Budget Rally

well over five hundred people attended a Budget Rally on the campus of Sacramento State to discuss the impending budget crisis that currently shows the California State University in line for a $380 million cut in the 2008-09 budget. The net effective is that 10,000 students will not gain access to the CSU system. A system of opportunity for many who enter.

The Rally, sponsored by the California Faculty Association (CFA) was the first of its kind where all members of the CSU Family, Faculty, Staff, Students and Administration participated .

All 23 campuses in the CSU are scheduling a Budget Rally with the goal of communicating that a budget cut of any kind was unacceptable. California's workforce requires the system to stay in tact and keep producing the 93,000 graduates each and every year in order to full the jobs available in California companies.

Chico State will be hosting their Rally on April 8th at 10:30 a.m.
