The California State University faced budget cuts after the 2008 financial crisis. The budget cuts resulted in a need for CSU Sacramento to reduce student enrollment, a reversal of the historical trend to increase matriculations.

The primary research conducted was the spatial analysis of new matriculations over a five-year period beginning in 2008.
