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.

Yudof’s approval comes nine months after a UC Academic Senate panel suspended its reviewBloomberg Terminal of the UCLA plan, saying the program failed to meet any of the four criteria required for a program to become self-supporting at UC.
