"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! Chancellor Reed :(562) 951-4700, Fax: 562 951-4986. CSU Board of Trustees: (562) 951-4020 Fax: (562) 951-4949. Email: CReed at calstate.edu.
