o well... 30 years from now... we r gonna be all stupid again :D since the world is turning to a world where education is a work force... it will just die :)
That's why CSUs provide a much better bang for the buck. The price is half of what UC students pay. You might as well be going to a private college if you go to a UC.
I was undecided between transferring to SDSU and UCSD, but I think I've made up my mind now.
UCB Chancellor Birgeneau Loss of Credibility, Trust. The UCB budget gap has grown to $150 million, and still the Chancellor is spending money that isn't there on expensive ($3 million) consultants.The Chancellor had to hire consultants to engage his Faculty, Staff and the UCB Academic Senate. Successful leaders do not need people from outside their org. to engage their Staff, Faculty. The Chancellor is not doing his job. Instead he is spending $3 mil to do his job. Contact Sacramento.
Excellent video. They will raise tuition and then give themselves a raise, watch they will do this say that they saved the system millions so tey deserve the raise.
yes the system needs the money but not for raises to the administrators. they need it for grants, loans, new equipment, lower tuition, new buildings, more full time teachers and a pay raise for the teachers, not the administrators
Obviously there are no ways for me to know but what I was saying is that I don't think the raise in tuition will go to the administrators but instead to the things you listed.
It's unbelievable that this country still does not get it. Education should be a right, not a privilege. If the government thinks that as a country they can not support education, what are they supporting, ignorance?
It seems to me that ignorance is way more expensive.... Aren't we paying for that mistake already? In the meantime we; parents and students will be facing the effects on this increase... Effective December 18th!!!.
@fernanp it's not unbelievable, it's simply the product of capitalism. Anti-socialist politicians and the rich are dominating this country's economics and politics. Why not socialism? because Americans F***ing hate communist.
@mrhope1235 What are you talking about, do you know how many hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants are getting checks cut for them EVERY SEMESTER to attend colleges and universities around the State of California? LEGAL STUDENTS are footing the bill to pay for the tuition of others.
I like this video! It's really well made and I can't agree more with it.
To all those ranters at the bottom, there's definitely something wrong with them. Public education is public education for a reason - to be affordable.

Yeah Right. Dorks come out of universities. Total Rip Offs. Universities make donkeys. Nothing Much. It's just a freaking business. Ripping off poor people out of there money.
okay....this video doesnt make sense. priceless has a positive connotation and 'there're some things money can't buy' doesnt go with a rise in tuition bc money is exactly what u need in such a situtation. i see what they were trying to do though but FAIL.

