CSU Faculty: State Budget Means Too Many Students Are Turned Away - Megan Burks, KPBS

In 2017, San Diego State University had to turn away about 90 percent of its undergraduate applicants. Across the California State University system, 31,000 students who qualified for a spot didn’t get one. That’s why CSU administrators and the system’s faculty union are calling on Gov. Jerry Brown to offer more in his May budget revision. His proposal this month would up spending on higher education by three percent, adding about $92 million from the general fund to the CSU budget — less than a third of what Chancellor Timothy White requested and about a fifth of what the California Faculty Association union would like to see. http://www.kpbs.org/news/2018/jan/15/csu-faculty-state-budget-means-too-many-students-a/
