Cal State Plans to Cut Enrollment and Limit Admissions to 8 Campuses

The California State University system, hit hard again by cuts in state support, announced today that it would reduce enrollment next year, the Associated Press reports. Only eight of the system’s 23 campuses will admit students for the spring term of 2013, and admission will be reserved for students seeking to transfer from the state’s community colleges. In all the system plans to cut 20,000 to 25,000 students out of an overall enrollment of 417,000, if a plan to raise revenue championed by Gov. Jerry Brown fails to win voter approval this year.
