University of Calif. faces mounting pension costs

From the AP:
UC officials want the state to make pension contributions, as it does for the California
State University and California Community Colleges systems. But the state, facing
its own financial problems, hasn't provided money for UC pensions for more than 20
years. UC Irvine student Traci Ishigo said she also wants the state to help cover
the UC's escalating pension costs. "Students shouldn't have to compromise any more
on the quality of our education," Ishigo said. "I don't want to see the regents make
any decisions where they have to place more burden on the backs of students to cover
the rising pension costs."
