SFSU Students Take Over Building in Protest

This is going on right now: http://www.kcbs.com/pages/5854198.ph...tentId=5195873

Quote:
SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) -- A protest was held on the San Francisco State campus over budget cuts and fee increases Wednesday, with student organizers taking over the school’s business building.

It’s the week before finals at SFSU, and protestors say they didn’t want to let the semester go by without making some kind of statement on the recent fee increases brought on by California’s budget problems.

The 20 or so protestors inside the building donned masks and blocked the entrances to the building with desks and chairs, while another 30 protestors gathered outside.

Students tell KCBS that paying $2,300 to $2,400 in tuition next semester prices many working-class students out of a college education.
I was going to because EVERY school has tuition increases and nothing can be done about inflation. However, according to the school website, tuition right now is between $1167-$2013 (depending on how many credits you have). If they really are hiking tuition from $1167 to $2300 then, yes, that's unreasonable.
