Eight of the CSU campuses will accept a few hundred transfer students from community colleges, but the thousands of students would be turned away in an effort to bridge a $750 million budget shortfall.
Should voters turn down Gov. Jerry Brown's propsed tax increase in November of this year, another $200 million will need to be cut.
"The idea again is that we're trying to reduce our enrollment to better match the funding available based on massive budget cuts we've received in the last several years," Michael Uhlenkamp, a CSU spokesman, told ABC 30.
The Cal State system has 427,000 students and 44,000 faculty and staff that churns out the largest share of bachelor degrees in California.
Both Cal State and the University of California system have been forced to grapple with the severe budget cuts coming from Sacramento. Last Fall, CSU schools voted to raise tuition 9.1 percent, up to $5,970 for Fall 2012 and triple the cost from a decade ago.
The move resulted in massive student protests and clashes with university police.

CSU copies UC Berkely by freezing qualified instate admissions. UC Berkeley Chancellor Birgeneau pulls back access and affordability to Californians. Qualified instate applicants to public Cal. are replaced by a $50,600 payment from born abroad foreign and out of state affluent students. And, Birgeneau subsidizes foreign and out of state tuition in the guise of diversity while he doubles instate tuition/fees.
University of California Berkeley is not increasing enrollment. Birgeneau accepts $50,600 foreign students and displaces qualified instate Californians (When depreciation of tax funded assets are included (as they should be), out of state and foreign tuition is more than $100,000 + and does NOT subsidize instate tuition). Going to Cal. is now more expensive than Harvard, Yale. Like Coaches, Chancellors who do not measure-up must resign.
More recently, UC Berkeley Chancellor Birgeneau’s campus police deployed excessive force - rammed baton jabs - on students protesting Birgeneau’s doubling of tuition. The sky will not fall when Birgeneau and his $450,000 salary are ousted. Opinions make a difference; email UC Board of Regents marsha.kelman@ucop.edu
