CSU System To Reduce Enrollment By 10,000

LONG BEACH (AP) ― California State University, the nation's largest four-year public university system, expects to tighten enrollment by 10,000 students this fall due to funding cuts.

Chancellor Charles Reed said Monday he is setting a limit on enrollment at the system's 23 campuses, with priority given to students within the campus' geographic area. Students from outside the area will go on a waiting list and be ranked by grades and test scores.

Students who meet requirements but don't get in could be offered a place at another campus, but officials expect many would go elsewhere or to community college.

Reed, who will discuss the plan with CSU trustees Wednesday, expects enrollment to drop from the current 460,000 to 450,000.
