I know a fee increase is hard and a dissapointment but those students need to grow up and realize what the rest of the country is going through. A couple of months I heard a School Board member say they should raise the Property tax to help pay for education. Well guess what? Property owners pay a hefty fee right now. We are all taxed out.
There are times when you have to bite the dust and take responsibility and right now it is , I think you will have to take the increase in fees and more.

The lottery was supposed to be the great school funding fix so what happened? That money vanished to somewhere and now they need the entire lottery and more.
Maybe life is where it was when I was 20, NO MONEY TO GO TO COLLEGE. I have still had a suscessful and happy life.

The problem is that so many of the post-modern generation think that there is a Utopian answer to everything. However reality and utopia hardly ever intersect.

the hikes would bring annual in- state UC tuition to $10,302


Wow. How quickly times have changed ... or more accurately, how much faster education fees have ballooned in comparison to the rate of inflation that governs the rest of the economy.

I think my entire undergraduate (Cal State) career (books, tuition, housing) cost less than 18 grand. I had a number of friends who went to UCLA. They were paying about 3K in tuition each year.

The ongoing devaluation of the American dollar is a thing to behold.

Not having been interested much in economics until guys like Gerald Celente began speaking of a probable depression that will exceed by far the ills visited upon Americans during the last great depression, I have now purchased "The Dollar Meltdown" (Charles Goyette).

Having read portions of this excellent book I am now in a position to intellectually as well as emotionally appreciate the poverty that my wife and I will endure in the near future.

Oh by the way...that includes the rest of you too.
Leave it to the government to provide equal opportunity poverty.
