Following a long line of students Tuesday speaking against an increase in tuition and rallying outside, the California State University finance committee approved the tuition increase 9-0. The full board is set to decide on the increase later Wednesday, after the Times-Standard publishing deadline.
The tuition increases were forecast earlier this year, when a Cal State task force concluded the system needs at least $1.5 billion annually in new revenue to afford student services and bolster its academic offerings. Story from @CalMatters.
Tuition for California State University students will increase by 6% annually for five years beginning in 2024-25 under a plan approved Wednesday by the university's Board of Trustees.
