When will the nightmare end?

These first few weeks of school in CSUN have been like a free-for-all fight for many students because of the difficult predicament that the school finds itself in. The school enrolled about 3,000 more students that it was supposed to and now many students are fighting for a seat in a class they might need to advance towards their major. Permission numbers, which are needed to add a class, are frozen and this forces many students to take a part-time role because they can't get enough classes in their schedule. Getting a part-time role might reduce the amount of financial aid for some students who might desperately need the money. About 2,800 students are in danger of being dropped from the university if it doesn't receive the necessary funding it needs to support all it's students. Many groups have gathered to protest against the injustice because this “freeze” might delay their graduation date by a whole semester. It's safe to assume that many of these “endangered” individuals are sophomores I say this because freshmen get priority to chose their classes since they're new to the school and seniors get priority because they're on their way to graduation. This puts the juniors and sophomores at the end of the line. Juniors might have more opportunities because they are on their way to becoming seniors so this leaves the sophomores in dead last. With the budget cuts, it's hard enough to find a class and graduate in four years but when problems like these arise, it makes it seem impossible. Many of these students have shed much work and effort so that they can achieve their goals. Many have sacrificed so much and it is terrible that they are being denied the right to study in such an unfair manner. Where is all the money that the students paid to attend the school? How is it being invested? How is it that the school needs 7 million dollars to keep so many students from being dropped. What's going to happen to all of these students who came in with ambitions and dreams of achieving success in their lives? I understand the pressure that the school board might be facing and the stress that it must be under. Dropping so many students, however, is not the way to go. It's not the student's fault that the school went over their cap and landed in a 7 million dollar deficit Nor is it fair that the students are now in danger of paying for a some unnecessary extra semesters which are also rising in costs. I do hope that this issue gets resolved soon. I'm currently a second semester freshmen. This means that if the problem doesn't get resolved soon, I might be in danger next year. From personal experience, I can identify with many of these students and their families. Going against the current is never easy but it's never been impossible either. Situations like these can brake a person and one must ask: When will the nightmare end?
