08-09 State Budget Update
Governor Schwarzenegger released the 2008-09 budget on January 10. Faced with a growing $14.5 billion state budget deficit, the Governor has proposed a $312.9 million cut to the CSU budget approved by the board of trustees for the 2008-09 fiscal year. In addition, the $73.2 million in General Fund revenue that is needed to buy out a student fee increase was not included in the Governor’s proposed budget. If the proposed budget is approved, the CSU budget will fall short of full compact funding by $386 million. Read full story.
