'Student success fees' part of California budget debate - ALEXEI KOSEFF, Fresno Bee

Directly challenging Gov. Jerry Brown's budget priorities, Senate and Assembly committees last week proposed spending another $95 million to $100 million for California State University next year. CSU has been asking for the additional funding boost since January, when Brown suggested an increase of $125 million, or 5 percent, for the system in 2014-15. But the Legislature's propsoed added funding would come with a condition -- a moratorium on the controversial "student success fees" that have spurred protests at campuses across the state in the past few months. http://www.fresnobee.com/2014/05/27/3946732/capitol-alert-student-success.html
