Justin Sylvia, a fire spokesperson in Sacramento, which is crossed by the American River.Sacramento has already had 20 water rescues this year, nearly as many as all of 2022, Sylvia said Tuesday as crews practiced swift-water rescues on the lower American River near its confluence with the Sacramento River.

New report says Cal State has $1.5 billion funding gap, suggests tuition hikes

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:26:51 GMT

The nation’s largest public four-year university is presently incapable of affording itself.A 70-page report nearly a year in the making by leaders of the California State University details the massive gulf between the money the system currently generates from tuition and receives in state support and the actual costs of educating its nearly 500,000 students and employing 60,000 workers.All told, CSU’s revenues account for only 86% of the system’s overall costs — a gap of nearly $1.5 billion in 2021-22. Support for student services is the least funded relative to costs, at just 68%. The analysis is based on a highly technical set of assumptions and system data. That gap doesn’t even include Cal State’s roughly $6 billion backlog in construction maintenance projects.A central premise of the report is that the CSU cannot afford to do the things it should be doing to help students succeed.“The model explains why there never seems to be enough money to pay for what the universities thi...
