California State University tuition could climb to $2,985 if voters reject the sales tax on the ballot this November. There’s a lot at stake for California State Universities on the November ballot. Attending one of the university systems’ 23 campuses could be more expensive, tougher to get in to or tuition could even be reduced, depending on what voters decide for the pending tax measure. Gov. Jerry Brown’s ballot measure on the November ballot would increase the sales tax and taxes on upper-income earners. If approved, the measure could generate $8.5 billion in revenues and funds would be set aside for education, including the Cal State system. If the tax fails there are automatic reductions for education spending, referred to as trigger cuts.
