California State Budget Crisis Hurting Campus Ministry

25 Aug

I just attempted to enroll at SFSU for the spring 2010 semester, and here’s the message I was given:

Due to the California budget crisis, the California State University is facing an unprecedented reduction in its 2009-2010 support budget.  In order to assure both quality and access, the CSU system must bring enrollment in line with available limited resources by implementing extraordinary enrollment control policies.  As a result, all CSU campuses have been directed that they may not accept any admission applications for the Spring 2010 term for any enrollment category.

San Francisco State will be accepting applications for Fall 2010 from October 1, 2009 to November 30, 2009.

For more information, please check the campus Web site at:

 Grrr – frustrating!

Airiel and I both wanted to enroll in a class or two as soon as we qualified for in-state tuition, but it looks like we’re going to have to put that plan on hold.

Hopefully we’ll be able to get in by the fall … we’ll see.

The state government needs to get it together over here – I’ve never heard of a college turning students away for something like this.

    Are you taking to work toward a degree, or just for ministry purposes? If not, they would probably let you audit. Or the prof might just let you sit in – even especially because of the budget thing.

    Both, but mostly ministry.

    Appreciate the suggestion – we’ll see what shakes out.

    Interesting! Like you said, “We’ll see how it all works out.” We know that God has a plan.
