That's a good point. CA spends less out of its general fund per student in real dollars than in the 80s. I think "other" accounts for more UC $s than either gen

That's a good point. CA spends less out of its general fund per student in real dollars than in the 80s. I think "other" accounts for more UC $s than either general funds or tuition/fees. The UC's spending tracks the CA economy pretty closely. CA's "world-class prisons", on the other hand, just keep getting more money in good times & in bad.
