Contra Costa Times: College students vow to fight tuition raises

California university students learned Wednesday that their brief respite from fee increases may be over.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who last year prevented tuition increases after four straight years of them, proposed a budget that calls for a 10 percent increase for California State University students and a 7 percent increase for most in the University of California system. Students immediately vowed to lobby lawmakers to repeat last year’s reprieve.
