from LA TImes:

I really wish the CS system would shutter 2-3 campuses and/or combine admins. it needs to re-examine many majors at schools, get data on what the grads do after degree, and just pare down. Combine some CSUs, like San Marcos, administer out of SDSU, Dominguez, administer out of LB, Channel Islands out of Northridge. Sonoma State is not gettign students. so long as the population (and student ) growth is stagnant, deal with it. it's just going to hurt the stronger campuses. doubt the CSU ahs gumption to act.
 

from LA Times:
Many cuts will be made to faculty who actually teach subjects. How many vice presidents, assistant or associate deans and assistant or associate provosts teach classes? Very few.


The chancellor's base salary is nearly $800,000 (she receives more in housing allowances and deferred compensation). The base salaries of the 23 campus presidents range from around $300,000 to nearly $600,000 each. CSU cannot function without faculty, but I always thought it could do perfectly well without most of what has become a bloated administration.
