A new proposal suggests allowing University of California campuses to govern themselves, including the ability for each of the 10 campuses to set tuition costs.

UC Berkeley’s Center for Studies in Higher Education released the proposal on Monday, saying the structure of the university system has gotten so complex that it has inadvertently resulted in lost opportunities for the campuses.

The Los Angeles Times ( [Local governance urged for UC campuses - latimes.com](http://lat.ms/JuaVM7)) says the plan would maintain the central Board of Regents for policy matters, such as admissions standards, state funding and negotiating union contracts.

But each campus would set their own tuition, decide the number of out-of-state students allowed, approve construction projects and control some investments.
