Amid protest by students and others, CUNY trustees vote to Raise Tuition

Youth gather at a demonstration. The reason is that they want to raise the annual tuition cost of $ 300 until 2015.
This year, they have risen from $ 5.130 up $ 6.330 in 2015-16 to about $ 500 per year in additional costs.
The angry students took to the streets with drums and banners, saying "CUNY must be free", joining the demonstration teachers and unions. Dr. Goldstein says the increase is intended in part to the protection of the faculty and staff. The protesters claim that CUNY has money to avoid the increase and not go to these lengths.


-I chose this story because I feel very bad the rising cost of tuition for students, since they are the less money you have and want to make a run to a better future. There will come a time when nobody will want to study.
