The CSU system has faced a 22% cut in state funding over the past two years, equating to $625 million in budget cuts. In response, the CSU plans to decrease enrollment by 40,000 students across its 23 campuses over the next two years. All faculty will also experience a 9.23% pay cut through furlough days, and fewer classes are being offered with larger class sizes at some schools. While unpopular, these measures were necessary responses to state budget cuts, rather than issues within the CSU system itself.
