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.

CSU Stanislaus isn’t alone in reaching the half-centurian mark. Fifty years ago, the California State Legislature put forth a plan to resolve competition between the state’s public universities and expand educational resources, effectively providing the state’s top-performing students with the opportunity to achieve college degrees. Today, California’s higher education systems are credited with propelling the state’s economy to the top. California has the eighth largest economy in the world thanks to its market diversity and investments in new technologies from pharmaceuticals to computers. Chiefly engineered by former University of California President Clark Kerr, the Master Plan for Higher Education was meant to clarify the roles of the UC, CSU, and community college systems. It declared the UC would focus on research and award masters and doctoral degrees. The CSU system would focus on instruction. The same year we acknowledge the 50th anniversary of the Master Plan, education advocates have logged countless hours inside and outside of the Capitol building in Sacramento garnering support for higher education in a labor market that has inspired many Californians to return to college. In some ways, the period leading up to the Master Plan of 1960 is similar to today. California already had an open-door admissions policy and a three-part system of higher education. The state was facing significant state budget problems, an inadequate tax system, and large-scale growth in higher education enrollment demand. While there have been four major post-1960 reviews of the Master Plan, there have been few major structural changes with the exception of the establishment in 1968 of the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges and the creation in 1974 of the California Postsecondary Education Commission to replace the Coordinating Council for Higher Education. In December 2009, state legislators began a periodical review of the Master Plan to determine whether the plan was meeting its original goals and serving the needs of students and the state’s workforce. The Legislature is reviewing testimony, findings, and data to determine next steps. |
