The California State University announced the states new budget for the term of 2010-2011.
The 2010-2011 California state budget will restore $199 million to the California State University and provide an additional $60.6 million for enrollment growth.
The final budget will increase the system's General Fund support from $2.35 billion (2009-2010) to $2.62 billion. An increase hasn't been made since 2007, restoring hope in higher education.
In a press release CSULB President F. King Alexander said, “These additional funds which restore about 30 percent of the budget reductions that we have been forced to endure recently are very much welcomed, especially in light of the fact that California faced a $19 billion fiscal deficit.”
Students around campus are suggesting where the funds should be used.
Karen Rodriguez, nursing major said, “I think that the state should come up with a solution to lower the cost of tuition, for those who don't qualify for financial aid.”
