"The policy is very clear: Nonresident students will be in addition to and not in place of California residents," Klein said. The proportion of nonresident students at the other campuses ranges from 18.9% at UC Irvine to less than 1% at UC Merced. It’s close, but it falls a little short.”The state’s declining support led UC to quadruple its nonresident undergraduate population between 2007 and 2016. The Westwood campus tripled its nonresident undergraduates while reducing its California students by 4% between 2008 and 2015. “We could not have managed these graduation rates without having the additional resources.”Block and others stressed, however, that nonresident students are not simply cash cows.
