I don't think it particularly matters what the other states think because this isn't happening to other states. (Or rather other SCHOOLS, not every CA university has tuition that low). Other schools are used to tuition being $4,000/$5,000/$6,000 a semester. SFSU students have grown accustomed to this price and that is what they set their budgets around, that is what they have become capable of. To hike tuition by THAT much forces them so far beyond their many if not most cannot possibly cope. On average, college tuition goes up 8% a year and people have a hard time with that--I'm not saying one school's tuition should or should not stay lower than the national average, but a sharp 100% increase would throw anybody into a tailspin.
