Proposed Construction of San Diego State University's North County Center. A Report to the Governor and Legislature in Response to a Request for Capital Funds from the California State University To Build a Permanent Off-Campus Center of San Diego State University in San Marcos. Commission Report 87-5.
California State Postsecondary Education Commission, Sacramento.
A proposal by the trustees of California State University to purchase a 350- to 400-acre site for a permanent upper-division and graduate off-campus center of San Diego State University in the city of San Marcos is considered. The proposal is evaluated in light of criteria contained in "Guidelines and Procedures for Review of New Campuses and Off-Campus Centers" of the California State Postsecondary Education Commission. The question of whether the north county area needs only an off-campus center or a full four-year campus is discussed. Strengths and weaknesses of the proposal and recommendations regarding the center are considered. Two principal findings are: (1) because the need for expanded educational services in the North San Diego County area is great, the legislature and governor should provide funds in the 1987 Budget Act to purchase a large site for eventual use of the center; but (2) because of deficiencies in the State University's proposal regarding the center's projected enrollment, academic master plan, and services to the disadvantaged, the legislature and governor should approve no funds for development of the site until the Commission concludes that these deficiencies have been corrected.
