CSU Stanislaus Budget Central

Budget Central has been created to provide the latest news about the CSU Stanislaus budget in light of the state’s severe cuts to the California State University system. The University has been required to make $13.5 million in cuts to its 2009-10 budget, including a $2.5 million reduction of part-time faculty and staff, and has reduced full-time equivalent enrolment to 6,800.  Click on the link above to learn more

CSU Stanislaus received a major gift of $375,000 from the estate of Kenneth and Shirley Whalen in February 2009, which will be used to create an endowed professorship within the College of Education.

Dr. Elmano Costa, Professor of Teacher Education at CSU Stanislaus since 1995 and a longtime educator in the University region, will serve as the Christie Sue Whalen-Saxton Professor of Teacher Education.

“Dr. Costa’s commitment to advancing education in the Portuguese community, his sundry contributions to the department and college, and his attention to students make him most deserving of this prestigious professorship,” CSU Stanislaus President Dr. Hamid Shirvani said. 

The gift was made in the name of the Whalen's daughter, Christie Sue Whalen-Saxton, to support and enhance the University’s teacher training programs. Christie Sue, who is now deceased, received her B.A. degree in 1977 and her teaching credential in 1979 from CSU Stanislaus.

The Christie Sue Whalen-Saxton Endowed Professorship in Teacher Education provides the salary and research funding for a faculty member who no longer has to be paid entirely out of the operating budget. This allows the University to direct money that would otherwise have been spent on salaries toward other university needs.
