Cal State enrollment could be frozen LOS ANGELES, March 20 (UPI) -- California State University officials said they plan to halt enrollment at most of the system's 23 campuses pending the outcome of a proposed tax initiative. The system has had to contend with a $750 million funding cut for the 2011-12 fiscal year and is bracing itself for at least another $200 million cut next year if the tax proposal fails on the November ballot, the Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday. Eight campuses -- Channel Islands, Chico, East Bay, Fullerton, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Bernardino and Sonoma -- would still accept a few hundred students transferring from community colleges in spring 2013, the newspaper said. Usually about 70,000 prospective students apply to Cal State campuses for the spring semester, with about 16,000 enrolling. School officials said the system will not make early admission decisions for the spring and will tell all applicants their admittance is conditioned on the outcome of the proposal. Enrollment for fall 2013 could also be affected by the November decision. "We need to keep some balance between the number of students we're enrolling and serving and the resources we have," Robert Turnage, Cal State assistant vice chancellor for budget, said. If we let everyone in who is eligible, the quality of services that students get and the quality of programs for everyone plunges.
