tuition

Tuition will just keep getting higher until it affects everyone's ability to pay for college. Today, it's a relatively small percentage who can't pay tuition; there's no relief in sight.

Why insist on walkouts when there the majority of college students aren't even the lightest bit affected or aware of CSU and UC tuition hikes? (i.e., people who's parents pay for tuition, people with large student loans, grants, etc.) Really? Think about this: Is a walkout of less than 1000 students going to do any good? No. All it is, is a lost/wasted day of instruction that YOU the student pay for. Take advantage of what you're paying (even more) for. Don't try to be a rebel and participate in some half-assed walkout. I'd understand if tens of thousands of students and faculty walked out, but this, this is just foolishness.
