California College Tuition Costs To Increase 32 PERCENT Due To State Budget Crisis, Students Protest Hike

As protests resounded outside, the University of California Board of Regents approved a 32 percent fee increase for students attending the state’s premier public schools.
The vote in a windowless University of California, Los Angeles, meeting room took place Thursday as hundreds of students and union members gathered nearby, waving signs, pounding drums and chanting “We’re fired up, can’t take it no more” and “Shame on you.”
The $2,500 increase will push the cost of an undergraduate education to more than $10,000 a year by next fall, about triple the cost of a decade ago. The fees, the equivalent of tuition, do not include the cost of housing, board and books.
“Our hand has been forced,” UC President Mark Yudof told reporters after the vote. “When you don’t have any money, you don’t have any money.”
