A proposal to help find spots for Cal State applicants who are shut out of the most popular campuses passed a key committee Tuesday at the trustees meeting in Long Beach.
The trustees are expected to vote Wednesday on the plan to chip away at a problem so serious that about 32,000 eligible applicants were turned away from the nation’s largest public university system last fall because of oversubscribed programs and campuses.
Six of the system’s 23 campuses are in such high demand that each of their programs has more qualified applicants than can be accommodated.
In his 2017-18 budget, Gov. Jerry Brown gave the university system a one-time funding boost. But under the budget bill signed by the Legislature, Cal State officials had to commit to work on enrollment problems.
