Prop 55: How it Affects Cal State Fullerton

On March 2, the state’s citizens will have the chance to vote on Proposition 55, the companion measure to Proposition 47, the 2004 School Bond Measure. If this bond measure is successful, Cal State Fullerton would received more than $50 million--$47.4 million to construct and equip a new College of Business and Economics building, as well as $3.5 million to furnish and equip the new Performing Arts Center currently under construction.

The university’s College of Business and Economics, one of the nation’s largest, awards nearly 1,500 graduate and undergraduate degrees each year. A new building will allow Cal State Fullerton to ensure an optimal learning environment. Funding will pay for: • dedicated space for centers of learning • state-of-the-art classrooms • interactive technology • faculty offices • multimedia lecture halls

At the new Performing Arts Center, the bond measure funds would assist in the purchase of: • monitors • seating • classroom and stage equipment • dance studio equipment • other necessary amenities
