The budget cuts strike again and this time it hits the Associated Students Inc.
The Daily 49er reports that ASI will have to make cuts for the 2010-11 fiscal year because of a decrease in revenue.
Dave Edwards, ASI associate executive director said ASI is "looking at cuts in a number of areas: Student employment, club funding, support of campus programs...athletics, [the Educational Opportunity Program], some arts programs."
Why? Well, it is because of fewer students attending the university and "a new law that prohibits ASI from charging a summer ASI fee."
"ASI president Chris Chavez said CSULB would lose about 2,000 students for the 2010-11 academic year. This will drop ASI's revenue by about $2,000 since it depends on the $44 charged to each student per semester."
The article goes into detail about the difficulties ASI will face next year and why the fee has been prohibited but to highlight, "ASI is set to lose about $400,000-$50,000 for the 2010-11 year."
