Student Rebellion? Fees At Issue With Fresno State, Other CSU Campuses

Fresno State
An architectural rendering of the proposed new student union at Fresno State.

Earlier this year Fresno State students rejected a proposal that would have raised student fees $400 a year in order to build a new student union. While a scaled-back proposal is due to go back before students in early 2018, this year's vote has sent ripples across the CSU system. As EdSource senior correspondent Larry Gordon reports, students across the system are growing increasingly concerned with student fees. He joined us to talk about the trend system-wide.
