Panel on Cal State Urged Not to Increase Fees
California State University students on Friday urged an Assembly committee hearing at Cal State Long Beach to cut administrators’ salaries, increase faculty workloads or find other alternatives to raising student fees next year.
If Cal State fees go up as much as 40%, many students who are already working several jobs and are cutting back on class units will be forced to drop out, said Kim Williams, a senior at Cal State Los Angeles. “The university is here for us, and we are in the university for the state of California, because we are the future,” she told the Assembly Committee on Higher Education.
