Fresno State faces dramatic cuts -- and students face even higher fees -- after California State University trustees Tuesday took painful steps to combat a $584 million budget shortfall. "I've never experienced anything like this in my life," said Fresno State President John Welty.
"This level of reduction is almost unheard of." Members of the California Faculty Association voted for the furloughs, which amount to a 10 percent pay cut. The vote involved CSU professors, lecturers, coaches and librarians over the coming academic year.
