Rutgers University is New Jersey's Largest University. And, it seems they are doing their darndest to change that.
Rutgers will cut nearly 800 classes and 750 jobs as well as several sports programs in order to stay in the black.
And, they will raise tuition = the students are being asked to pay MORE for LESS.
By the time students pay in-state tuition costs, mandatory fees, dorm costs and such, the average Rutger student's parent will need to shell out about $19,000, making it one of the most expensive state universities in the country.
The Rutgers Board of Governors said they had no choice but to raise tuition for its 50,000 student body because the state cut their funding by $66 million.
Poor rich school.
Can't get the money given them by the state, so they squeeze it out of it students.
Let's see, pay more taxes or pay more tuition?
What do you think?

I go to Rutgers and the increase in tuition sucks pretty bad. It's pretty sad the state can't do more for something as important as education. Mix in the ever increasing cost of college in general and you've got yourself a Jersey mess.
