Students React To Gov. Schwarzenegger's Proposal
UC-San Diego Guardian has students reacting to Gov. Schwarzenegger's plan: "If the proposal is approved by the state legislature, student fees would be raised 10 percent for undergraduates, 40 percent for graduate students and and additional 20 percent for non-residents.

MORE: The system may soon be enrolling fewer undergraduates, and spending less on faculty.
The UCSD Guardian editorial rightly points out that the proposal is "bad news" for UC.

The budget's impact on low-income students: "Currently, 33 percent of student fees are returned to financial aid, but the proposal would reduce that number to 20 percent. University officials are concerned that the proposal could threaten students' ability to pay the full cost of tuition and campus-based miscellaneous fees..."
