Update to Budget FAQ Posted
An update to the FAQs on the 2008-09 Budget Situation has been posted.
As I’m sure you now know, on Friday, February 20, the Governor approved a state budget for California that covers the remainder of the 2008-09 fiscal year and 2009-10. The FAQ update addresses questions that members of the campus community may have about what the approved budget means for Cal State Northridge, including the resumption of our suspended construction projects. The FAQ also complements the campuswide message that went out Friday from Vice President for Administration and Finance Tom McCarron.
Since we are still learning more about the budget and there are some assumptions in the package that may keep the situation fluid, as I’ve said during my recent spring visits with the colleges and departments, I ask everyone to exercise continued patience and forbearance, and to embrace with as much humor as possible “the ambiguity” that is an inherent part of this process. I remain grateful for everyone’s commitment to our main goal of providing the best quality education, programs and services for our students and community.
Vice President McCarron and I will continue to keep everyone up to date as we move forward in the implementation of the new budget, and encourage you to visit the FAQs for the most current information regarding the budget situation.
