Cal State plans to freeze enrollment next spring at most campuses
Facing uncertain budget prospects, California State University officials announced plans to freeze enrollment next spring at most campuses and to wait-list all applicants the following fall pending the outcome of a proposed tax initiative on the November ballot.To read the rest, click here.
The university is moving to reduce enrollment to deal with $750 million in funding cuts already made in the 2011-12 fiscal year and position itself for at least an additional $200-million cut next year if the tax proposal fails.
The move is a high-stakes gambit that could deny tens of thousands of students access to the state's largest public university system; it also pressures voters to support the tax increase. That proposal, backed by Gov. Jerry Brown, is intended to avoid so-called trigger cuts that will dramatically affect the state's public colleges and universities.

Maybe they can start by cutting CSUF's president's half million dollar per year salary?
Meanwhile CSU presidential salary increases are capped at 10%. Boo Hoo. http://www.lbpost.com/life/greggory/1309300336 This is a travesty.
