Fernandes, Kathy; Christie, Brett; Bayard, Jean-Pierre; Kennedy, Leslie – Change: The Magazine of Higher Learning, 2019
In 2013, with a 30% state budget cut after the Great Recession, many of the 450,000 California State University (CSU) students across the 23-campus system were unable to enroll in courses they needed to move closer to graduation; there was a lack of available course sections. In addition to a reduced number of seats available for students, 30% to…
