Mo' money, mo' problems

Oregon's Board of Higher Education approved tuition hikes Friday, averaging close to 7% for students at the state's public universities.... Below is a shot taken of me that appeared in the Oregonian when they raised tuition last year.

The caption reads: Dan Blanchette (right), a graduate student at Portland State University, learns at the cashier's office that his health insurance costs are going up. Blanchette, like many Oregon university students, faces higher tuition this term. With the credit he receives for being a graduate assistant, he will pay about $600 more than last term for the same course load.
