He concluded, “I urge you to focus on reducing the system’s cost structures rather than increasing the financial burden on students.”
Students had been advocating against the increase. They collected some 2,000 testimonials about the personal impacts of a tuition bump, and presented them to regents and to legislators in Sacramento.
