University of California tuition increase

Tuition at UC schools will increase by 32% next year.  Students organized a protest and the Orange County Register quotes some students who say the increase will force them to drop out. But wait, according to the same article, UC President Mark Yudof doesn't expect to lose any students because one-third of the fee increase will go to what? Expanding FINANCIAL AID!
Yes, that's right. Taking a cue from our Socialist-in-training state and federal government, UC plans to spread the wealth around and increase the burden of those families that actually PAY tuition in order to increase financial aid to those who don't.
I understand haves vs have-nots. But what happens when the "haves" don't have anymore?
