CSU Tuition is up more than 300% in past

decade.

Who wants to reverse that 9% tuition increase?

Proposition 30: “The Schools andLocal Public Safety Protection Act”

Increases income tax on the rich for 7 years Increases the sales tax for 4 years by ¼ percent Generates $8.5 billion in the first year and $5-7

billion each year after. Frees up $5.6 billion for higher ed and other vital programs.

For CSU students, it means a 9% tuition refund = $498!

Who wants to pay MORE for their tuition next term?

The CSU would get cut by $250 million, and tuition could go up $150. Plus no refund – a $648 increase over last year!

If Prop 30 doesn’t pass, the Board of Trustees plans:

Class elimination Program elimination

Faculty and staff layoffs Enrollment Cuts

If Prop 30 DOESN’T pass…

If Prop 30 DOESN’T pass…Primary education suffers massive cuts.

K-12 schools could lose 3 weeks of the school year.

After Nov 6, either the wealthy will pay more – or students will.

Students have fought for years

against fee hikes…
