The Alliance For The CSU held a phone and fax marathon during UU hour Thursday, protesting a $386 million cut in funding to the CSU system scheduled to be included in the governor’s “May Revise” 2008-09 state budget.
“Any money that gets put into the CSU system comes back four-fold, after about a five-year turnaround,” said Rich Saenz, chair of the physics department and president of the Cal Poly branch of the California Faculty Association (CFA).
