LONG BEACH (CBSLA.com) — The California State University Board of Trustees gave the final approval Wednesday on a plan that would raise tuition by 5 percent if voters reject Proposition 30 in November.
The contingency plan would only be implemented to cover an estimated $250 million budget cut across the 23 campuses which would occur if Gov. Jerry Brown’s tax initiative – which would increase sales and income taxes – is defeated.
The plan, which would be in effect in January, includes the tuition increase of $150 more per semester for in-state students. That would mean these students would have to pay a total of $3,135 per semester, or $6,270 per year.
Tuition would raise 7 percent for out-of-state students — $810 more per year – costing them $11,970 total.
If Prop. 30 passes, it would increase the state sales tax by a quarter-cent per dollar for four years and raise the income tax for those who earn more than $250,000 annually for seven years. CSU would then rescind a previously approved 9 percent tuition increase that went into effect this fall.
