Between 1971 and 2000, per student revenue increased 23% and 24% for UC and CSU, respectively, while community college revenue rose a mere 4%. colleges.

The report, Financing California’s Community Colleges, concludes that no change in the missions of UC and CSU can account for this disparity; obviously the California legislature simply places a higher priority on funding its 4-year
