On the eve of the the CSU's announcement that 10,000 qualified students would be shown the door this year CSUN expects to see a decrease of 1,100 in its full-time student enrollment.
CSUN isn't going to see the worst of it though, according to a Daily News article, because under the CSU's plan students living near or around each campus will have first priority. CSUN in fact will end the enrollment period on Nov. 30, when it used to go into winter and at times spring.
CSUN provost Harry Hellenbrand said that for the moment the campus is not considering any tuition hikes, however they may be enacted in the nearby future.
The most impacted campuses, like CSUN, are looking for ways to help students graduate faster even at the expense of their education, which include lack course requirements as well as expelling students with a poor academic standing.
As far as the numbers go this is what the Daily News reported on:
"California's 2008-09 budget grants the Cal State system $215 million less than what officials say it needs to cover current enrollment growth and expenses. Now the CSU system is looking at a midyear cut of $66.3million in addition to a $31.3million one-time cut that was approved by trustees last month."
We can expect more packed classes and a lower level of education due to the increase in students and the decrease in funding.
