CSU system OKs multi-year tuition hike

Tuition for California State University students will increase by 6% annually for five years beginning in 2024-25 following the approval of a proposal passed Wednesday by the university's Board of Trustees.

“State general fund and student tuition revenue are the two primary sources that support the university's annual operating budget plan and the educational endeavors of approximately 460,000 CSU students,” according to a staff report outlining the proposed tuition increase. “To support the expenditure priorities of the budget plan, it would require a significant infusion of new, ongoing revenue from the state general fund and from a tuition increase.

The CSU – which is the largest public four-year university system in the country – was initially considering implementing an ongoing 6% tuition hike, but opted to limit the proposal to five years after vocal opposition from students and some members of the Board of Trustees who said it would create significant financial hardship for students amid the rising cost of living and housing.
