The graphs above show how tuitions for UC and CSU have been increasing greatly.
UC: it has been skyrocketing since 2003. In the early 2000s, tuition for California residents resided along 4000 dollars, however within just 7 years; it is now almost tripled with a cost of $11,124!
CSU: Although CSU system is still one of the most affordable colleges in the nation, they were not exempt from this cruel tuition increase. The graph increased even more sharply than the UC. Their tuition stayed little above $1000 during late 1990s to 2000s, and now you are looking at a tuition quadrupled with outrageous cost of $4,884!
The tuitions for public colleges like all of the UC, CSU, and even community colleges are increasing as the state deficits are escalating.
Every time they raise the tuition, there are more students who give up their hopes to go to their dream college, not because of their grades but the cost. Every student, not just in California but in the whole nation has the right to pursue higher education regardless of their family income and legal status.
California will not be able to get out of this economic depression without providing an advanced and affordable education for their future leaders.
