8 The University of California Libraries If the 60's provided a startling change from the 50's, however, the 70's did no less so when compared with the 60's. The University's 1971 Growth Plan Task Force report noted that the 1970 Census pointed to a sharp downward shift in the birth rate and in immigration to California as well. The report anticipated that some growth would continue, but at a much reduced rate (graduate enrollment at the University had already begun to fall short of predicted levels). By this time, too, it was clear that the State was unlikely to have either the will or the funds to enable the University to expand at the rate anticipated in 1969. Plans for additional campuses were dropped, and enrollment projections for the new campuses and for Riverside were revised sharply downward: to 13,700 for Irvine, to 11,900 for San Diego, to 10,500 for Santa Cruz, and to 12,600 for Riverside. For campuses that had been told only two years earlier to plan for 25,000 students (27,500 in the case of Santa Cruz), these were drastic changes in direction. Departments were caught half-formed, building plans were thrown awry, and even campus missions required re-thinking. Nor was the full extent of the change yet clear. By the time the 1974 Academic Plan was published, it had become obvious that further downward revision would be necessary, and the University's current estimates have reduced the levels slightly further. Table 3 compares the plans of 1969, 1971, and 1974 with current projections for enrollment in 1980. Actual enrollment through 1975/77 and current (1976) enrollment projections to 1984/85 are shown in Table 4. Present Characteristics. Enrollment projections are important, because they play a key role in preparing the University's budget, and the changes in enrollment projections over the last two decades have had a marked effect on the nature of the University and its planning. Other factors are equally important, however, and have at least as much effect on the character of the institution and its planning. The Faculty. Certainly the most important characteristic is the nature of the faculty, since the caliber of the faculty is the major determinant of the quality of the University's academic programs. On this score, the University is without peer. It leads all institutions in the world in the number of Nobel Laureates on its faculty. More than
