Yudof Seeks More Federal Aid for Public Universities - The Daily Californian:

"Amid dwindling state funds and proposed student fee increases, UC President Mark Yudof is calling for an increase in federal support for public higher education.

In a proposal released last week, Yudof outlined ideas for an 'integrated national strategy' that would increase federal funding for public universities across the nation, suggesting a $2.5 billion federal investment in universities' operations and an additional $3 billion for graduate programs."
