<p>SSobick, transfer admissions are being cut pretty dramatically. The department I am transferring into (CISE) only had two spots open for transfers, and that is for all three majors in the dept. In previous years there were as many as 15 spots. That is a pretty big cut. </p>
<p>The reason the junior college was concieved was to take some of the strain off of universities. Not having to concentrate on so many students for lower level courses allows the universities to concentrate on the more important upper level courses and grad schools. Kind of like outsourcing of education. Of course, this doesn’t really work very well in our state because the universities need to have very high enrollment to receive funding…</p>
<p>“I also find it unfair that they are having to reduce the size of incoming classes at the expense of the FTIC freshmen because the Legislature refuses to pay their fair share”…All I have to say is…Bright..Futures..is..a..broken..system…Bright Futures can pretty much be blamed for all of the financial hardship our SUS is facing.</p>
<p>I definitely agree with you about SFCC needing to be on the same level with other CCs.</p>
