Save Cal Grants Coalition Help defend public higher education in California. Support AB 656 to raise $1 billion for UCs, CSUs, and community colleges!
California's higher education system is straining to continue providing a top quality education at a price that students and their families can afford. Years of declining financial resources are taking their toll: enrollment is down, student fees are skyrocketing, fewer classes are available, and more faculty are being... laid off. At the rate we are going, it’s predicted that California will soon be spending more money on prisons in one year than we will spend on higher education in two. Taxing oil production in California and dedicating those funds to higher education would provide up to $1 billion annually for California colleges and universities. Assembly Bill 656, authored by Assembly Majority Leader Alberto Torrico, would create a new California Higher Education Fund using an oil severance tax on oil companies drilling in California. AB 656, would raise up to $1 billion for the UC, CSU and community colleges with a 9.9 percent tax on oil extracted within California. To get involved in the fight to tax oil companies to fund higher education, please join our campaign for a Fair Share for Fair Tuition.Read More

Reporting from San Francisco - Proposals to sharply raise student fees at University of California campuses this winter and again next fall, and to further restrict freshman enrollment, appeared to gain reluctant support Wednesday from the system's governing board. ...

UC officials have released a plan that calls for a 30% boost in basic student fees over the next year. That’s on top of more than $600 in fee hikes earlier this year. All totaled, it would push the cost of attending a UC to just over $10,000.

Check out the Students for a Majority Vote fan page; its the next step in keeping education from being cut in future budget years:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Students-f
We are a student group dedicated to repealing California's 2/3's budget vote rule, ending the rule of the few, giving a voice back to Californians, and winning back a simple majority vote so we can bring much needed change to California. California's economic crisis is owed in large part to a disgustingly undemocratic... budget making process that forces families to accept IOU's and go without healthcare, and students to pay higher tuition and receive less financial aid. It's time we stop the gridlock and dysfunctional government and make the budget process work for Californians again. Read More

Call your state legislators today and ask them to restore funding to the California Student Aid Commission! Without this, there will likely be no Cal Grants next year. **Post in your status**
