Hundreds of CUNY Students Protest Over Tuition Hikes

Some City University of New York students are outraged after a decision to raise tuition costs. The University’s board of Trustees voted to raise the tuition by 31 percent over the next four years. Yesterday, hundreds of students unhappy with this decision came out to protest near Baruch College on Lexington avenue in Gramercy. Four students were arrested during the protest, two were charged with reckless endangerment, one for harassment, and the other for disorderly conduct.
