California State University Approves 6% Tuition Hike for Next Year

The California State University (CSU) board has approved a 6% annual tuition hike for the next five years, starting in 2024, generating an additional $148 million for the system. The proposal was met with opposition from students who held protests outside the meeting. The board rejected a student representative's proposal to limit the plan to four years. The tuition increase aims to address a $1.5 billion budget shortfall, but critics argue it will create financial hardship for students. Financial aid will also increase by $49 million.

California State University Implements Steady Tuition Increases Amidst Protests and Deficit

The California State University system has voted to raise tuition by 6% annually for the next five years, despite opposition from students and faculty. The decision comes after a task force concluded that the system needs at least $1.5 billion in new revenue each year to support student services and improve academic offerings. The first increase will take effect next fall, with in-state undergraduates seeing an uptick of $342, bringing annual tuition to $6,084. The tuition hikes aim to address financial stability and support the system's goal of increasing graduation rates, particularly among minority students. However, critics argue that the increases will make education less accessible and hinder student success.
