2008-09 Budget

The budget continues to be the issue of the day for the Board of Trustees. While we were successful with the May revise in supplementing the budget with $90 million of additional funding, the Legislature and the Governor have quite a challenge ahead before the Budget is actually signed. The Alliance for the CSU continues to be very active during the summer in providing a strong front in advocating on behalf of teh CSU.
