UCLA Tuition Protest Nearly Turns Into Riot

Students enraged by a 32% increase in undergrad tuition at UCLA came together to make their concerns known. Unfortunately, this UCLA tuition protest almost turned violent, with numerous students arrested and a whole lot of posturing on both sides.

While I totally understand their frustration, I cannot help but wonder if those whose parents had adequately saved for college were part of the UCLA tuition protest, or if they were taking the hikes in stride.

If your college planning strategy is simply to protest tuition hikes, you may want to spend some time learning about Section 529 plans and savings strategies!
