The newest proposed increase is an additional $14 to per unit fees. This would make the total price $40 for each unit a student takes. While it is understandable that with budget cuts looming for higher education, something needs to happen to make up the difference, when it is going to stop?

The current cost for a student to attend Cerritos College is estimated at $868 per semester for a full time student (12 units, plus fees and estimated books). At California State University Long Beach, the estimated cost for a full time student is $9,426.

With the addition of the proposed increase, estimated costs would be over a thousand dollars.
