California State University trustees will vote Wednesday on raising fees by $498, or about 9 percent, for fall 2012.

The tuition increase is part of the university’s larger plan for its 2012-13 budget. Trustees are also voting Wednesday on a proposal to ask the state for $2.4 billion in funding next year, an increase of $330 million over this year. If all of it comes through, CSU will not implement the tuition hike.
