The Problem

Tuition Relief Now is a student-led, volunteer driven ballot initiative campaign aiming to freeze undergraduate tuition at all 31 Cal State and University of California campuses. With fees nearly doubling in the past six years, students are being priced out of higher education! Join us and sign up to volunteer at www.TUITIONRELIEFNOW.org! In a nutshell, this law will freeze tuition for 5 years for resident undergraduate students in University of California (UC) and California State University (CSU). Thereafter, the law will prevent any future tuition increases from exceeding the inflation index. The law will raise new revenue specifically for the cost of educating UC and CSU student through a 1% tax on millionaires' income over $1 million. The law sets up an accountability process requiring UC and CSU administrators to report to a citizens panel of students and parents how the new revenue is being spent. Look out for your local Tuition Relief Now group and join to support your fellow students.
