regent

The University of California board of regents voted Wednesday to renew a “tuition stability” that will hike tuition by up to 5% for each new incoming class.

Not only did the University of California regents rebuff the stadium bid, they also decreed that no structure built on the Drake Stadium footprint could later be enlarged into a football stadium.

Confronting increasing costs and decreasing state and federal funding, the University of California regents on Wednesday approved a tuition hike lauded by UC leaders but fiercely opposed by students.

At a regents’ meeting that month when the group was presented with the information, board members indicated they were open to renewing the plan but wanted to see less drastic changes.

But Michigan regents, who are elected statewide and serve for eight years, say they and other Big Ten boards should be more involved in these sorts of major decisions.
