UC's freshman class drops 6.8%, meeting regents' goal - Larry Gordon, LA Times

Freshman enrollment at the University of California will be 6.8% lower this fall, a drop of 2,603 students from last year that closely matches a reduction the university sought because of budget shortfalls, UC officials said Tuesday. In all, 35,435 students from California and other states have told one of UC's nine undergraduate campuses that they intend to enroll as fall freshmen, compared with 38,038 last year.
