University of California regents on Wednesday will discuss a possible tuition rate hike that would take effect in 2027.

UC students plan to protest this latest tuition hike that regents blame on inflation, state budget cuts and possible cuts under the Trump administration.

The potential hike is a renewal of the 2021 tuition stability plan, which caps inflation-based increases at 5% per year. It also builds in a 1% increase in support of capital improvements but also freezes students’ tuition rates for six years at what tuition was upon initial enrollment.

The increase would go into effect in the fall of 2027, and 40% of new revenue would be set aside for financial aid.
