California: UC Regents Will Be Asked To Trim Freshmen Enrollment, Freeze Pay (Union-Tribune)

"In response to the flagging economy and declining state support, University of California regents this week will consider reducing freshmen enrollment and freezing the pay of nearly 300 top administrators," the Union-Tribune reports. "UC President Mark Yudof has scheduled a special meeting on Wednesday to ask the regents to scale back freshmen admissions by 2,300 for the coming school year. The move would represent a 6 percent rollback to 35,300 new freshmen from around 37,600 admitted in the current year. The reductions would be limited to six UC campuses - San Diego, Davis, Irvine, Riverside, Santa Barbara and Santa Cruz."
