UC may charge based on major - Local - The Modesto Bee:
"LOS ANGELES -- At the UCLA studio of the American Society of Civil Engineers, undergraduates are engaged in such extracurricular projects as designing and constructing a 20-foot concrete canoe to race against other California college teams.
But the young engineers face a potentially tougher challenge as University of California leaders consider a plan to charge these students more for their undergraduate education than most others at the university.
As part of a plan to plug the UC's battered budget, the regents might vote as early as next month on the tradition-breaking proposal to require engineering undergraduates, along with those studying business, to pay $900 more a year than the rest of the student body. That would be in addition to the $2,514 systemwide fee increase that all students figure to see by next fall."
