In a surprise move, University of California President Mark Yudof has approved a controversial proposal by UCLA’s Anderson School of Management to forgo state funding for its full-time MBA program and become self-supporting. Anderson will be one of a small handful of North American business schools that have decided to forgo state funding. The University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business became self-sufficient in 2002, using tuition, executive education revenue, and endowment earnings to pay the bills.
