PARENTS
The State Legislature and Governor recently passed a budget that had devastating effects on your child's education at San Francisco State. Some of the facts:
Size of the budget cut: The California legislature (including all of the Bay Area members) and the Governor cut nearly $38 million) of SF State's General Revenue funding -- reducing it from $166.7 million to $128.7 -- and imposed new unfunded mandatory costs of $9.5 million.
Loss of class sections: 339 sections had to be cut from our fall 2008 total of 3.164.
Enrollment: 24,620 full-time equivalent students (FTES) -- down, as the Chancellor's Office has ordered, from last fall. Because we are not admitting new students for the spring, we expect to have about 2,000 fewer students on campus. Our enrollment target for the 2010-11 academic year has been lowered by 10.8%.