Dear @Nickelodeon2002: UC Professors, staff, graduate students, Adjuncts ACCEPTED AND TOOK pay cuts & furloughs. PLEASE do your homework before you PONTIFICATE. You're entitled to your own opinion, not your own reality.
As far your neo-randyan vision of the world, CELEBRATE. The UC system, once the top public university system in the country is being PRIVATIZED. Saludos!
Thanks for the information, I can't really believe it's being privatized, but let's say you are accurate. If that's the case, why is tuition being hiked if the cuts the Berkley Staff is taking are significant? The free market is going to eventually determine what tuition should be....that's a good thing. What's not a good thing is the UC customers(students) protesting on campus. In the real world, when customers protest they usually don't do it too long until they find a better firm to pay for.
You continue to put forth your ideological constructs independent of facts. Again, DO YOUR HOMEWORK. I'm not making stuff up. See for yourself. Try the GOOGLE. I cannot educate you and debate you at the same time. It's twice the work for me.
Chill out man, I just granted you the privatization issue. It doesn't change the fact UC's customers are pissed. It can't function long like that or everyone's gonna bolt. Just because I lacked understanding in one small area it doesn't invalidate the rest of what I'm saying.
I did just read that UC is being privatized, again-thank you for the information/education. Athough I read one campus is still receiving about 6% state funds and I'll assume it's in that area for most of the campuses...still better that what it was I'm sure. Unfortunately for the UC Staff...it looks like their customers are in revolt and it may be time for them to re-evaluate before losing them all.
The customers are in complete unity with Staff and Faculty. UC Regents (CEO's in your parlance) are the ones who need to change. Their salaries and byzantine policies such as one-sided fee increases to "customers" & cuts to labor) are in line with Wall Street privateers. That's objective turth. Not opinion. Watch the national news. All students that have been interviewed are unanimous on this throught the UC campuses.
If you want me to chill out, start making some sense por favor!
I'm going to set aside your jackass attitude for a moment to address one patently obvious mis-statement. "The customers are in complete unity.." etc. etc. How far do you have to look to see this is completely false? Do a simple search on "UC riots" to enjoy a host of student protestations saying otherwise. You may think their anger is directed toward only the Regents, but you are wrong.They are upset over the cost of tuition-nothing more or less. I'll bet like most other companies that Regent...
pay amounts to a small fraction of the cost of running a UC campus. In fact I just looked up the total cost of your 26 Regents is just under
$11 million. The UC system has a Fall 2008 enrollment of over 211,000 students. Simple math makes that about $52/student for the "Regent" class. LMAO what a weak ass argument you make. I may have lacked some understanding in regard to UC's privatization but at least I've got a basic conceptual understanding of finance and economics.
The reality is that a savings of between $2000-$2500 a semester(the tuition hike varies by campus i see) is only going to come out of the hide of staff....naturally the biggest expense of the campus. You can't get rid of bricks & mortar and their associated cost (by the UC model anyway...internet college is gonna hurt the UC model even more) so there is no place else to cut. Unless of course the UC admins think they can squeeze the student like proverbial turnips...but we'll have to see on that.
They might think they have...but they real impact won't be know right away until enrollment figures are in after the hike. That doesn't also account for future lost revenue to potential students that either don't want to graduate with a ton of debt...or can't get loans in the first place.
One of the biggest things that irks me about californian scholarships are students that ride them with a 2.0-2.99 gpa. I have many friends who attend UCs and have their way payed for by the government, and what do they do? piss away the money by partying and failing their classes.
In states, they take away all your scholarships if gpa falls under 3.0. Change will happen in california in scholarships, healthcare, and unnecessary social programs. It's not the UC's Fault- its the states fault.
I dunno~ i think i like sarcastic videos better, but yeah, not many people get sarcasm xD
Anyways, this is straight-forward so everyone can get the message.
Well... frankly... that extra $2000 really wouldn't make college unaffordable... yea... financial aid...
But i think this is more important to international student because they will have to pay as much as going to a private universities, which rarely have any problems registering for classes. Relatively, they don't get what they paid for.
I love this video... but really what is there that students like ourselves can do to stop this... If you know, please let me know because I don't know. It seems all we can do is bring awareness. I mean to me that just means that instead of just us UC students knowing we're struggling financially, a few 100 million more people know and are watching us suffer... What good does that do...? I wish there was something rock solid we could do to stop this...
Education its my armor against those that try to oppress and marginalize me. Without it i feel powerless. I hope that there wont come a time that people of color and other disadvantaged communities will just be a part of the past of higher education... a dying species, slowly going extinct.
I feel for ppl at the cal states, but i think this video's purpose was not to seek pity for UC students, rather to raise awareness on the issue any institution of higher education is or will be facing.
Wow, the video is really good. It gets the point straight across, that students can't afford tuition hikes. Education should be priceless, not paying for college. There are also tuition hikes in NY, probably many other states, and student protests among them. $1929 is a lot... I hope these protesters can raise awareness to bring about change.
I don't want to seem mean or anything, but I have to say that I kind of find it hard to feel that bad for the UC campuses, only because they get way more funding than us CAL States. They get way more sections for the same amount of students we have, and way more professors. As it is we cut not only classes, professors, and basically zero research funding, we have furloughs and tuition increases. One last thing, we have very few donors.
Again, I don't want to come off as arrogant or ill-considerate, because I believe that UC's really do have a right to protest, but I think they should consider that there are schools in way more turmoil than they are. We of the CSU system are basically hanging on a thread for keeping our campuses open. And as a student at CSUN, I can tell you that I'm pretty much not even guaranteed any of my classes for my next semester. Why? No funding. Bad time for me to be a double major.
then DO something about it! organize a movement at your CSU! don't be discouraged if you see that no one supports your cause- believe me if you lead people will follow.
True, however, it's not really discouragement. I was simply suggesting that there are others that are doing worse, but it's still manageable. But again, I still agree with the UC message. I would be pissed off too if i was going to have a 32% increase in tuition. I'm just grateful that our dumb-ass for a governor hasn't suggested that... well, yet.
Personally, I think that even though UCs seem to be getting all the attention for the protest, it's just the beginning. When we protest about the hikes, we're not just focusing on ourselves; we're fighting for all the other schools out there in California. In a way, we're just a role model.
Very true. And I agree, you guys are the biggest role model, but sometimes, it can lead to even worse consequences is what I'm sort of suggesting. I'm not implying that, yes, this will happen, but we must always consider that it can potentially worsen for either one group, or all of us. Either way, we're all in the same boat, almost. All I know, I'm jumping ship before this worsens. That was my plan from freshman year, but now it not an option. Transfer apps here I go.
I wish you guys the best of luck, and hopefully, our situation will improve within the next semesters. This is really getting ridiculous! We're supposed to be producing graduates!
To get an education: read lots of non-fiction books, good # fiction, have several close relationships- Schools are mostly hoop jumping enroute to "credentials". You learn more in the dorms.
*sniff* Maybe it's the background music, but this video is really powerful for me.. Even though I recently graduated from college, many of my friends are still in school and are really feeling the pinch. My heart and my support goes out to all of you!
i love this video!,
love this music, actors, screenplays,and message!
what a great work!

