32% Tuition Hike: Unfair


Huge protests in California, where college students are outraged over a threatened 32% tuition hike.

More than 50 students were arrested, in widespread protests that saw numerous campus areas taken over.

How about the govenor,professors, teachers,
and all state employees take a 32% cut in pay.
You want educated people to run jobs etc.cut some
where else. Colleges should be the last place to
cut the money off.
