CSU committee approves 10 percent tuition hike Associated Press Last Updated 11:02 am PDT Wednesday, May 14, 2008
LONG BEACH -- The cost of attending a California State University campus is likely to go up again in the fall.
A committee of the CSU Board of Trustees on Wednesday authorized raising yearly undergraduate tuition by $276, or 10 percent. The increase means that undergraduates will pay an average of $3,797 next year, twice as much as what a CSU school cost in fall 2000.
The 23-campus system is under orders from Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to reduce campus spending to help make up a statewide budget deficit. Several trustees said they had to ask students and their families to shoulder some of the burden.
The proposal approved by the Board of Trustees' finance committee is scheduled to be considered by the 23-campus system's full board late Wednesday
Comments
It's a shame, but people in the state of California are forgetting what made this state great. Instead, they keep pricing people out of a college education. Then we wonder why there's a teaching shortage or a nursing shortage.
It costs more to go to a community college now than it used to cost (just twenty-five years ago) to go to Cal State.
