    • CSU Fee Increases Challenged
      Six students, purportedly acting on behalf of a class of all CSU students, filed suit challenging the May and July 2009 general student university fee increase, the non-resident fee, and the Graduate Business Professional fee, all of which were imposed in the Fall 2009 term. In January 2011, the court certified five students to represent two subclasses: (1) students enrolled on all CSU campuses (except San Luis Obispo, Stanislaus, East Bay and Pomona) who were charged for the Fall term and later required to pay an additional fee increase, and who did not receive financial aid that offset the increase; and (2) graduate business professional students who were charged fees that did not include the Graduate Business Professional Fee and later charged that Fee, and who did not receive any statutory fee waiver. Class members are currently being notified, and will be provided an opportunity to "opt out" of the class, if they so choose.
