Hard boiled over tuition

Furlough day anyone … anyone?

No thanks.

I’m pretty sure I’ve paid for a desk and a lesson plan.

My tuition costs are climbing and I’m expected to be giddy about two class days a month where absolutely nothing is happening.

I better be getting a refund check somewhere in that illogical mess.

And while we’re on the topic of making cents, as in being nickel and dimed, I logged into the MySJSU Web site and did a once over of all the fees being assessed — what the hell is an IRA fee?

SJSU turns away future Spartans

With the recent $594 million California State University budget cut for the 2009-2010 school year and increasing student fees, I was surprised to discover that SJSU will not be accepting any prospective freshman for the spring 2010 semester.

According to the Santa Cruz Sentinel, that by closing spring admissions, CSUs hope to pull through the 20 percent decrease in state funding.

This is happening all too quickly — I was still trying to grasp the fact that this past July, CSUs decided to turn away 40,000 incoming students over the course of two years — but now zero within a few months.

However, it won’t stop here.
