Possible scenerios for the 2010-11 budget at CSULB


The budget crises continues to be the main topic for Cal State Long Beach faculty and staff members at the Academic Senate meeting.
The Daily 49er reported the story in its newspaper talking about the 3 scenarios that could possibly take place next academic year. Scenerio 1 would consist of $1.5 million in mandatory costs along with no additional state reductions or fee increases, and a $9.5 million fee-revenue loss due to enrollment reduction. Scenario 2 demostrated a 10 percent fee increase along with the same mandatory costs and $5 million in state reductions. Last, scenrio 3 would include a projected 10 percent increase in state reductions; none of which help solve the problem according to Mary Stephens, vice president of administration.

Changes are invitable and it's just a matter of knowing what changes and what it will mean for students. As of now, a $20 million problem is being anticipated along with having to reduce enrollment by an additional 10.8 percent, or 3,044 full-time students at CSULB for the upcoming academic year.
