The University of California (UC) will decide on July 22 whether to raise tuition, despite recently receiving nearly $1.3 billion in state funding.

“I firmly believe keeping tuition stable within our public university system is critical, and do not support a tuition increase at this time,” Sen. Toni Atkins (D-San Diego) told The Epoch Times. “Families have been struggling during the pandemic, and this year has been difficult enough for so many Californians.”
