California State University, Stanislaus will receive $1.17 million in one-time federal stimulus funds for the 2010/2011 academic year.
The funding is part of the $50.9 million allocation from the California State University system, which the chancellor’s office announced earlier this month. It is meant to enable state universities to add needed classes to fall schedules. This is the second, and final, wave of the $76.5 million federal stimulus package the California State University system received last year. Chancellor Charles Reed held the second funding allocation until receiving notice that the governor’s 2010-11 budget proposal did not include mid-year budget cuts.
Like the first wave of stimulus funds, the $1.17 million will help add classes. The first wave allowed the University to add 60 classes to the spring course schedule. The $1.17 million will allow CSU Stanislaus to add even more courses next semester and weather additional state funding cuts should the Legislature not support the higher education portion of the governor’s budget proposal.
Students can expect to see additional offerings of required classes with the longest waitlists.
