Making it even tougher for potential mid-year starters, the seven Cal State campuses on the quarter system or with a winter term stopped taking applications last week for first-time winter enrollment. So, any slow-moving potential applicant for the 2009-10 school year is now out of luck, except in those cases where Cal States maintain spring transfer agreements with community colleges, said spokeswoman Claudia Keith. 'We are looking at any way we can to reduce enrollment,' Keith said. She said administrators hope to cut Cal State's overall enrollment of 450,000 students by 40,000 over the next two years as a way to cope with a shortfall in state funding. Cal State system chancellor Charles B. Reed said this week he would seek an additional student fee hike of 15 percent to 20 percent for this fall on top of a 10 percent increase already approved. The Cal State Board of Trustees is scheduled to vote later this month on the extra fee hike and other austerity measures such as a two-day-a-month furlough plan for university employees.
