I'm in California and over a year span, my tuition has increased about 30%. Quite upsetting.

Has the quality of instruction also increased by 30%?

Personally for me, nothing has changed other than I'm paying several of hard-earned hundred dollars more out of my pocket, for nothing extra. In this case, I'm absolutely sure quality doesn't have a direct relationship with cost. Other students have it worse, especially freshmen. Admissions have plummeted, so less students get admitted, about 1000 or more G.E. classes were cut this semester, so longer graduation waits, professors were laid off, so less classes, and we have furlough days twice a month, which means professors must choose two days to stay home and not get paid. So we're paying more, yet receiving less education, which is nonsense.