Unfortunately for the UC Staff...it looks like their customers are in revolt and it may be time for them to re-evaluate before losing them all.

The customers are in complete unity with Staff and Faculty. UC Regents (CEO's in your parlance) are the ones who need to change. Their salaries and byzantine policies such as one-sided fee increases to "customers" & cuts to labor) are in line with Wall Street privateers. That's objective turth. Not opinion. Watch the national news. All students that have been interviewed are unanimous on this throught the UC campuses.
If you want me to chill out, start making some sense por favor!

I'm going to set aside your jackass attitude for a moment to address one patently obvious mis-statement. "The customers are in complete unity.." etc. etc. How far do you have to look to see this is completely false? Do a simple search on "UC riots" to enjoy a host of student protestations saying otherwise. You may think their anger is directed toward only the Regents, but you are wrong.They are upset over the cost of tuition-nothing more or less. I'll bet like most other companies that Regent...
Nickelodeon2002 2 years ago
pay amounts to a small fraction of the cost of running a UC campus. In fact I just looked up the total cost of your 26 Regents is just under
$11 million. The UC system has a Fall 2008 enrollment of over 211,000 students. Simple math makes that about $52/student for the "Regent" class. LMAO what a weak ass argument you make. I may have lacked some understanding in regard to UC's privatization but at least I've got a basic conceptual understanding of finance and economics.
Nickelodeon2002 2 years ago
The reality is that a savings of between $2000-$2500 a semester(the tuition hike varies by campus i see) is only going to come out of the hide of staff....naturally the biggest expense of the campus. You can't get rid of bricks & mortar and their associated cost (by the UC model anyway...internet college is gonna hurt the UC model even more) so there is no place else to cut. Unless of course the UC admins think they can squeeze the student like proverbial turnips...but we'll have to see on that.
Nickelodeon2002 2 years ago
Uh--they already have?
I don't think the faculty at the UCs are unionized.
professorbutters 2 years ago
They might think they have...but they real impact won't be know right away until enrollment figures are in after the hike. That doesn't also account for future lost revenue to potential students that either don't want to graduate with a ton of debt...or can't get loans in the first place.

One of the biggest things that irks me about californian scholarships are students that ride them with a 2.0-2.99 gpa. I have many friends who attend UCs and have their way payed for by the government, and what do they do? piss away the money by partying and failing their classes.
In states, they take away all your scholarships if gpa falls under 3.0. Change will happen in california in scholarships, healthcare, and unnecessary social programs. It's not the UC's Fault- its the states fault.
jsk3788 2 years ago
Some states keep track on what you pay. They ask for everything. If things does not add up or whatever they cut your scholarship.

