California lawmakers say CSU budget problems concerning
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California lawmakers expressed concern Wednesday that California State University campuses cannot fully justify spending on management staff after recent audits have found systemic budgeting problems at state schools.
Lawmakers made the remarks during a hearing on an audit of CSU staffing and budget oversight.
The April audit found campuses increased management staff numbers and compensation at a higher rate than for other employee groups, including faculty. It also found campuses do not adequately monitor their budgets to ensure public money is spent appropriately.
CSU representatives said they are working to fix the problems identified by the audit.
