Anderson School of Management hopes to replace state aid with donations and higher tuition

From The Los Angeles Times: The Anderson School of Management at the University of California at Los Angeles wants to end its reliance on state funds under a proposal that would be the first such shift to self-sufficiency in the cash-strapped UC system and could provide a model for other programs seeking freedom to raise tuition and faculty salaries. Anderson, which offers master's degrees and doctorates, hopes to wean itself off state funds by 2015 and to replace that $5.6 million a year with additional private donations and tuition levels closer to that of private business schools.
