In the midst of the budget crisis, California State University campuses will receive $50.9 million for additional classes and better student support services, according to a CSU press release.
The 23 campuses were provided with an initial total of $25.6 million from federal stimulus funds to add about 4,000 classes this spring.
According to Rick Gloady, Cal State Long Beach director of media relations, more than $3.7 million — about 7 percent of the funding — will be allocated to CSULB for the fall 2010 semester. Not all campuses will receive the same amount of money.
About 8,100 more fall 2010 course selections throughout the CSU system will be added, and more lecturers will be able to keep their positions, according to the press release.
Erik Fallis, CSU media relations specialist, said via e-mail, “All 23 campuses will receive an allocation from these funds [and] funding is being allocated in proportion to the one-time state support reduction each campus sustained this year.”
