CSU Non-Resident Enrollment Citing $750
million in funding cuts in the past few years, the Cal State system
has announced it will close admissions for the spring 2013 semester
except for a select group of students, mainly those who have earned
an Associate Degree for Transfer from a California Community
College. However, Cal State leadership has given individual
campuses the discretion to admit out-of-state students who pay
higher fees, a decision that is causing an upset among students and
faculty who believe non-resident students are being given priority
over Californian students because they can pay for it.
