TO: Campus Community
FR: Emily F. Cutrer, Interim President
Thank you to everyone who took part, either in person or virtually, in the February 21 legislative hearing on campus about Sonoma State’s 2025-26 budget deficit reductions and the university’s plans moving forward. As promised, a plan for the future will be presented in 30 to 60 days.
We are committed to advocating alongside you for our legislators to refrain from reducing funding for the California State University system and Sonoma State. Should new funds become available to mitigate the announced budget reductions, the University Budget Advisory Committee – with the addition of an administrator from Athletics – will make recommendations about the use of such funds.
Additionally, many of the questions and concerns raised at the hearing are addressed in the budget General FAQs document on the university website, which is being updated regularly. You can find that document here: https://budget.sonoma.edu/
