Cal State (CSU) Board of Trustees is not boasting about this, but they'll be talking #tuition at their Nov. 15–16 meeting.

EDITED TO ADD: Cal Poly is featured prominently in the linked article.

Talking about #fees should put students in the right frame of mind, don't you think?

My guess is that this is NOT how the University of Oklahoma would like to be reported about in New York Times. I've complained often about this "academic excellence fee" before, so I am really glad to see it being singled out here. All the details are here: $75/credit-hour to support faculty recruitment and research. Yes, that's right. It is the GORILLA in the room, bigger than any other fee. For 120 credits (minimum for graduation), that's $9000.
