Regents Set to Raise Tuition in California by 32 Percent
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/20/ed...20tuition.html That is pretty dramatic! They are going to increase fees on my kids next year, a few hundred each, but 32% is outrageous.

Anyway... California students have the lowest tuition anywhere. Their "fee" model has been a subject of debate for a long time. Quote:
So, though 32% sounds like a huge amount, and the increase to the students mean less refunding from federal aid programs so less money in their pocket, desperate times call for desperate measures and CA students still aren't paying what most students around the country are paying.

Interesting. I didn't know they were that low. But man 32% still sounds like a hike on a college kid or family supporting them on a budget.

We met with our division VP today and I mentioned this subject. He was the one who told me how low CA tuition is, and yes it can be a hardship for some, but still it's a pretty cheap education. Would be hard to get slammed with it out of nowhere. The students are protesting, which is the role I expect from students, and I hope good talks come out of it...heavy on the civil disobedience.
States are suffering and can't fund higher education as it has in the past. We got no state grants for students this year due to our low tuition, and won't get it next year either.

We have the HOPE Scholarship program and it has been a Godsend. Not only for us but for hundreds of thousands of people.
