CSU students could see a 12 percent increase THIS fall

if the trustees approve a proposal on July 12.

Buried at the bottom of a press release, CSU Chancellor Charles Reed announced yesterday that he'll ask for an additional $294 per semester beginning this fall to partially compensate for budget cuts "in order to avert devastating and lasting damage to student access, student services and program quality."

And the cuts are not even done yet. There could be more "trigger" cuts, if the projections in the budget passed by Democrats do not materialize.
