Students attending classes in fall 2010 at one of the 23 California State University campuses will now have more classes available to them than previously expected, thanks to $50.9 million in one-time federal stimulus funds. This massive infusion of cash will definitely help close the budget deficit at each of the CSU campuses, but this will not be enough to close the gap. It will however provide CSU college students with an additional 8,000 courses for fall 2010 across all of the CSU schools. Many students who have been worried about getting into the classes they need to graduate, will now have a much better chance to make the progress they desire. Not only are students happy, but so are many college professors who now get to teach more classes for fall 2010.
The $50.9 million is the remaining money withheld from $76.5 million that the California State University system received for fall 2009 to add class for winter and spring terms. This tactic was used by the CSU Chancellor’s office because they knew that the budget issues were going to be a long term problem that they needed to plan ahead for, in order to combat it. However the one downside to this stimulus money is that it is only for fall 2010, and the CSU colleges will still have issues offering enough classes for winter and spring 2010. More details should come out this month which should give students a better idea of how the changes will benefit them. Thousands of spots for new students at CSU college in fall 2010 had been reduced, so it is unclear if those students who made other plans, will change their plans again. Below are some estimates of what some of the California State University schools will receives from the federal stimulus money.
California State University, Sacramento – $3 million
California State University, Long Beach – $3.7 million
California State University, Fresno – $2.9 million
California State University, San Bernardino – $2 million
San Jose State University – $3.1 million
