The details of this last-minute jumble of a budget yield very little for most people to celebrate.

It’s not because states have cut funding for higher education.
Colleges and Universities; Tuition
I cannot follow Mr. Campos' argument.
It appears to be false.
Tuition is paid on an individual basis.
On an individual basis less public money contributes toward tuition.
Total individual tuition has not decreased.
Individual tuition costs have risen.
The rest is noise relative to the premise.
