To the haters - change doesn't come from nothing. Believe in change and stand a chance. Thanks Tyler

Easy access to credit in past years has driven the costs of high education tremendously high. As a result of the 2008 economic collapse, loans have been harder to get. The next financial collapse will probably destroy much of this debt system. Which means those big items such as homes, real estate, college tuition will suffer traumatic price deflation as they're values come plummeting back down to earth. Then we'll be able to afford them without access to credit. Which is as it should be.

Awesome video Tyler. This is what I like to see. We need to get the other AS/ASI campus leaders to do the same.

It was actually the CSU Board of Trustees that voted and approved a fee increase of 30% over last year.

Point clearly taken. You are correct that he is testing the waters for another increase. The amount of protest participants may dictate what the spring semester increase will be. In fact, he probably has an equation already worked up to plug in the amount of participants for the spring fee decision. His decision is not for the current students but the fiscal health of the university 20 yrs from now.

And I understand USD is a "PRIVATE" school, but it still costs 5 times as much as SDSU. Compare SDSU to PUBLIC schools in other states and it will still be vastly cheaper. Money doesn't grow on trees.

Regardless of whether gov employees are overpaid, that is obviously not the reason for this mess. And the California financial system has been heavily reliant on the national economy-naturally-since day 1. So when the national economy tanks so does California's. Let's not scapegoat the governor and government employees. It's not that simple--never is.

It is simple politics. Weber in the rally will appear to be on the students' side. Then he sees that only a trickle of students joined the rally. He will think, "WOW- No one is complaining about the raised fees. I can do my next round of raised fees next semester, because it appears that no one is affected much by the recently raised fees. HOME FREE!" Come spring semester, another round of raised fees happens, just because people are too apathetic to rally. People complain but do nothing.

hopeulikeurchange, USD is a PRIVATE school. So it is supposed to be much higher. SDSU is a PUBLIC university. And public universities are supposed to be funded by the state because the state is supposed to be concerned about educating the young minds to be leaders of the future. However, if the state squanders the money so that the state, local, city employees have PLUSH lifetime retirements, then yes, less money will be allocated to the state universities. Where's the gold in CA, governator?
