LONG BEACH — California State University students could have better luck getting into classes next fall.
Chancellor Charles Reed said Friday that CSU is giving campuses an extra $50.9 million for the fall 2010 term. The money will add as many as 8,100 classes, retain instructors and provide student services.
The money comes from $76.5 million in federal stimulus money received by the 23-campus system, where deep budget cuts have made it increasingly difficult for students to get classes.
In October, CSU released $25.6 million of that money to add about 4,000 classes this spring.
Reed says CSU decided to release the remaining $50.9 million because Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s proposed budget for 2010-2011 restores some of the funding cut last year.
