Just received this email from the UCSU today.
Yikes.
Colorado is officially 50th, DEAD LAST, in the nation for per-pupil spending on higher education. In the past two and a half years, our higher education budget has been cut by over 50%, and it's only going to get worse. Currently, CU-Boulder receives less than 5% of its funding from the state, which is not enough to sustain our school without tuition and fee increases.
Yikes.
