State College & Universities Looking at 10% Increase

uc_tuition_hikes.jpgAs both the University of California and Cal State public school systems look at fee increases as the state budget dwindes into super red deficit numbers, Prop 8 protests won't be the only ones going on. From the LA Times: "Lucero Chavez, president of the systemwide UC Student Assn., predicted more protests ahead because students are angry about fees growing so much year after year. 'I think we saw in the voter turnout [in the presidential election] that students are ready to be mobilized,' she said."

And that's why I go to school out of state.

Well, state schools are still a cheap option (compared with the $30,000 I paid as an undergrad). But it's odd that California doesn't have a law mandating how much tuition can increase by year. We have laws about how much rent can increase. Other states have laws about state tuition. (Like New York, where SUNY tuition is actually now about twice as much as CSU tuition - not that I want my fees to increase more. I already am paying about $1300 a semester for part time grad study - which is two classes. Still, could be worse.)
