"With every fee increase less and less young people are going to university, that means that the ratio of undeducated people is going to grow," Faisal Salah, a junior at Cal State Long Beach said. "The cost of ignorance is a price everyone is going to have to pay. It would be a huge detriment to society in the long run."
This fall the Cal State system increased its tuition $5,472, which was 22% more than the previous year.
