The potential effects of California State University's (CSU) 1988 freshman admission requirements are evaluated in a CSU's report and in commentary on the report by the California Postsecondary Education Commission. Attention is directed to eight concerns expressed by the California Legislature regarding the potential impact of the new course requirements. CSU's report responds to each of the eight items. The Commission's commentary quotes the legislative concern, summarizes CSU's response, and offers the Commission's conclusions about the response. Despite CSU's effort to assure wide access to students in the top one-third of the high school graduating class, the Commission has questions about both the availability of high school courses and the course-taking patterns of students. The Commission recommends: clarifying the role of course requirements in determining student eligibility, and structuring future reviews of the impact of the requirements in order to minimize their constraints on access. CSU's report includes a list of 447 public schools having 25% or more minority enrollment, grouped by CSU campus service area. (SW)
