<p>They just approved a request to the state. The Gov and the legislature ultimately decide on the size of the allocation. That’s why it is important, more than ever, to advocate for higher education. They did approve a tuition increase, which would help alleviate some pressure. I am all for increasing tuition, but many students at CPP an other CSUs are having a tough time managing work and their education. To those folks, I encourage them to exhaust all avenues of financing, including loans; Pell and government loans, bank loans, and even credit cards at last resort. CSU tuition is still a huge bargain, and will more than pay off in just a few years after graduation. Anyways, I digress. I hope you the fix the budget mess and find room for enthusiastic people like you.</p>
