- UC announces ambitious fundraising campaign, Los Angeles Times, October 23, 2009.As the University of California seeks to sharply increase student fees, its president, Mark G. Yudof, today announced plans to soften the impact with an ambitious campaign to raise $1 billion for financial aid and a policy change widening the aid eligibility for more middle-income families.The 10 UC campuses have committed to raise the $1 billion in private funds for student aid over the next four years, Yudof said. That would be double the amount the system garnered for that purpose over the last five years. . . . In response to reduced state funding, the UC regents next month are expected to vote on a proposal to raise undergraduate fees by $2,514 by next fall to $10,300. The cost of room, board, books and other expenses can add another $15,000 to annual bills.”

- UC Berkeley number 1 in contributions to the public good. Also see: Berkeley Tops College Rankings From ‘Washington Monthly’, September 2, 2009. Chronicle of Higher Education. Washington Monthly‘s 2009 national university college rankings based on their contribution to the public good in three broad categories: Social Mobility (recruiting and graduating low-income students), Research (producing cutting-edge scholarship and PhDs), and Service (encouraging students to give something back to their country). Excerpt: “All of the top twenty U.S. News universities are private, as are nearly all the top colleges. But by our reckoning, public universities deserve a lot more credit than they’re getting—thirteen of our top twenty universities are taxpayer funded. The University of California system in particular stands out, grabbing the top three spots—including number-one-ranked Berkeley—and six of the top twenty-five. UC campuses enroll unusually large numbers of low-income students while maintaining high graduation rates, generating billions of dollars in research funding, and sending a healthy number of students into service programs like the Peace Corps. Tragically, steep budget cuts stemming from the current California budget fiasco are putting all of that at risk.”

Smart buying is most helpful when applied all the time, but is specially useful for the duration of times of monetary hardship, downswings in the overall economy, layoffs or remaining confronted with new fees. It can be applied to help all by yourself get out of financial debt or to help save further cash when you would like to make a big purchase or expenditure in the long run.
