Not unreasonable? They are doubling tuition from one semester to another.

In most other places, tuition is MUCH higher than this. It's either force kids to take out loans so they can get higher paying jobs or take food or cut other vital infrastructure, primary/secondary ed or health and human services programs when those programs have been cut to the bone.

Or California could simply start denying benefits to illegals...

For reals! When I was in school in CA, it cost around $3000 for the whole YEAR (and I was in school right across the bay from SFSU) and that was if you took 6+ credits. So it didn't matter if it was 12, 14, 16, etc units it was all $3000.

At my school in TX, it's around $3000 each SEMESTER (for a minimal amount of credits) and then it's like almost $200 more for each additional credit. So 12, 14, 16 credits are all varying amounts.

So when I hear about a bunch of these protests or even people from my old school (in CA) complaining, I just just cause I paid double in 1 year what they pay,
