Three CSU Leaders Honored by HACU
The Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) honored three CSU leaders during HACU’s 2012 annual conference on Oct. 22.
CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed was honored with a Lifelong Leadership Award for his commitment and leadership in developing Hispanic-serving institutions.
During his tenure as chancellor of the CSU, the number of CSU campuses that have received the Hispanic Serving Institution designation doubled from seven to 14.
Tomás A. Arciniega, who served as president of CSU Bakersfield from 1983 to 2004, was inducted into HACU’s Hall of Champions. As the longest-serving member of the HACU Governing Board, Arciniega helped build HACU’s membership to more than 400 colleges and universities, serving the largest concentrations of Hispanic higher education students in 26 states and Puerto Rico.
Arciniega helped win millions of dollars in support from the federal government and the private sector for Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs).

Voters' Approval of Proposition 30 Results in Student Tuition Rollback |
As a result of voters' approval of Proposition 30 in the November election, The California State University system will roll back a $249 per semester tuition fee increase for students which was already in place, and will avoid a $250 million mid-year budget cut.
Annual tuition fees for full-time undergraduate students will now revert back to $5,472 – the same rate as in the 2011-2012 academic year. Students will either be credited, refunded or receive a reconfigured financial aid package to account for the revised tuition fee rates.
Campus enrollments will also remain constant for fall 2013. The system had put a hold on applications from new students, pending the outcome of Proposition 30, which has a direct impact on funded enrollment targets. Campuses will immediately begin to review applications for new student admissions for the fall.

Program Facilitates Greater Involvement of CSU and Community
The CSU Asian American and Pacific Islander Initiative trained a group of approximately 50 students to serve as CSU liaisons to AAPI families and community organizations across the state.
Students received cultural identity training that helped them explore and communicate their personal backgrounds and cultural experiences as members of immigrant families.
The program is designed to provide communities with access to individuals who are both members of the community and of the university and will facilitate greater involvement and collaboration between campuses and communities.
Students were nominated and selected by each participating campus – Long Beach, Dominguez Hills, Fullerton, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento, San Jose and East Bay.
One of the assignments for the ambassadors will be to work on regional Journey to Success multi campus events planned for 2013.
