Regarding the University of California's student body in 2022 specifically, pandemic restrictions significantly reduced the number of foreign students, especially from China, and more significantly, UC admissions policy has changed.
Because non-residents pay full tuition and bring in more revenue, UC admitted lots of them (pre-pandemic). However, that led to a public backlash by state taxpayers when admissions rates fell to the point that a lot of qualified residents don't make the cut. That led to a deal: in exchange for lowering the proportion of non-resident admits, the Newsom administration would significantly boost state funding for the University of California.
