November 8, 2012 (San Diego) –Tuition at 23 California State University campuses—including San Diego State University and Cal State San Marcos locally, will rescind a $249-per-semestser tuition fee hike that had taken effect in the fall term. Fees will now revert back to $5,472, the same rate as last year.
“We are hopeful that the passage of Proposition 30 will be the beginning of the state’s reinvestment in higher education,” CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed said in a statement issued yesterday.
He added, “The state needs to start making up for the devastating budget cuts of the past several years, and focus on higher education as a driver of California’s economic future.
Students who already paid the increased fee can receive a refund or credit, thanks to passage of Proposition 30, which voters approved Tuesday to assure funding for higher education as well as K-12.
