As California'* population continue* to grow, more and more resident*

fewer than 20 million people in 1970
to nearly 33 million in 1994. an increase of more than 62 percent, at
cording to California Po*t*econdary
Education Commission tCPECi fig

During that time, enrollment in
California universities and colleges
has not kept pace, increasing only 28
percent

been more dramatic While the popu
