2003-04 Supplemental Report Language
ATTACHMENT TO AS-2628-03/FA - May 20, 2003
AS-2628-03/FA
It is the intent of the Legislature that reductions to the California State University
(CSU) budget in 2003-04 be implemented to protect, to the greatest extent possible, the
CSU's primary educational mission of undergraduate and graduate instruction, as defined
in Education Code Section 66010.4. To this end, the CSU will give priority to funding core
classroom instructional needs, student services, and libraries. It is recognized that other
functions of the CSU, such as academic support and maintenance and operations, help to
maintain the system's educational quality.
In addition, the CSU shall:
- Ensure that budget reductions are apportioned to mitigate their impact on the quality
and availability of CSU class offerings, student services and libraries.
- Use alternative funding sources, to the extent permissible under law, to help mitigate
the impact of budget reductions on students, faculty and staff.
- Reduce administrative costs, while at the same time maintaining sufficient resources
necessary for the campuses and system to operate efficiently, serve students effectively,
manage the CSU system and remain accountable to the state.
- Defer expenses in 2003-04 for implementation of the Common Management System (CMS) on
campuses proposing new start-up projects, where feasible.
The CSU shall report the following to the Department of Finance, Legislative Analyst's
Office and appropriate legislative committees by March 30, 2004:
- The total number (both headcount and full-time equivalents) of tenured and
tenure-track faculty; lecturers; represented staff; and MPP personnel employed by
the CSU in October 2002 and October 2003.
- Total student enrollment (both headcount and full-time equivalents) in the Fall
terms of 2002 and 2003.
The CSU shall report the following to the Department of Finance, Legislative Analyst's
Office and appropriate legislative committees by November 1, 2004:
- The total number (both headcount and full-time equivalents) of tenured and
tenure-track faculty; lecturers; represented staff; and MPP personnel employed by the
CSU in March 2003 and March 2004.
- Total student enrollment (both headcount and full-time equivalents) in the Spring
terms of 2003 and 2004.
- Average class size in both 2002-03 and 2003-04.
- The total number of course sections taught in 2002-03 and 2003-04.
- Total actual expenditures by program and subprogram area in both 2002-03 and
2003-04.
The CSU shall also report by November 1, 2004 on the deferral, if any, of CMS
implementation costs during fiscal year 2003-04; and the use, if any, of alternative
funding sources used to help mitigate the impact of the 2003-04 budget reductions.
