Because the state needs to decide if it wishes to invest in education.
At the CSU, UC, and community colleges, the amount of money it takes
to educate a student exceeds what is taken in through tuition and fees.
The balance is covered by taxpayer money. Since there is only a limited
amount of money budgeted to higher education, there are only a certain
number of students the system can service.

The state of California is in dire straits because of a growing demand
for stilled workers in engineering and computer science, without enough
graduates to fill that demand. At the same time, California is cutting
the budgets of higher education. The state needs to decide if it wishes
to invest in education, if it is to guarantee admission to all
qualified students.

Exactly.
