Campus-Based Programs
Program Description
Campus-Based Program funds represent a small but significant source of funds
that permit campuses and the CSU in general to fund instructional activities
which lead to the enhancement of the quality of campus life. By using this
discretionary source of funds, campus authority and managerial discretion
is increased. With the unprecedented budget cuts sustained by the CSU in
past years, funds allocated for discretionary purposes have helped mitigate
the impact on instructional programs. In recognizing the fiscal constraints
affecting the state's economy, the continued use of Campus-Based Program
funds allows campuses maximum flexibility in meeting unique campus needs.
In keeping with past lottery revenue budgets, such funds were allocated
to achieve maximum impact in enhancing instruction. During the 1996/97 fiscal
year, the CSU will allocate $16.9 million in base funding for Campus-Based
Programs. This includes $15.9 million in base funding and an estimated $1
million from campus and system interest earnings. Please refer to the 1996/97
Campus Lottery Revenue Budget for Campus-Based Program funding.
Traditionally, projects receiving Campus-Based Funds have included the purchase
of new instructional equipment, instructional equipment replacement, curriculum
development, scholarships, and the acquisition of new library materials
including periodicals, serials, monographs, and costs related to faculty
early retirement programs.
