Facing reductions in state funding, public universities from Michigan to Arizona to North Carolina have slashed budgets and hiked tuition. The most extreme case is California where University of California regents voted this week to increase tuition a whopping 32% to more than $10,000 annually — a three-fold increase in a decade. The move was greeted by student demonstrations.

Michael Hawley spoke through his bullhorn, "We want one regent to come out to speak to us about why the world's richest country will be denying some students higher education next quarter."

UCLA Sophomore Chiemela Okwandu told the crowd, "This is our university. We can sleep here if we want."

Veronica Hernandez, who grew up in East LA and attends UC Riverside, said, "It took a long time for minorities to increase their numbers at the University of California. Now those numbers are going to go down."

Last but not least, I know granola liberals have a hard time figuring something like this out but:

UC President Mark G. Yudof said the tuition increase is unfortunate: "When you have no money, you have no money."

I love it. I absolutely love it. The granola Whole Food dreadlock Bob Marley worshipping liberals are finally getting a dose of reality. Oh gosh let's see ...tax the White taxpayer base to death, bring in tons of illegals and give them free shit at said taxpayer expensive and what do you expect? You think your world will still be the same, just more "brown and beautiful" or something?
