Governor Jerry Brown and the UC President have agreed to collaborate and discuss the system’s finances. Both Governor Brown and UC President Janet Napolitano are poised to form a committee that will address the university’s financial responsibility, as well as its future in research, employment and enrollment. Their collaboration will be called the Select Advisory Committee on the Cost Structure of the University. The leaders’ decision has been prompted by their disagreement over the UC’s approval of a 5-year plan to increase tuition. Brown and Napolitano plan to hold their first meeting next week.
