Cal State trustees raise scenario of transfer-only university system - CARLA RIVERA, LA Times

Cal State trustees, warning on effect of funding shortfall, raise scenario of turning away all new freshmen Could California State University one day limit enrollment to transfers, admitting burgeoning numbers of community college students but turning away new freshmen? The idea sounds far-fetched, but that scenario was raised Tuesday by trustees who cautioned that insufficient state funding could radically reduce the mission of the nation's largest university system. The warning came during a discussion of the preliminary 2015-16 budget, which predicted growing demand for the 23-campus system. The Cal State system drew a record 761,000 applications for the fall 2014 term. http://www.latimes.com/local/education/la-me-cal-state-trustees-20140910-story.html
