January 4, 2018

Dear Chancellor White and CSU Trustees,

The time has come for the state of California to end the long, slow process of dismantling public higher education. For decades, state disinvestment from the California State University has harmed students and it has harmed our state. We have too few Californians with college degrees.

The CSU is turning away eligible students who were promised a place in college in California’s Master Plan for Higher Education. More than 31,000 students were denied admission this year, with more students likely to be excluded in the future.

Now, this disinvestment is poised to continue, both in the Governor’s budget proposal to be released this month and in the budget request that the CSU Trustees submitted to the governor.

Find links to complete comments of speakers cited below on the CFA web site.

A MORAL IMPERATIVE: Cecil Canton, CFA Associate VP-Affirmative Action who teaches Criminal Justice, spoke about a CFA letter to the Trustees, Chancellor and campus presidents saying the CSU needs its leaders to show greater strength in the face of racism, hate and bigotry surfacing on campuses. Calling on them to set aside fear of lawsuits or criticism, he said “You need to say what it is that is actually undermining our democracy and that is threatening the people who are the most defenseless in this country.” Student Maggie White in her report from the California State Student Association said of the threat to undocumented students, “We will not stop talking about this” until all CSU students are safe. In plenary, the CSU Trustees adopted a resolution calling for a legislative solution for Dreamer students.
