If the UCSA is still as left-leaning as I remember it once was, it seems interesting that they have not figured out that UC financial aid policy is very friendly to lower and middle income California residents, and that UC list price tuition increases would be mainly or solely borne by the highest income families (the ones that typical left-leaning people would want to “tax”).
Then again, perhaps it is now populated by scions of wealth whose families would be the ones paying the added tuition.
