We Have the Seats!

Fresno State’s Math and Science Department is not allowing further enrollment of students into any of its classes. In Dr. Haber’s Biology 20 there are a record 17 open seats, which the students are not allowed to fill.

This is preposterous. Biology 11 has enough willing students to fill an entire extra lab. These restrictions extend to other majors within the Math and Science College. But this problem is not one of willingness to teach. The instructors want the seats to be filled and the students want to fill them.

The state administration is once again hindering our education by lowering enrollment and forbidding students that want to learn from doing just that.

The state has shoved down our enrollment ceiling so far that the university has more students than class spaces. This is an infringement on the education we pay for and, therefore is a problem.

The students of Fresno State need to pull out the picket signs once again and the politicians need to know that this is not acceptable.
