In a quote from Chancellor Reed, he stated:

The mission of the CSU is to educate California’s students and despite the uncertainty surrounding the budget, we need to provide service as best as we can. We remain optimistic that the legislature is committed to higher education and that the final budget will restore the necessary funding to the CSU. The restoration of funding is vital to allow us to serve these students.
