State higher ed budget cuts begin to impact San Diego students
By Reem Nour
The California State University system is experiencing the largest budget deficit in its history, with a cut of $584 million. To cope with the budget crisis, the CSU system has increased the student fees by $672 per year; mandated two employee furlough days per month to reduce faculty and staff pay checks by 10 percent; and imposed policies to limit student enrollment.
Opposition to these budget cuts has prompted protests and rallies throughout the state. As Reem Nour reports, students in San Diego who want to get into college are just as concerned as those who are trying to get out.
