<p>“However, one has to wonder about the financial habits of a household with an income of $180,000 but only $40,000 in cash and investments”</p>
<p>How about a household with that income for say, two years, and still paying their own student loans? How about four years, or six? Is that unusual? I seem to know a disproportianate number of those families, but this is a military town.</p>
<p>This article is from 2009 (during the last major round of tuition increases). It addresses the trend in tuition hikes in the UC system and how the money has been/is being used since 2004. I would be interested to know what the current round of tuition increases is actually buying for the students, rich or not.</p>

<p>Instead of worrying about price-demand by major, UC should start with differential prices by campus. Want to attend Cal & UCLA – pay more. Many other states charge more for their state flagship than they do for ‘regional’ campuses.</p>
<p>Of course, that might mean that UC would have to pay students to attend Merced. . :rolleyes:</p>
<p>^ Well, the regents scholarships at other schools actually help (unlike the $1k given out here) so they kinda do pay some people to go there haha. Some of the other UCs are cheaper (not by much) - last year, I believe Merced was by like $6k, Davis/Irvine/San Diego were by ~$4k.</p>
<p>lol because the wealthy kids dont care. the parents pay for the tuition. </p>
<p>and im sure others just dont care about protesting…</p>
<p>Because I had several important exams last week.</p>
<p>Not that I’m protesting for any reasons of personal gain either way, though.</p>
<p>Because I’m too busy trying to become successful to protest.</p>
