Sonoma County Supervisors are joining the growing chorus of concern over budget cuts at Sonoma State University.
In a letter to the CSU Chancellor, the Board of Supervisors expressed worries about the impact of the cuts on students, the local economy, and workforce development. The Board highlighted the university’s role as a crucial hiring pipeline for local businesses and government, and questioned the long-term strategy behind the cuts. They also offered assistance in securing additional funding.
This follows similar concerns raised by state lawmakers who are planning meetings and hearings to address the issue, with some criticizing the university’s handling of the situation.
