As we prepare for the 2025–26 fiscal year, 麻豆传媒社区入口 is planning for a larger budget shortfall driven by rising costs and ongoing enrollment challenges. This section outlines our projected deficit, early planning efforts, and the strategies we're exploring to ensure financial sustainability while staying focused on our mission.
The current projected deficit assumes flat enrollment and includes preliminary cost data from the Chancellor’s Office. Updates will be made to this site as information becomes available--please note that these preliminary projections will change.
For Fiscal Year 2024–25, CSU East Bay’s projected budget deficit began at $14 million, but after reductions and savings, the updated permanent deficit is $9.7 million.
Looking ahead, the projected deficit for FY 2025–26 is $23 million, driven by continued enrollment challenges, rising mandatory costs, and reductions in state funding.
These figures reflect the base structural deficit, meaning the gap between ongoing revenues and ongoing expenses—not one-time costs. The university continues to explore permanent reductions and sustainable strategies to address this gap.
Some reserves may be used to soften the impact in the short term, but reserves are limited and often earmarked for specific purposes. Using them as a long-term solution would be unsustainable.
The university has used various methods to close $16 million in permanent base reductions over the past 3 years:
2022-23: Elimination of open positions in Academic Affairs, Admin and Finance and Student Affairs
2023-24: Permanent reductions to all Divisions based on share of marginal cost and aligning course sections offered with enrollment
2024-25: Voluntary Separation Incentive Program (VSIP), elimination of 11 MPP positions from operating budget, elimination of a sports team, decommissioning of Robinson Hall, aligning course sections offered with enrollment
In some cases, cost-saving efforts have included reductions in management positions and consolidations. Any future decisions will be made thoughtfully, with input from shared governance groups and a commitment to protecting student success.
Following the Chancellor’s directive in AY2023-24 to review low degree conferring programs, we will continue to closely review all degree programs, minors, and concentrations that have consistently low enrollments, and we will recommend a path forward for those programs. A new advisory committee, the Focused Program Review Advisory Task Force, has been formed (which includes elected faculty) to assist with this review. In a somewhat parallel process, University Extension is conducting its own review of self-support programs with a focus on meeting current workforce needs.
