On this latest ballot? I have not heard of such a thing. Maybe it was local?

wtf... we're poor already. LEAVE US ALONE DAMMIT! (I don't remember seeing such a proposition though on the last election)

What, you think having 4 tier-one schools is economically feasible under your current 'fees', which rivals Texas', and we only have one?

nm. If it was in the budget then it passed.

Tax payers can't afford you guys any more...outside the building and lights..tuition should cover all the cost of education.

Okay, those links refresh my memory.

That is NOT a ballot measure, its a budget measure passed by Governor/Legislature. So in other words, the 40% increase is happening whether you like it or not.

damn....oh well.....40% increase is a lot though

bastard state won't give more funding, so the University has to pass it down to the students.
