CSU plan to reject locals is protested - Matt Krupnick and Kelly Puente, Contra Costa Times

If you're a Californian interested in taking up graduate studies in January at a California State University campus, think again. But if you live in another state or country, check it out and sign your check. Cal State leaders have told the university's 23 campuses they won't be allowed to admit California graduate students for the spring term, which starts in January. Budget cuts made the system in the spring unable to afford residents' heavily discounted education, campus leaders were told. But nonresident students - who pay considerably higher fees - remain welcome, at least at some campuses. That has become an issue leading some rebellious graduate schools to turn away the non-Californians - and the financial windfall they would bring.
