University President Stephen Weber decided last week to movewinter session from the College of Extended Studies to statesupported.

What does it mean for students?

Lower fees — a three unit course will now cost students $327instead of $390. Students already enrolled in classes will be sent areimbursement.

The move was made so San Diego State University will hit itstargeted full time equivalent student enrollment projected at 25,240.Without this change, SDSU was 600 FTEs short of its projections. Andnow, it is expected to exceed its target by 200 FTEs.

The school is prepared to take up to 5,000 students for theupcoming winter session. It has not yet been decided whether it willbe permanently state funded.

The College of Extended Studies will not be holding winter sessionclasses this year, but it will continue to have noncredit courses,training classes and special sessions in the spring.

Court’s adjourned

The National Right to Work Foundation went to court to prevent theCalifornia State University Association from collecting so-called”fair-share” fees from CSU workers who do not belong to the union butwho benefit from the union’s bargaining and representation services.

The United States District Court rejected the argument lastTuesday.

This marks a win for the CSEA.
