STUDENTS WIN TUITION SUIT After thc California Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal hy the University of California in a lawsuit hrought against it hy eight students, UC paid ahout $33 nmil- lion to 35,000 students, the Contra Costa Times reported. Eight students filed a class- action lawsuit in 2003 after the UC system increased tuition after pre- viously promising not to raise cer- tain fees. UC administrators said they made the hike to compensate for a state budget shortfall. A 2006 ruling in the case said the the decision to raise the fees was a breach of contract hetween the university and the students. An appeals court affirmed the rul- ing in 2007. The payouts, ranging from $1 to $12000 per student, averaged $200 to $3011. STEPHANIE BERLIANT Tim Kramer (right) discasses home beer brewing with Fred Wigley (left) outside the leer Depot Friday.
