The UC may see its third year with no tuition hike, pending the approval of a preliminary budget for 2014-2015 that the UC Board of Regents will discuss next week.

The UC Board of Regents appointed UC Berkeley senior Sadia Saifuddin as student regent-designate at its meeting Wednesday, despite some controversy over her selection.

A UC Board of Regents special committee has nominated Sadia Saifuddin, an Independent ASUC senator, as UC student regent for the 2014-15 term.

The budget calls for a four-year tuition freeze for all students except those in professional schools, and discontinuation of a proposed unit cap ons state-subsidized coures, which could have affected 2,200 UC students in the next school year.

Increasing undergraduate nonresident enrollment at UC Berkeley may decrease campus racial and socioeconomic diversity, according to research released this month.

UC Berkeley maintained the ethnic composition of its freshman admits and has accepted fewer in-state students this year while increasing nonresident acceptance rates, according to data released by the UC Office of the President Thursday.

A special committee of the UC Board of Regents met Tuesday to begin the process of selecting a successor to UC President Mark Yudof.

A California state senator proposed legislation that would require at least one polling site on every University of California and California State University campus, Tuesday.
