Sacramento Bee: California’s college applicants face cuts, fewer choices
A succession of bad news over the past two weeks has turned the college plans of California high school seniors upside down.
The Community College League of California announced that proposed state budget cuts at community colleges could drive away 262,000 students.
Four days later, California State University administrators said they plan to eliminate 10,000 admission spots for the upcoming school year.
Two days after that, University of California regents warned they may limit freshman enrollments next fall.
The timing couldn’t be much worse for high school students in the thick of the college application season – Sunday is the deadline for many students applying to CSU and UC.
