California State University will get smaller, have tougher standards
The San Jose Mercury News reports that the California State University system will shrink and institute tougher standards starting next fall.
"For the second time in its century-long history, San Jose State University will shrink the size of its freshman class — accepting all qualified students from Santa Clara County but limiting entry by non-residents, and toughening standards for the most popular majors like engineering, business and nursing. With less state money to support teaching, 2,500 fewer seats will be available at SJSU next fall; last year, the school cut 3,000 seats. The SJSU cutbacks are part of a significant reduction within the entire California State University system."
