Leaders of California State University (CSU) expressed grave concerns about Governor Gavin Newsom's proposed $375 million funding cut for the 2025-26 budget. This reduction represents a 7.95% decrease, equating to 20% of the full-time faculty, which threatens essential student support services and hampers the university's progress in serving low-income populations. CSU Chancellor Mildred García emphasized the stark consequences of such cuts, while Trustee Jack McGrory argued against crippling the institution that acts as California's economic engine. The proposed cuts could undermine the educational journey of the diverse student population CSU serves.
Cuts have consequences, and with a proposed cut of this magnitude those consequences will be stark, painful, heartbreaking.“
You can't have us be the economic engine of the state and destroy the system at the same time with these budget cuts.
