Sonoma State University is grappling with a $24 million budget deficit due to reduced funding and declining enrollment. In a recent forum, President Dr. Emily Cutrer updated lawmakers about the university's 'Bridge to the Future' plan aimed at increasing enrollment and stabilizing finances. However, she faces skepticism from lawmakers, including Congressman Mike Thompson, who expressed disappointment in the university's progress. Amidst criticisms, some students voiced frustration over the elimination of programs that catered to marginalized communities, highlighting the emotional impact of the budget cuts.
Cutrer gave North Bay lawmakers an update on the future of her embattled university, months after sweeping cuts to athletics and academics were announced.
Congressman Mike Thompson says so far, he's not impressed. They've been working on a plan. I want to hear what they have to say.
