"Gov. Gavin Newsom's budget proposal unveiled Friday provided hopeful news for California's public university systems, which would get funding increases that leaders say are desperately needed amid hostility from the federal government. See the full higher education budget The University of California and California State University would receive a combined $716.3 million in new base funding $350.6 million for UC and $365.7 million for CSU under the proposed budget."
"In total, UC would get $5.3 billion from the state's general fund and CSU would receive $5.6 billion. The proposal wasn't, however, a best-case scenario for the university systems. Both would see some previously promised money deferred until next year: $129.7 million for UC and $143.8 million for CSU. That funding was originally deferred from the universities' budgets last year amid weak state revenues."
California's proposed budget provides $716.3 million in new base funding to the University of California ($350.6 million) and California State University ($365.7 million), raising general fund totals to $5.3 billion for UC and $5.6 billion for CSU. Some previously promised funds are deferred until next year: $129.7 million for UC and $143.8 million for CSU, originally postponed amid weak state revenues. The proposal remains subject to change before the summer budget finalization. UC and CSU lack guaranteed minimum funding and must compete with other priorities. UC leaders cite rising costs and federal scrutiny, including DOJ charges against UCLA.
