To handle the growth, the university will build facilities at a satellite site and impose early applica- tion deadlines, Robert Palmer, vice president of student affairs, told the Associated Students Board of Directors Tuesday. No new growth will occur on the Fullerton campus. Instead, new support services will be added at the El Toro site. To curb rising enrollment, the university already has stopped accepting transfer applications for the fall 2002 semester. “We’ve decided not to grow anymore,” Palmer said. “But we can’t give up the responsibility of providing access to education.” The Student Affairs Division oversees numerous pro- grams, including financial aid, adult re-entry and AS. Palmer said that the division is also monitoring progress of a construction project that will add dorm space for 400 students on the Fullerton campus. Construction is underway and should be completed by fall 2002, he said. “No more barrack-style dorms,” Palmer said. “These are state-of-the-art apartments.” The board also heard a report from Dante Gomez, AS director of statewide affairs. Gomez and seven other AS officers attended the California Higher Education Student Summit from March 2-4 in Sacramento. The delegates attended workshops on leadership, marketing and network- ing. They will use some of the information to implement new programs on campus, Gomez said. The board gave the delegates $1,042.22 on Feb. 5 to pay for registration, transportation and hotel expenses.
