| Warning: I hear from my son, who is actively involved in this, that the proposed state budget cuts are going to be absolutely devastating for at least some CSU's. He says there is no way that his current CSU will be able to function effectively. (He is graduating this spring, but has been involved very closely working with students & faculties on budget issues for the past 2 years, as the campus was already in crisis mode financially when he got there). For students who have a choice, I would encourage asking some very hard questions about budget cuts & finances before enrolling in a CSU. (I don't know if the UC's will be equally hard hit - but I do know that the CSU's seem to suffer from "middle child syndrome" in terms of the attention paid to their needs statewide) |
