The 2026-27 CSU expenditure plan framework for the $597.1 million increase includes two critical tiers—baseline commitments and essential priorities. Baseline commitments total $323.7 million and reflect unavoidable, mandatory costs that are not discretionary and will be incurred regardless of the level of new revenue sources. Essential priorities total $273.4 million and reflect investments in CSU's core values, which directly contribute to student success.
