Cal State system may get a boost

In recent years the California State university system has be cut beyond the bone. In 1984 the university system's share of the state budget was 11% while last year it had shrunk to 5.7%. The budget was cut 21% last year alone. As reported in the LA times article "Investing in Higher Education is a Win-Win," Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is proposing to increase California State University's budget by about $365 million. While this won't make up entirely for the large one-time cut last year it is at least a step in the right direction.
