So, the #CalState (CSU) Board of Trustees voted this week to raise #tuition for the coming fall semester. Here's the California Faculty Association (faculty union) official response. My campus also posted an official response, linked here:

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.

If you're going to argue for or against #FreeCollege  in the #Election2016  season, you may want to be up on the #history of it. This is a nice summary through the California lens.

CSU is still figuring out what it might do.

CSU is still figuring out what it might do. In a report issued to the Board of Trustees last month, a task force suggested using inflation as a benchmark for considering annual tuition increases.

Trustees pushed back on the idea, which they said would be unfair to students and make it easier for the Legislature to prioritize other funding. During the public comment period, one speaker mockingly presented Chancellor Timothy White with a “Privatizer of the Year” award.
