University politics ~ WOW ~ how exciting!
I know, you think I'm kidding myself.
But really, the politics behind what goes on here at The Beach interests me. In reality, all of life is politics. But what makes the political machinery at our university so interesting is the money - LOTS OF IT.
Consider this, the Cal State University system has a budget of $6.7 billion, about 20 percent of that money you and I can't always see how it's spent. That's because $1.34 billion of the CSU budget is in the hands of auxiliary organizations like Associated Students Inc., the CSULB Foundation and 49er Shops Inc.
What's going on with that money? That's one of many questions this blog hopes to answer.
There's a bill before California's Assembly, SB 330, that will allow us to see how that money is spent. However, top officials from ASI are against it. You can read more about that here: Transparency bill redefines 'auxiliary'
Read that article and let me know what you think about the issue by voting in the poll to the right. Remember, it's YOUR money that they're spending...
