FastWeb.com: UC Berkeley students are up in arms over an approved 32 percent tuition increase for all ten campuses in the University of California system that will raise yearly fees above $10,000 for the first time in history. Similar protests and sit-ins took place at UCLA and UC Santa Cruz. The regent committee endorsed the hefty hike by a vote of 10-1. The record-breaking boost in undergraduate and graduate costs will go into effect next Fall.

  • Yep, it's full of people from California looking for the jobs we still have because we haven't destroyed our economy and taxed our businesses out of the state.

  • I'm going to college right now. I couldn't have started out with a straight up UC or CSU because I was kiciked out of 12th grade 3 months before the end. I ended up graduating from a continuation school just because they took something I said to seriously/misinterpreted it. Besides, people who go to berkeley end up scientists, not CEO's. You're thinking about law schools and Ivy League private schools.

  • The best solution would be to recall arnold or fees will continue to increase. Our state will suffer in the long run in uneducation. It's time to really stand up, unite, continue to protest and fight for our right to education. FIGHT HARD MY STUDENT BROTHERS!!

    From the CSU Stanislaus, peace to all my brothers out there and continue the struggle, dont let the system push us around like this!!!!

  • You're right about screwing the little guy but these little guys are going to be the top CEO of the future so in the long run everyone will suffer the consequences, did you forger that our state and our country are compteting globally with japan and europe in the global economy. dude what school did you go to?if any..

  • we know what the state of Texas is full of..

  • Jobs are hard to come by. I know people who applied to every job within a 10 or 15 mile radius and still couldn't find anything.

  • What, is this whole school full of nothing but parasites?

  • They don't get hired because of skill sets, they get hired because they know they'll take whatever low wage the employer will throw at them. If they get payed "under the table", they don't even have to pay minimum wage.

  • No, that's the IRS's job.

  • Free as in free for those who obtain it, but it has to be payed for by taxes. Most tax money is obtained from the rich, and raising taxes on the poor hardly has any effect on the budget. Its almost like they do it out of spite, just to screw over the little guy.
