2011-12 CSULB Budget Outlook

The worse case scenario for the CSULB's future budget may be in the form of a $72 million reduction, according to a power point presentation found at the CSULB's budget central website here

Meanwhile, the best case scenario for the entire CSU system may take the form of a $500 million reduction with CSULB sharing only $32 million of the deficit.

The power point then details an outline regarding both the best and worst case impacts and outlooks.

CSULB, for the best case scenario, would have to "[carefully] use . . . unspent non-recurring “restoration” funds [that] would provide a buffer against severe cuts for 2-3 years" all the while leaving "little felxibilty for anything new" such as "limited hiring."

If the university did face a $72 million cut, "after 1 year," according to the power point, the "campus would face abrupt, severe reductions" that may be administered throughout an entire year, rather than cushioned through the span of two or three years
