Letters to the Editor: I paid $12 per unit to attend a Cal State. Don't raise tuition (via latimesopinion )
When I attended Cal State Northridge before graduating in 1980, I paid $12 per unit in tuition. No loans were needed to come up with that amount.
My California State University undergraduate education served me well, allowing me to secure excellent jobs, contribute to society and support my family. I stand with students who say they cannot afford endless tuition hikes. Let’s find other ways to “close the gap” on funding. Looking at administrative salaries and other overhead is a place to start rather than further burdening students or, worse, discouraging them from attending at all.I cannot conceive of any reason why Cal State students would complain of a mere 6% tuition hike every year.
After all, the new system’s chancellor, Mildred Garcia, is paid only $795,000 per year, plus $80,000 in deferred compensation, along with housing and auto allowances. Her salary and emoluments are only twice that of the president of the United States.
