Most offices at California State University, Stanislaus will be closed on Friday, August 21 in observance of a mandatory, unpaid furlough day for employees due to severe state budget cuts imposed upon the California State University system.
 
Friday’s furlough day is the second of 24 scheduled for the 2009-10 academic year.
 
Offices will reopen at 8 a.m. on Monday, August 24.
As many of you are already aware, the California State University system has been greatly affected by the mandatory budget cuts required by the Governor and the State Legislature. Even reductions in personnel, furlough days, and student fee increases could not prevent our having to reduce course offerings. CSU Stanislaus must respond to deep cuts for our campus including increasing some class sizes and merging sections for some courses. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts to do otherwise, our budget cuts must also include the cancellation of a number of classes for fall semester 2009.
California State University, Stanislaus has received a major gift of $400,000 from the estate of Kenneth and Shirley Whalen in memory of their late daughter, Christie Sue Whalen-Sexton, that will be used to create an endowed chair in the College of Education.
 
California State University, Stanislaus students won the lion’s share of scholarships at the 2009 Society for Human Resource Management conference in New Orleans. It is the second straight year that CSU Stanislaus students have won the scholarships which have provided for invaluable internship experiences at Foster Farms and the City of Modesto.
Mr. Ron Foster, President and CEO of Foster Farms, has contributed $500,000 to California State University, Stanislaus to fund The Foster Farms Endowed Chair in Business Economics with an emphasis in econometrics.

In addition, employees will furlough 24 days between August 1, 2009 and June 30, 2010, student fees will increase 20 percent for Fall 2009, and admissions are closed for the 2010 Winter and Spring terms.
Due to an unprecedented budget reduction from the State, California State University, Stanislaus must close admission for the 2010 Winter and Spring terms, consistent with all other universities in the CSU system. No new admission applications will be accepted in undergraduate or post-baccalaureate/graduate categories.
 
The decision to close admissions is part of a CSU system-wide effort to reduce student enrollment in order to bring it in line with limited state funding. In a typical year, approximately 1,000 new community college transfer and gradua
