The increase in fees amounts to about $4,800 for the average student in the Cal State system. The amount does not include books or room and board.
The state university system has also agreed to reduce enrollment by 32,000 students the following year.
In addition to the increases, /*California State University Chancellor Charles Reed*/ is proposing cuts to the system of $192 million. He says the district could also be facing mass layoffs if a furlough plan does not go through.
State school officials also say that students may get some of the increase covered through financial aid and an education tax, which was part of the /*federal stimulus*/ passed by the /*Obama*/ administration.
