What is the name of your state? CA
I am a graduate student in San Jose State University's School of Library and Information Services. I entered the program in Spring 2006. My tuition has doubled since I entered the program.
Are such outrageous fee increases really legal?
In addition to this, I am bothered by the fact that the school has two programs--"Regular Session", which is only open to students residing in certain area codes (Fresno and north), and "Special Session," which is open to everyone else. Regular Session is considerably less expensive than Special session, despite the fact that students in both sessions take the same classes (which are offered primarily online). I can understand why out-of-state students would be paying higher tuition than California residents, since this is a state-supported school, but I can't see why Southern Californians should be paying more than Northern Californians. It seems as though we Southern Californian students are subsidizing the program twice--once through the higher Special Session tuition, and once through our taxes. Is this legal?
