New Poll: Californians Oppose Fee Hikes, Support Increased Public Funding for Higher Ed
California residents oppose fee hikes at the state’s public colleges and universities by a two-to-one margin, according to a new poll, and 57% believe that state spending on public higher education should be given a boost.
The poll, released yesterday, found that 62% of Californians oppose raising tuition in the UC and Cal State systems and the state’s community colleges, with just 35% supporting such increases.
Nearly half (49%) of all respondents said they would be willing to pay more in taxes to support higher education
