RESOLVED:     That the Academic Senate of the California State University urge the Trustees of the
                          CSU to adhere to the following principles when considering a policy for managing
                          enrollment:
 . Maintaining a balanced program and a quality curriculum shall be the guiding principle of CSU/
        campus enrollment management policies and admission priorities.
 . Eligible students shall be allowed to matriculate at the campus of their choice if a place is available
        at that campus.
.  Campuses shall be permitted to adopt enrollment management practices (within system guidelines
        and through shared governance procedures) which allow them to develop, preserve, and
        enhance their distinctive missions, academic programs, and unique campus-based experences
        for students.
 . Every effort shall be made to secure sufficient funding to avoid campuses impaction while
        maintaining quality.
.  Measures taken to increase enrollment capacity shall be consistent with the maintenance
        of student achievement and a high quality of the students campus-based experiences.
 . Increasing enrollment capacity implies new capital investment in classrooms, laboratories, libraries,
        and housing. The development of off-campus centers shall be in tandem with the development,
        maintenance and enhancement of CSU campus facilities.
 . Increasing enrollment capacity - throughscheduling more off-campus, night, weekend, and summer
        classes, and by increased use of technology-mediated instruction and distance education may
        assist in enrollment management, but shall be done in a manner that does not increase faculty
        workload or limit the ability of faculty to carry out their other professional obligations, including
        those of scholarship and service. As new, perhaps as yet untried, ways of increasing capacity are
        experimented with, the same consideration must be given to their effects on other important
        academic functions.
 . Enrollment management criteria and procedures will not have the effect of reducing diversity on
        any given campus.
 . "CSU eligible" should continue to be defined the same way throughout the system.
 . Students may be given  priority consideration, but not a guarantee, of admission to a local campus if
        attendance at a more distant campus would create a hardship.
 . Enrollment management procedures should include broad outreach efforts to ensure diversity of
        applications.

RATIONALE:     Enrollment management criteria and procedures can have a dramatic impact on the
                            ability of the CSU to fulfill its mission. The faculty believes that these policies will
                            ensure a continued commitment to quality, access, and affordability during the
                            difficult times ahead as enrollment pressures increase.
