San Jose Mercury News : Almost no one knows that this fall, San Jose State University will absorb one-third of all student enrollment cuts in the 23-campus California State University system. Enrollment will decrease systemwide by 10,000 students; San Jose State will account for 3,000 to 3,500 of that decrease âmdash; a shocking statistic. To do this, the university will drastically curtail admissions. Compared with fall 2008, it will accept 25 percent fewer freshmen, 33 percent fewer community college transfers and 20 percent fewer graduate students. No other CSU campus will incur enrollment cuts of this magnitude.
