California State University, Dominguez Hills (CSUDH) announced that student employees under the Federal Work-Study program will lose their jobs effective March 7 due to budget shortfalls. The director of financial aid attributed this to an unexpected increase in student participation and rising minimum wage. Inaccurate budget projections were also cited. The university stated they are investigating these issues as they acknowledge the significant impact on students who rely on these positions for living costs, and they promise to assist those affected during this difficult transition.
The university is investigating the reasons behind this unexpected increase in use of Federal Work-Study funds and will update its protocols and controls in the future to address unforeseen student demand.
CSUDH deeply regrets this funding shortfall's impact on our students and is committed to working with those affected to address financial needs.
