Despite Budget Increase, CSU Sees Nearly $250 Million Funding Gap - Associated Press

California State University officials said Tuesday they will need nearly $250 million more in state funding for the next academic year than is currently proposed, an amount that Gov. Jerry Brown called “a dream more than reality.” Brown warned the board of trustees at its Tuesday meeting that any request for funding more than the currently slated $125 million for 2013-14 will be hard to push through the Legislature. “Look, it’s a tight ship and it’s going to get tighter,” he said. “We’re going to have to do some, how shall I say it—very creative, very thoughtful, very caring adjustments.” http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2013/01/22/csu-sees-nearly-250-million-funding-gap/
