It was a shrewd example of the political carrot and stick: a decision to limit nonresident admissions at two University of California campuses while also capping resident admissions at all UC campuses -- just another sign that the UC budget battle is the main event at the statehouse in 2015.
On this week's California politics podcast, we discuss the UC fight as well as two other big stories: the very real potential that California's congressional districts could be redrawn for 2016, and the passing of an education policy wonk whose legacy eclipses that of some governors.
As always on this podcast, I'm joined by KQED's Marisa Lagos and by Anthony York of the independent Grizzly Bear Project.
