At Chico State University, since 2008, 13 programs have had admissions suspended.
That means no new students could enroll until the programs were evaluated and decisions were made about whether they should be modified and continue, or be discontinued. Since 2010, 16 programs at Chico State have either been discontinued or are proposed to be discontinued. Sometimes programs are put on the suspended or discontinued lists because enrollment is low or there are no faculty able to teach in them. Sometimes, as in the case of outdoor education, the reason is that there's not enough money to keep programs going. Since 2008, the California State University has lost $1.07 billion in state funding. More budget cuts are expected in the coming year.
