The 2019-20 May Revision: Analysis of the May Revision Education Proposals

May 15, 2019 - As a rough rule of thumb, we think a $2 nonstate match for every $1 of General Fund would be reasonable. That is, UC would match the Governor ’s proposed $25 million one-time General Fund with $50 million one-time nonstate funds.
