Just an FYI, but SFSU's tuition is not going up by 100%. I'm basing all this on the tuition for 6.1 units+ (because 12 units is considered full-time, not 6.1)

Tuition is $2,013.00

Bringing the tuition to $2300-2400 is NOT 100%. These students are complaining about an extra $300-400 dollars.

ETA: It even says on the website that shows tuition, that the first hike in tuition prices was 10% for the Fall 2009 school year. Really? Protests over a 10% hike?

What the EFF?! This is what I read in the New York Times about it:

"Along with indignation over budget cuts, a blog listing the protesters’ demands included forgiveness of all student loans and ending the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. With demands far beyond the purview of school administrators, negotiations with the students was nearly impossible, Ms. Griffin said."

Seriously? Shut up kids.

^^^^ I know. What a bunch of spoiled brats.

Ok so I stand corrected. 10% increase is nothing.

cosign.

LOL. Thank you for posting that. After a really long day at work, that was the comedic relief I needed.

About the price it cost for me to attend a college that was not in California. :rolleyes:
:rolleyes: I have no words. None. This is where I need PB to come in with the speech that starts with "blank stare" and ends with "jokers."
I wouldn't say nothing, but it makes a heck of a lot more sense. Thanks for posting that, epchick, that's much more proportional.

And for the record, colleges increase tuition at about an average of 6% every year, so with the way things are its really not much higher than the normal tuition increase from year to year.
