Cal State Student Success Fees

The LA Times reports that an increasing amount of the colleges are now charging a "student success" fee in addition to normal tuition.  The cost ranges from 200 to 500 dollars a semester.  They report:

They are called "student success fees" and they offer the promise of more classes and programs and improved graduation rates for thousands of California State University students. But critics say they are a thinly veiled attempt to shift more education costs to students — without increasing tuition.

Campuses in Fullerton, Dominguez Hills, Fresno and San Diego all are considering these charges, ranging from $200 to $500 per semester.
