The University, has become a second-rate entity. The Universities financial deficit are at nightmare proportions. That is why it is necessary for all these cut and what they are currently doing which I believe is the right thing to do. Now in the days when fees where low and one could attend college at an affordable cost. This was when the University and the CSU education in California. What I mean by this is that with all these necessary cuts the CSU still maintains great accountability to the students. The taxpayers have to make sure cuts are necessary because it is their money at stake and they should agree to these cuts. The walkout was just I will continue to repeat just for many of those students that are afraid of their own behinds. It is still going to be certain groups that continue to disrupt the functioning. All, together, those students that participated in the walkout contribute to less than 3 percent of their financial needs to their education. People complain about the salary that the President and the administration is making but why should people complain is it their fault that they handle their business and those people at the walkout are penalizing them for being successful. The new law of evolution in academics seems to be survival of the unfittest. Well, in my book you either do it right or you get eliminated and that is why these cuts were necessary something that these people in the walkout don't seem to understand. These activists should not believe that the administration are destroyers of high education. They should realize that the CSU is a liberator of these cuts which are necessary. The point that I am trying to make is that greed for a lack of a better word --is good Greed is right ....Greed works....Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms greed for life for money, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of the world of academics. Also, greed you can read my words will not only save the university but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA.

Is free/very cheap schooling a right? No. Is it a privilege? Far from it. Compare the average academic requirements and costs of attending a CSU vs UC and one sees both ends of the spectrum. The current cost of tuition is just about right. If a $600-$800 rise in tuition is breaking your bank account then you may have bigger problems. However, we cannot expect a rise in tuition without some comparable rise in quality of service. At the very least, we should expect the same. Most of the frustration stems from a shortage of classes. That is simply unacceptable, especially for those of us in our senior year. So I ask those of you who demand free education to reconsider the logic behind that view. I also want the elitists to remember that we are all part of the same system - one that may cut the last class that you need to graduate, no matter how much money you have.

However, in the years to come when gasoline costs $12.34 a gallon and a meager home cooked meal is about $15 a person, you'll still be as rich (or poor) as you were when you purchased the gold/silver/whatever. We can exit this damned inflationary policy debacle. Hope this helps everyone in the future. -Sean Noemi what you said, and many others have said makes me think of some economic advice.

Since the problem really is the US Dollar just doesn’t go far enough. What I’m going to do when I earn an appreciable income is get away from the political funny money that ironically has “In God we Trust” stamped on it.

I’m storing my wealth in gold, silver, platinum, and diamonds. Historically those precious commodities never suffer inflation. When gold prices rise, I’m not getting richer, but everyone else is getting poorer.

The Federal Reserve is a political weapon to keep us poor and dependent.

I’m tired of their damned game.

Now will this solve your money shortage now? NO! You cannot get richer just storing your wealth in precious metal. However, in the years to come when gasoline costs $12.34 a gallon and a meager home cooked meal is about $15 a person, you’ll still be as rich (or poor) as you were when you purchased the gold/silver/whatever.

We can exit this damned inflationary policy debacle.

Hope this helps everyone in the future.

Really? As a student i can't pretend to believe that i can go to school for a whole year for only $5000 unless that includes my housing (because i pay rent every month), food, bills, gas, BOOKS, parking permit, and everything else we must pay to survive for a year.... after adding all of that i assure you a semester in college is way more than just tuition or $5000. I have worked up to three jobs to afford school while going to school full time, without any financial aid. I'm a senior and at this point i am not sure if i will be able to come up with tuition for next semester to graduate, i no longer have a job. $5000 is a lot! for you average working student... when you don't have money, any amount of money is A LOT.
