I Don't Care if Your Eligible We're Packed!

At least 10,000. That's how many applicants will be denied entry to California State Universities, even if they are eligible. CSU Chancellor Charles Reed got the go ahead from the governing Board of Trustees, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

This is the first time 48 years that they plan on refusing eligible students. The reasoning behind this that CSU's don't have the funds to meet the demands of so many students.

"State legislators enacted $215 million in CSU budget cuts in September, and the chancellor agreed to $31 million in additional concessions last month. The governor has now proposed $66 million in midyear budget cuts, with the prospect of deeper cuts next year."

The CSU community argued that by investing in the state's higher education they are investing in the state of California, but it fell on deaf ears as the budget cuts continued to come.

But since classes are becoming more crowded and students are taking longer to graduate in part because of it the current priority is the 319,000 currently enrolled students.
