State University Board To Discuss Enrollment Caps
ADVERTISEMENT
Published: November 11, 2008
When the state university system's Board of Governors meets next week in Tallahassee, it will consider whether to lift the enrollment caps that have sent rejection rates soaring at its 11 schools.
The board voted last year to cap the number of freshmen statewide at about 38,500 — rejecting thousands of qualified applicants — saying they could preserve a diminishing supply of money for the students already enrolled.
Outgoing Chancellor Mark Rosenberg said he wants to preserve the freeze, warning that continued economic woes would only erode educational quality otherwise.
Other members of the board, however, say its time to thaw out room in the freshman class. The souring economy is driving thousands more to a higher education.
The meeting begins at 8:30 a.m. Nov. 20 at the Tallahassee-Leon County Civic Center.
