Cal State Funding

* Contrary to what “Here’s an Idea: Throw Money at CSU” (Commentary, April 15) said, the California State University trustees are committed to attracting more funds. Our 1999-2000 budget request is 11.5% higher than last year and includes a 6% salary increase for faculty. We also are seeking another agreement with the governor for stable, long-term funding. In addition, CSU campuses are 10 of the nation’s top 20 public master’s institutions in fund-raising.
The CSU last year raised $648 million in external funding. As we increase our resources we must make every dollar count. Through partnerships, wise use of technology, year-round operations and strategic planning, we will ensure both high-quality education and access to it.
