Stop Proposed CSU Budget Cuts

Stop CSU Cuts
Governor Newsom’s May budget revision proposes a smaller—but still significant—cut to the California State University: a 3% reduction in state funding, down from the originally proposed 7.95%. That’s still a $143.8M hit to the CSU—jeopardizing access, quality, and opportunity across the state. Cal Poly Pomona’s portion of the cut is $7 million, contributing to our $8 million structural deficit. The CSU isn’t just a university system—it’s a vital investment in California’s future. We must keep advocating: #stopCSUcuts​