I dunno~ i think i like sarcastic videos better, but yeah, not many people get sarcasm xD
Anyways, this is straight-forward so everyone can get the message.
Well... frankly... that extra $2000 really wouldn't make college unaffordable... yea... financial aid...
But i think this is more important to international student because they will have to pay as much as going to a private universities, which rarely have any problems registering for classes. Relatively, they don't get what they paid for.
luisme719 2 years ago
I love this video... but really what is there that students like ourselves can do to stop this... If you know, please let me know because I don't know. It seems all we can do is bring awareness. I mean to me that just means that instead of just us UC students knowing we're struggling financially, a few 100 million more people know and are watching us suffer... What good does that do...? I wish there was something rock solid we could do to stop this...

Education its my armor against those that try to oppress and marginalize me. Without it i feel powerless. I hope that there wont come a time that people of color and other disadvantaged communities will just be a part of the past of higher education... a dying species, slowly going extinct.
I feel for ppl at the cal states, but i think this video's purpose was not to seek pity for UC students, rather to raise awareness on the issue any institution of higher education is or will be facing.
BoyJohnnyBoy 2 years ago
Wow, the video is really good. It gets the point straight across, that students can't afford tuition hikes. Education should be priceless, not paying for college. There are also tuition hikes in NY, probably many other states, and student protests among them. $1929 is a lot... I hope these protesters can raise awareness to bring about change.
prodigysadia 2 years ago
Nice vid, did you do everything yourself?
I agree with your statement 100%.
Education should be available to all.
LBxBUTLER 2 years ago
I have to say that it was well done.
I don't want to seem mean or anything, but I have to say that I kind of find it hard to feel that bad for the UC campuses, only because they get way more funding than us CAL States. They get way more sections for the same amount of students we have, and way more professors. As it is we cut not only classes, professors, and basically zero research funding, we have furloughs and tuition increases. One last thing, we have very few donors.
JDBMW1 2 years ago
Again, I don't want to come off as arrogant or ill-considerate, because I believe that UC's really do have a right to protest, but I think they should consider that there are schools in way more turmoil than they are. We of the CSU system are basically hanging on a thread for keeping our campuses open. And as a student at CSUN, I can tell you that I'm pretty much not even guaranteed any of my classes for my next semester. Why? No funding. Bad time for me to be a double major.
JDBMW1 2 years ago
then DO something about it! organize a movement at your CSU! don't be discouraged if you see that no one supports your cause- believe me if you lead people will follow.
inyoface253 2 years ago 3
True, however, it's not really discouragement. I was simply suggesting that there are others that are doing worse, but it's still manageable. But again, I still agree with the UC message. I would be pissed off too if i was going to have a 32% increase in tuition. I'm just grateful that our dumb-ass for a governor hasn't suggested that... well, yet.
JDBMW1 2 years ago
Personally, I think that even though UCs seem to be getting all the attention for the protest, it's just the beginning. When we protest about the hikes, we're not just focusing on ourselves; we're fighting for all the other schools out there in California. In a way, we're just a role model.
Aznmiy 2 years ago
Very true. And I agree, you guys are the biggest role model, but sometimes, it can lead to even worse consequences is what I'm sort of suggesting. I'm not implying that, yes, this will happen, but we must always consider that it can potentially worsen for either one group, or all of us. Either way, we're all in the same boat, almost. All I know, I'm jumping ship before this worsens. That was my plan from freshman year, but now it not an option. Transfer apps here I go.
JDBMW1 2 years ago
I wish you guys the best of luck, and hopefully, our situation will improve within the next semesters. This is really getting ridiculous! We're supposed to be producing graduates!

Incredible. I'm a 3rd year transfer from a working class poor neighborhood. Were it not for fin aid I wouldn't be able to afford the increase either.
For those not affected by the fee increase no doubt they've encountered the difficulty finding open classes.

To get an education: read lots of non-fiction books, good # fiction, have several close relationships- Schools are mostly hoop jumping enroute to "credentials". You learn more in the dorms.
