- fallingknife 4y agoThe article cites a $6.6 billion reduction in state funding. There are 14 million students in US public universities. So this accounts for less than $500 per student. Not a significant factor to price increases.

- UncleEntity 4y agoWhen I went to a California community college in the early 90s tuition was $6/unit capped at $60/semester. The same school is now $46/unit with no cap. Though, through the google, it looks like there’s some sort of two years of free tuition program so it’s probably a wash practically speaking.
