Budget problems cut deep, faculty not amused - Spartan Daily

Provost Ellen Junn, Deputy Provost Andy Feinstein and Chief Financial Officer Shawn Bibb met with department chairs Wednesday to answer questions about baseline budget cuts that San Jose State is facing. Department chairs questioned why they were not notified of the extent of the cuts for the Spring 2014 semester until late last week. "The '13-'14 institution has not taken a budget cut," Bibb said. "This is not new news … 18 months ago the budget was established." Charles Bullock, dean of the College of Applied Sciences and Arts, stated in an email to the department chairs and directors, “By June 30, 2014, SJSU will have taken our second $16 million plus cut,” which will get the university to a balanced budget. http://spartandaily.com/112476/budget-problems-cut-deep-faculty-not-amused
