UC Increases Fees (again)
According to this story from the Sacramento Bee:
"The University of California Board of Regents on Wednesday raised student fees for the fifth time since late 2002, a move that will push the minimum cost for UC undergraduates to more than $6,600 next academic year.
The new tuition levels, along with various fees charged by the campuses, represent an 89 percent increase over UC's undergraduate price tag in 2001-02."
For comparison, the total overall inflation rate over the last 5 years: about 10%.
With housing prices at an all time high, health insurance increasing 10% a year, education costs increasing 10% a year, energy costs at all time highs, and stagnant wages, how is anybody expected to stay afloat in this kind of economy?
