If you check your e-mail regularly, you should have received the letter from President F. King Alexander regarding the current campus budget.If you missed it, he begins by stating that there is no new information to address, but the Governor is scheduled to publish his May Revise Budget by May 14.
President King also writes, "Because the political situation remains so uncertain and we have not observed any real movement toward budgetary resolution, the CSU has not changed its budget planning assumptions for next year. This means that we are continuing to implement our targeted reduction in student enrollment and keeping in place our plans for handling the budget cuts that have been assigned to us so far."
King goes on to discuss briefly the layoff situation which cannot be decided until after the Governor's revision, and mentions the $3.7 million the state has provided the university.
The one thing that stuck in my mind after reading the e-mail was this: "The good news is that state revenue is up slightly from last year. While certainly not enough of an increase to come anywhere close to resolving our financial problems, at least we do not expect the situation to worsen."
