UC tuition has increased over 300% in the last decade. CSU tuition is also way way outpacing inflation. There are layoffs and furloughs, class size increases, and class offering reductions. And according to these interviewees (http://www.democracynow.org/2009/11/20/students), it's not because the UC system has no money, but rather because the UC system places undergraduate education at a very low spending priority. I say jeers to the administrators. What should be done about this? What are the long-term implications of this trend in higher education? Any other thoughts on the matter?
