Sacramento, CA – Today, Assemblymember Jim Frazier (D-Oakley) made the following statement regarding the UC proposal to increase tuition:
“I am troubled by the recent proposal of the University of California Board of Regents to raise tuition on Californian students and families. I stand with our students and Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins to find a better way to fund our UC system than putting the burden on the backs of students. This is an opportunity where we can work together to ensure that we continue to provide an affordable world-class education.”
