Calif students try to get fee freeze on ballot
There's an interesting article on student fees and a petition drive in the San Diego Union Tribune from yesterday- Feb 10. I can't link the article but you can go to signonsandiego.com to view it under Education.
Wow- fees at UC in 1979-80 were $736, in 2000-2001 they were $3964 and this year: $7511.
For the Calif State University system they were $210 in 79-80, $1839 in 2000-01, and $3521 this year.
That's in state registration, not including other fees, books or housing.
Not sure yet how I feel about the tax on millionaires that is proposed to fund the fee freeze but I'm glad to see the students trying to bring the issue to the ballot!
