<p>If your parents didn’t vote yes on I-1098 and the other tax bills, don’t ***** about it.</p>

<p>This has been happening to state universities across the US. It finally really ‘hit’ Washington.</p>

<p>Taxpayers don’t want to pick up the tab a bit, less money in the budget, less funding for university, the university hurts, we can accept less in state students while tuition goes up… etc.</p>

<p>From the ASUW president in an email yesterday: </p>

<p>"On Monday myself and several other students testified in Olympia at the House Ways & Means Committee on the proposed budget for 2011-2013. This budget recommends significant funding reductions for UW, tuition hikes, and cuts to financial aid, including:
A $482 million cut to public higher education, $204 million to come from UW. This represents a 32% cut in state funding to UW.</p>

<p>Annual tuition increases of 13% over the next two years for resident undergraduates.
Complete suspension of the Work Study program. …" </p>

<p>and it goes on.</p>
