California State University of San Marcos like other CSUs is faced with a difficult problem of providing quality, accessible higher education to its students. With the Spring 2009 semester coming to a close, many students are await to see how profound the budget cuts and the influx of new students will impact the quality of their education.
Ariel Stevenson, a staff member of Enrollment Management Services had this to say, "CSUSM is in the business of educating students and that's what we intend to continue doing." The goal of the university as a whole is to make sure current students don't feel impact in any way.
Jennie Goldman, Coordinator of New Student Programs in Student Life and Leadership stated that as of May 1, 2009 orientation dates have opened. "It's been open for twelve hours and there are already calls for spot reservations and 336 students have already signed up."
Even with the rumors that CSUSM must have a zero percent growth rate (meaning that the entering number of approved students must be the same number of exiting students), the exact number of incoming students is still uncertain. "We won't know the numbers until after orientation and after all students submit their intent to enroll," Stevenson said.
