California College Layoffs Complicate Student Schedules - the California College News Team
The California college budget crisis has forced the lay offs of many teachers, which has resulted in a reduction of classes across CSU and UC campuses throughout the state. California State University schools have been hit extremely hard, with all campuses facing some sort of faculty cutbacks and budget cuts. This results in more students in fewer classes, which is why many California college students at CSU campuses have been unable to get into certain classes they need. At the same time there were tuition and fee increases taking place, which compounded with class reduction has made thousands of students very angry. There have been major protests recently with students, faculty, and citizens, showing their frustration with the budget issues and reduction of college classes.
