CSU enrollment cut

Our pal Marla Jo Fisher reports (CSU says it will cut enrollment by 10,000 students this year) that the California State University system has announced that it will cut enrollment for the coming year from 460,000 to 450,000.

At last night's meeting of the SOCCCD board of trustees, Saddleback College Academic Senate President Bob Cosgrove noted this trend and suggested that students turned away from the CSU system will naturally turn to the community college system.

Also discussed last night: looming tuition increases both at CSU and community colleges. At the latter, tuition will likely increase first from $20 a credit to $26 and then up to $30.

CSU admission standards are so low that half the students enrolling would be better off at their local community college. Isn't it true that nearly half the new students who enroll in the CSU still need developmental education support in English and Math?

But they're cutting the community college budget too -
