How does UC get more dough?

Simple - just increase the number of out-of-state students who will have to shell out more for tuition. Of the 37,151 UC freshman expected to enroll this fall, 8.2 percent will be from outside California, up from 6 percent the prior year. Berkeley and UCLA will have the largest proportion of the non-California students (Berkeley is doubling its percentage of nonresident freshmen). From the LAT:

California students and families have expressed concerns that some in-state students are being squeezed out as UC's nine undergraduate campuses pursue the additional $22,000 that a non-Californian must pay on top of regular UC fees. But UC officials contend that the university is accepting as many Californians as state financing will allow and that the additional funds from out-of-state students will help to subsidize classes and campus services for Californians.
