"In the  end," said Dr. King, "we will remember not the words of our 
enemies, but the  silence of our friends...Injustice anywhere is a threat to 
justice everywhere." 

What is the issue? 
The administration at SDSU  eliminated the long-standing policy of 
guaranteeing admission to CSU-qualified  local students two weeks before the Fall 
2010 application deadline for SDSU. Up  until then students who met CSU 
eligibility requirements were admitted into  SDSU. The new policy set a 
quota/limit on the number of local students admitted  to the campus . This year alone, 
1740 qualified local students were denied  admission to SDSU outright. 

What can you do?
Individually or with  others, write and call Chancellor Charles Reed and 
the CSU Board of Trustees.  The message is simple: "Order SDSU to terminate 
its new policy; restore the  local student admit guarantee policy now!
