Opinion: Investing in California's future means rejecting state cuts to CSU
Briefly

San Jose State University, a key player in the California State University system, is preparing for potentially devastating budget cuts that could reduce its funding by $375 million. As the school serves as a crucial talent pipeline in Silicon Valley, such reductions would severely limit student resources, course availability, and vital services, particularly affecting first-generation and underrepresented students. With CSU being the largest public university system in the nation, the cuts threaten California's competitiveness in essential fields such as education and technology, exacerbating the urgent need for skilled professionals in these industries.
The proposed cuts to the CSU system could severely impact SJSU, resulting in fewer courses, longer graduation times, and reduced access to vital services for students.
If the budget cuts go through, California risks jeopardizing its competitive edge, particularly at a time when there's an urgent need for qualified teachers and skilled workers.
