CSUS President Warning

  

The California State University system (CSU) is the gateway to success for tens of thousands of Californians each year. CSU provides students with a high quality and highly affordable education, and plays a critical role in the economic and social well-being of our state. Without the CSU, California would be hard-pressed to remain competitive in this complex and constantly changing state and global economy.

Most people are more than a little surprised to learn the CSU educates more than half of all Californians seeking a university degree, including more computer scientists and engineers than all other California colleges and universities combined-more than 60 percent of the state's teachers and 10 percent of teachers nationwide.

 

Quotes from CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed.

“As the public university that prepares the majority of California’s workforce, these budget cuts will have a direct impact on the state’s economy and on the key industries that our graduates enter such as nursing, teaching, agriculture, business, public administration and technology.”

"The impact of the California State University on the state is enormous, both economically and socially, and nowhere is that more evident than in the number of graduates we produce who go on to work in the state's critical industries," Reed said in the statement. "College graduates earn $1 million more over their lifetimes than those with a high school degree, so CSU is adding value to both the individual student and the state's economy."

 

  
 
         
    As the seventh-largest economy in the world - schools, businesses, and public agencies must have ongoing access to highly educated and skilled Californians to fill the intellectual and technical jobs of the 21st century.
If California is to continue to grow, prosper, and compete effectively in the world marketplace, access to higher education for students from all ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds must remain one of our highest priorities. Without top-quality public colleges and universities, the state will not have the human resources required to sustain a strong economy. 		  * CSU graduates more than 80,000 students per year
*44% of life sciences and health
professions bachelors’ degrees in
California; 65% of business graduates;
50% of engineering and agricultural
engineering bachelors’ degrees; 41%
of the state’s health care and life
sciences graduate degree holders.
*The CSU graduates more African
American, Hispanic, and American
Indian students than all other
California universities combined
