California Governor Gavin Newsom announced the May Revision of his administration's 2023-24 state budget proposal, including funding for the California State University (CSU). The May Revision maintains the same level of additional unallocated, ongoing funding for the CSU—$227.3 million—that the governor had proposed in January as part of the multi-year compact.
“We are very grateful for the ongoing support of the CSU represented in the revised budget proposal, especially given the state's worsening fiscal challenges," said Interim Chancellor Jolene Koester. “By maintaining the commitments of the multi-year compact, the administration has demonstrated its belief in the CSU's mission and the transformative power of higher education for Californians from all backgrounds."
