Wow, our country is in REAL danger. This is our youth. This is in the US. This isn't Cuba. Scary. Don't want to pay for something, just call it a right. The lack of reason is unbelievable. The sad part is that the professors organize these kids to further their left wing garbage. Revolution? You people are looking for a service and you don't want to pay for it. Your hopes and dreams have been fully realized in Cuba. Maybe we can do a one time tax to ship you all over there.

Grow up kid. The city and NYS is broke. If you want a service, you have to pay for it. I'm sure you're going to college for that very reason. Do you expect payment for your services when you graduate? No more money left to keep salaries artificially low. Look to your professors. Ask them WHY tuition needs to be so high. Ask them if they are willing to teach for free.  Then you can go to school for free. Otherwise, it's coming out of all New Yorkers pockets. Again, grow up.

uh...for 4k a year in cuny, id say thats pretty darn cheap compared to other schools. I mean seriously, students who struggle to pay will most likely be covered by financial aid. i dont see whats the big fuss is about. i think most of the people who complain are the upper middle class students who feel too cheap to pay.

@msegreto2 don't be dense. How did your daddy get an education? Rutgers? That's a public university run from tax payer dollars. Where did you get your education? If there were no public universities you and your dad would have ended up with high school degrees only.

@statelybird3 private collages do this but public institutions have to get legislative approval (from the state) to hike tuition. However, in New York State there is an attempt to remove these restrictions and allow for state universities such as CUNY or SUNY to increase tuition every semester. This policy results in educational racism and classism, since the majority of undergraduates in the CUNY system are 1) people of color, 2) working class and they will gradually be pushed out due to cost

@msegreto2

It's not just the govt. ---the cost in living in general has gone up----and the state, not the government, runs the schools---do your homework, please.
