The total budget shortfall this academic year was $564 million. The cuts are brutal. Faculty have been furloughed for a ten percent pay cut, our negotiated salary raises have been taken back, and layoffs are probably inevitable this year or (certainly) next year, when the situation will be even worse. Student costs have increased by 32 percent THIS SEMESTER ALONE. Qualified California students are being denied entry into the CSU for the first time in its history. Programs are being cut and classes are being canceled. It's going to get worse before it gets better, I'm afraid.
