We're not laughing anymore

Remember when we were laughing at how Mo Kashmiri and company sued the university for increased fees, won a settlement, and was then charged higher fees to cover the cost? It's time to spread the pain:

An additional $60 surcharge is expected to be assessed on all UC students to recover losses from a previous lawsuit challenging professional school fee hikes, bringing the total hike to $495 for undergrads. Meanwhile, some UC professional school fees could rise by 10 percent.

Now that law students have finally succeeded at forcing the rest of the university to subsidize their education, let's just stop beating around the bush. It's time for us to start explicitly demanding fee increases on other student groups. Those law school students are too good at suing to nail, but how about the business school? Then the business folks can push for fee increase on law students, using their connections. It'll all work out fine, then.
