students from families with incomes from $80,000 to $120,000 will not pay the higher prices until fall 2012. University regents will consider the changes, which will affect 45 percent of the student body, at next week's meeting in San Francisco. (more…)
