UC Berkeley's estimated tuition & fees are $16.5K for 2024-25 vs. UCLA's $15.1K, so Cal is charging 9% more than southern branch for the class that will enroll this coming fall. That seems like a fairly material discrepancy for the cost of a UC education at the 2 most prestigious UC campuses.

Then I looked at UCSD and its tuition and fees are $18.5K, so UCSD is charging its undergrads 12% more than Cal and 22% more than UCLA.

I understand that campus fees differ from school to school, but surprised it's by this much. I'm curious what drives the differences in campus-specific fees.

Don't some of the other UC's charge their students athletics fees to cover IA costs?

I mean the universities run independently from each other. It's pretty understandable that they would have different expenses, financial positions, and funding philosophies.

Totally agree, as the 10 campuses are all run as their own separate entities.

I guess I just expected the overall tuition and fees to be more closely aligned across the campuses. I mean a 22% difference between UCSD and UCLA is pretty large, even if we're only talking $3K more in annual tuition + campus fee in absolute dollars.

They all run independently -- hmm so is there any real justification for Calimony? Has the topic just been blown over - doesn't seem like the regents care anymore.

Do Cal and UCLA need to share their media revenues with UC Davis, UC San Diego, et al?

No - but that's my point, why does UCLA need to share with Cal?

Because UCLAs action hurt Cal?

No, it is real likely there will be Calimony. The rationale is due to UCLA's actions (for which the Regents and Governor think they should have asked permission) adversely impacting Cal.
