Cal State threatens to withhold $7 million from Northridge campus - Larry Gordon, Los Angeles Times

Cal State says CSUN must reduce current enrollment to abide by budget-related targets or risk losing the funding. Students and faculty at Cal State Northridge are protesting new budget-related restrictions that are aimed at reducing enrollment and are making it harder to register for classes at the San Fernando Valley campus. In the fall semester, the school enrolled several thousand more students than the target set by the Cal State system's central administration in response to cutbacks in state funding. Now the system is threatening to withhold $7 million from the 34,000-student campus if it doesn't partly roll back enrollment for the current spring semester by the equivalent of 2,800 full-time students, officials said.
