Budget deal has been reached but our work isn’t done!
On Thursday, February 19, 2009, the legislature adopted a package of 34 bills that address the $41 billion shortfall and economic downturn in California. This included a $66 million cut to the CSU that we anticipated, but fought to the last moment.
As part of the budget solution package the legislature placed seven issues on the ballot – six for May 19 and one for June 2010. The Alliance for the CSU is grateful to all those who have participated in advocating for our state university system. Because of your hard work, the system was able to avoid an even greater budgetary setback. But our work is not nearly done, we must continue to advocate for proper CSU funding!
Please join with us in continuing to advocate for the CSU and for the future of our state!
