<p>UCLA</a> to Discuss Cost-Cutting in Admissions - The Paper Trail (usnews.com)</p>

A UCLA committee composed of students and school officials will meet to discuss budget-tightening tactics that could significantly affect admissions for some, especially transfer students

One way the university could reduce enrollment would be to accept transfers only from community colleges, as opposed to four-year colleges.

The committee also will discuss boosting enrollment of out-of-state and international students, who pay higher tuition and would give the school more cash in hand.</p>
<p>The committee will submit its final suggestions to the chancellor in December.

<p>I'm all for this as it doesn't affect a majority of us. Over the plan to take more out of state students, since they pay more.</p>
<p>I wouldn't put so much emphasis on this article. At the UCLA TAP conference, a student asked the undergraduate admissions coordinator about the cuts and she said - "as of right now, we don't have any plans for that occurring." </p>
<p>maybe in the near future though. but not for fall 09 ppl.</p>
<p>I asked an UCLA rep.. it's more of a Cal State thing.</p>
<p>I think all the UC's are making big cuts, so I believe they're taking in alot less people this coming year. If arnold schwarnegger's budget cuts legislation goes through, they're have even GREATER cuts. I think the number of students that they won't take in due to this.. is like around 58,000. (If i remember correctly from the article.) :(</p>
<p>I remember reading that the UC's have a funding formula that lasts until 2011 and therefore I would be surprised if they do any enrollment cuts. Cal State schools are getting serious budget cuts though, and will have to start turning students down (which makes the schools more competitive and hopefully a higher quality though).</p>
