  20. The goal of the Student Financial Aid Office is to maximize the utilization of available financial aid programs (grants, loans, scholarships, and federal work-study) to defray the educational expenses incurred by students and their families. In addition to providing financial assistance, the office works in concert with the campus community to provide an environment where students feel connected and supported during their tenure at California State University, Los Angeles. Financial Aid

  21. Student success is enhanced by a broad array of programs focused on supporting and enabling students to reach their educational goals and consider themselves successful. Early interaction with all students and particularly at-risk-students is imperative. Creating a campus where students feel connected to other students, staff, faculty and the University at-large will increase retention and move students closer to successfully achieving their personal and educational goals.

  24. Proposed EMSC Structure

  25. 2009-10 Budget

  26. CSULA Budget Reduction Impacts • No Enrollment Growth – FTE Target Remains at 17,000 • No 2009-10 Compact Related Compensation Increases • In February 2009, the Legislature reversed the $97.6 million which was added back to the CSU budget as part of the May 2008 Revised 2008-09 budget. The CSU’s cumulative reduction through 2009-10, including the carryover of the 2008-09 reduction, is $57,155,000. • CSULA’s portion of this reduction is approximately 5% (its portion of the total CSU Budget) or $2,857,750. • This reduction is funded with $1.1 million in baseline funds from a reduction in risk pool premiums and an energy bond that will be paid off next year. The balance of $1.8 million will be from one-time funds. • This budget scenario for 2009-10 is based on the following assumptions: Compact is not funded, no enrollment growth expected, the budget initiatives will pass in the May 19, 2009 Special Election, and none of the revenue shortfalls are allocated to the CSU. 26 26

  27. 2009/10 FISCAL IMPACT TO CSU 27 27

  28. While the State is already projecting a shortfall of revenues from what was projected in the February 2009 budget, failure of the budget initiatives on the May 19, 2009 ballot will add an additional $5.8 billion to what is currently expected to be as much as a $8 billion shortfall. Additionally, unless the State’s economy improves dramatically, reductions currently funded from one-time funds will need to be made on a baseline basis in 2010-11 in addition to any impacts from the special election or potential shortfalls in State revenues. CSU Budget Response Key Messages 28 28

  29. The proposed budget will not allow the CSU to serve all qualified students, reducing access. Reducing access will impact industries and the State’s economy given our role in preparing the State’s workforce. Long-term prospects of increasing college going rates of underserved communities will be negatively impacted just as we are making real progress. CSU Budget Response Key Concerns 29 29
