Cal States have been cutting enrollment since 2008:

If a student is applying to a campus that isn’t impacted, in a major that isn’t impacted, sure, that might be a good bet. Except when suddenly, the Cal State cuts back their anticipated enrollment figures because they can’t meet their budget (but they can give their Presidents pay raises.)

Who will be training the 2016 graduating year’s crop of nurses is anyone’s guess. It won’t be at Cal State.

Our teachers and nurses and engineers are often getting their education at Cal States and this system is falling apart right now.

The reason why Cal States are often safeties for students is because of the financial considerations of attending - many students are commuter students, so they don’t have to live on/near university housing. Not everyone lives on campus as a typical undergrad student, or can afford to, either.

We are cutting community college classes to the bone - look at what’s happening at Santa Monica College - they are going to institute a two tier fee system in the coming months, plus increasing fees.
