...regents of the University of California groped their way toward a temporary resolution of the system's financial crisis in a three-day meeting in Santa Barbara last week. With only Governor Ronald Reagan voicing an audible dissent, the board voted that there will be no imposition of tuition at the university in the 1967-68 school year. Whether there might be a tuition after that will be considered at a regents' meeting next April. The regents also decided that they could live with a hold-the-line budget of $255 million for 1967-68.

Although he had not yet won his fight for tuition, Reagan could point to a theoretical saving for state taxpayers of more than $42 million, at no apparent loss in quality. University officials, however, insist that they will have to limit admissions next year to keep within the budget, which is still a matter of much controversy within the state. Reagan has been roundly denounced for his cost-trimming efforts-most notably by Cartoonist Bill Conrad of the Los Angeles Times (see cuts).

Officials of public universities are overwhelmingly convinced that tuition must be kept low if the schools are to remain accessible to a broad economic spectrum of the population...
...state legislatures and boards of regents, the rising cost of education resolves itself into an immediate question: whether to raise tuition or raise taxes. Underlying the economic issue, however, are a host of so far unanswered questions about the future of higher education in the U.S. What is the relationship of public and private universities? Should the cost of higher education be borne primarily by families of students who benefit most, or should society as a whole bear the burden? Is higher education a privilege or a democratic right? In many ways, the arguments seem much like those...
