UC Regents raise fees 32 percent; NSHE next?

University of California system regents raised fees by 32 percent today (link). It's only a matter of time before Nevada students see similar fee hikes. Nevada is still plunging deeper into recession (when do we start calling it a depression?) and we rank among California, Arizona, and Michigan as the states most in fiscal peril, according to the Pew Center (link).

As the ASUN senators are considering what to do with ASUN President Eli Reilly's $75 per semester fee package, they might want to start thinking of the tuition and fees battle that is on the horizon. Some have called Nevada's budget crisis worse than California's. If that's so, similar double-digit fee increases are not out of the question. Now that to me sounds like something students care about.
