California State University officials announced on Tuesday that the system would enroll 10,000 fewer students next year because of an anticipated state-budget cut of $500-million, or 18 percent. The enrollment cut, which would get more severe if a package of tax extensions is not approved by California voters, would continue to shrink the state’s higher-education system. The system also plans to eliminate more faculty and staff positions and cut $11-million from the system office. A study released on Monday by the University of Southern California’s Center for Higher Education Policy Analysis says California should take steps to sharply increase enrollment at its private institutions to make up for the inability of public colleges to accommodate enough students.
