This brief provides findings from the full report, "California's Higher Education Funding Landscape," which examines California's higher education funding sources, revenue trends over the past decade, and compares its funding model with other large states to inform future policies. Key findings include: (1) appropriations for higher education are currently relatively stable, representing about 10% of the state's General Fund; (2) tuition revenue for four-year institutions has become increasingly important, especially for University of California (UC), and state support makes up nearly all of the funding for California Community Colleges (CCC) and a substantial portion for California State University (CSU); (3) both UC and CSU have recently entered multi-year tuition-increase agreements with the state in exchange for enrollment and student success milestones, which are likely to make it harder for some families to afford college; and (4) California's higher education funding compares favorably to other states, with higher per-student state appropriations.
