SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) -- The head of the California State University system said Monday budget worries will force CSU to eliminate 10,000 admissions spots for the 2009 - 2010 school year.
Students at San Francisco State told KCBS that although they're used to these kinds of budget cuts, the road to graduation is getting rougher.
"We just had a meeting today talking about all the classes that are going to be cut, how many sections will be open and who will be teaching what. It's really bad right now, we're just hoping that it'll play itself out," said Doreen Jones, a psychology student at SF State who's only 25 units away from graduating.
The cuts also mean there will be fewer opportunities for new students to attend CSU schools. "This is a difficult decision that I want the board to discuss on Wednesday, but I think that we're forced into the position that we are," said CSU Chancellor Charles Reed.
The Chancellor said CSU is currently serving 10,000 students for whom it gets no funding, and that it's facing a $97 million funding cut for the current school year.
