declining enrollment, costs going up, a valid question is should the CS close down a campus or 2 or 3.

Bakerfield has been stagnant, albeit one could argue the Valley has been where growth in California continues

Cal State Channel Islands might not have been a good decision. Students hate it. NOrthridge is the closest, given between UCSB & NOrthridge

Was Cal State Monterey Bay needed? at least students like it and not remote like CSCI

they tried to do a make-over calling Humboldt a Polytechnic, lol, which is nothing more than a new paint job, it's not really a Polytechnic and never was. but that is how the State seems to think nowadays



have to wonder about the ability of those leading our State as to their ability to make tough decisions - don't close down some Cal States, that might make it tougher for some.

Bake should have never been added to teh Big West, a decision of leadership that is Least Common Denominator thinking

so they'll raise fees, nope they won't cut back on majors that feed political ideologies, ....mush thinking will prevail

I'd close down Cal State Channel Islands to begin with, then maybe Bake or Cal State East Bay, will they cut admin by 10% as an option since enrollment is down 5%?? hmmm

Jucos are struggling in places for students - of course it's hard for our State to admit to any structural issues and facing them as a solution, better for the Govenor to complain about Florida than address issues first in California

rant over!
