According to SHEF (https://t.co/B3jB9qcdSk) in 2018 California public colleges and universities continue to be under resourced, ranked in last place in resources per student. This means fewer classrooms, lower paid professors, campuses scrambling for "alternative revenue", etc.
Great thread by @imallabboudit highlighting how ridiculous tuition, high fee high aid, student loans, expensive housing and meal plans, etc. sound in the context of high school:
We should have tuition at public high schools. It just needs to be affordable. And people who can’t afford high school can fill out a bunch of forms to get financial aid to pay tuition.
Read our carefully researched report that shows that California can afford to restore top-quality public higher education -- and make the system 100% tuition-free: https://t.co/VHb66HUA0t
