Regents vote to spend 3.2 million in student fees on buildings
Regents committee overrode student protests to allocate 3.2 million of student fees for capital improvements rather than scholarships or loans. The move follows a 19 million allocation last month for new classrooms libraries and labs. UC President Hitch urged continued support from state and federal governments amid enrollment growth and financial aid concerns voiced by the Student Body Presidents Council. A report showed a 3.9 million shortfall in financial aid for 1970 71, with the largest needs in medical schools at UCLA and San Francisco. Other actions included 250 000 for UC Santa Barbara Isla Vista relations and a potential 250 per year medicine and dentistry fee increase delayed to January.
