Less is More at Public Universites
Susan Li, a senior at the University of California Los Angeles, needed three classes to qualify for financial aid but one week before the start of classes, she had only registered herself in one class because the school was not offering the courses she needed.
The classes were full or not being offered and if she cannot complete what is needed to graduate, she doubts that she can afford a fifth year as she already has $8,000 in student loans.
The school faces a $131 million budget deficit this year and this student is one of many who is feeling the pinch. UCLA has cut 165 classes which is a ten percent reduction. Ms. Li joined hundreds of other students in a protest against these cutbacks and a rise in tuition fees.
UCLA is not alone in this pinch as universities across the nation are cutting back college classes and putting students in peril of graduating during these tough economic times. In spite of this, more and more people wish to attend college and the large flagship schools are attracting more students then every before.
