U of California Plans to Admit More In-State Students

Janet Napolitano, president of the University of California system, said Wednesday that she will soon release a plan to significantly increase the number of California residents admitted to UC campuses, The Los Angeles Times reported. Legislators have been urging her to move in that direction and even have offered financial incentives to the system to do so. While Napolitano did not offer details of her plan, she stressed that it would have an impact on all system campuses, including those at Berkeley and Los Angeles, which are particularly challenging for applicants.
