Big win for California: the CSU just saw its biggest enrollment jump in a decade — enrolling over 471,000 students this fall.
That means more first-generation students, more transfer students & more Californians making their dreams come true.
Proud of our CSU community!

I opposed yesterday’s UC tuition increase because students shouldn’t be the solution to structural deficits.
Californians are struggling to afford basic necessities. Raising tuition only pushes the dream to pursue higher education further out of reach.
