UC to consider limiting out-of-state enrollment

Five years ago, the University of California system made a concerted effort to boost revenue through recruiting more out-of-state students, which resulted in approximately $400 million just last year.

Despite the lucrative results, UC officials are now considering turning back on the original strategy after an onslaught of criticisms from California parents who are convinced that the program is hurting their children’s admission chances.

According to a UCLA report, its incoming 2014-2015 freshman class includes 20% out-of-state students — up from 6% in 2009.

“The university’s job is to educate Californians first, the California taxpayers who pay for it,” State Sen. Jean Fuller (R-Bakersfield) told the L.A. Times.

Although most California residents would agree, the move is not as easy as recalibrating the admissions process.

The UC schools would have to come up with a way to replace the revenue that would be lost in such a dynamic move.

UCLA and UC Berkeley would be hit the hardest because their out-of-state enrollment rates are 30.1% and 29.8% respectively, whereas schools like UC Merced only have a 1.2% out-of-state rates.
