Gov. Jerry Brown's revisions to the 2013-14 budget keeps intact the proposed reinvestment of $125 million into the CSU system, President Michael Ortiz said in his weekly video update.

However, that does not completely restore the CSU system after years of budget cuts. Currently, Cal Poly Pomona is operating with just 62 percent of the state funding it received in 2007-08, Ortiz noted. However, the good news is that state support seems to be headed in the right direction.

Last week's major IT system failure was not caused by the launch of the redesigned website, Ortiz said. The cause was human error, and I&IT is reviewing its procedures to prevent similar problems in the future. Ortiz expressed pride in how the campus community responded to the situation amid priority registration, ASI elections and day-to-day operations.
