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. <BR><BR>What can you do?<BR>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@calstate.edu.<BR>
