University of California regents will not vote on a tuition increase next month, shelving the plan for now in hopes that state lawmakers will come through with more funding. But unlike Cal State, UC officials have not taken a tuition increase off the table entirely. In January, UC regents delayed action until May on a proposal to increase tuition by $342, which would bring state residents’ costs to $12,972 for 2018-19. Palmer, the state finance department spokesman, said Brown has not decided whether to increase money for UC and Cal State in his revised budget in May. In recent months, UC students have swarmed Sacramento to plead for more state funding at budget hearings and in individual meetings.
