Massive protests planned for UC fee hike vote
Story posted 2010.11.17 at 06:16 AM PST
UC campus police are already preparing for what's expected to be a massive day of protests as regents prepare for a vote that could make going to a UC school a lot more expensive.
UC regents will be considering an 8 percent fee hike. That would amount to $822 per year on top of last year's 32 percent increase.
UC regents are also considering changing retirement benefits. Under the plan, UC workers would only be eligible to receive 100 percent of their benefits at the age of 65. The current age for retirement is 60.
Students will hold a news conference at 7:30 a.m. and a march is scheduled for 11 a.m.
