Cal State funding talks include scenario of turning away freshmen - Carla Rivera, LA Times

The University of California's decision to raise tuition generated much controversy. But the California State system could consider what by some measures is an even more radical plan as it struggles with budget constraints and increasing demand from freshmen and community college transfers. Rather than increasing tuition, Cal State has reduced enrollment targets for this fall. And trustees recently discussed the dark scenario of having to stop accepting freshmen. Those ideas are designed in part to send Sacramento a loud message that the CSU system needs more funding from state government. http://www.latimes.com/local/education/la-me-cal-state-transfers-20141126-story.html
