May 22, 2012
The California State University’s System-wide Budget Advisory Committee will meet Wednesday, May 23, to discuss cost reduction and revenue strategies in the face of unprecedented budget cuts to the CSU system. The meeting will be broadcast live online and the Humboldt State community is invited to attend a special presentation of the meeting from 10:30 to noon in Founders Hall 111.
Attendees can attend the presentation and ask questions about possible cost cutting strategies for the CSU. The CSU Budget Office website provides information concerning strategies that were presented at the May 2012 Board of Trustees meeting. Download the PDF at this link.

After the SBAC meeting, the Trustees’ Committee on Finance will meet to review the suggestions and identify options that should be further explored and analyzed by the full board. The Finance Committee is expected to meet during the month of June and, as required, public notice will be posted ten-days in advance.
