Cal State has a new chancellor. Her challenges include the system’s sexual misconduct allegations and massive budget gap
Cal Matters ^ | JULY 12, 2023 | MIKHAIL ZINSHTEYN

A $1.5 billion budget shortfall, student outrage over planned annual 6% tuition hikes for at least five years, stubborn racial gaps in graduation rates and widespread distrust over how the university handles sexual assault claims.

This is the job that awaits Mildred García, who was named chancellor of the California State University today.

García will earn $795,000 in base salary — higher than the $625,000 the current interim chancellor receives — deferred compensation of $80,000 yearly, a monthly auto allowance of $1,000 and a monthly housing stipend of $8,000.


800 grand a year and still needs a 8 grand a month housing stipend. Go figure

She checks all the boxes for political correctness. That’s all that matters, and she can blame her failure on racism and misogyny.

Did this person say her pronoun was SHE. We need to open an investigation and see if she knows what a WOMAN is.

Wouldn’t it be great if the left had to live by the standards they create for the rest of the world?

If those three things are the major items that have them so puzzled, I’ll fix all three in one week for the bargain price of $730k. No stipends or expense account needed.

If it helps, I’ll let them refer to me as Esmarelda Cruz. They can use whatever pronouns they desire.

“The California State University (Cal State or CSU) is a public university system in California, and the largest public university system in the world. It consists of 23 campuses and 7 off-campus centers, which together enroll 457,992 students and employ 56,256 faculty and staff members. In California, it is one of the three public higher education systems, along with the University of California and the California Community Colleges systems.”

“In the 2015–16 academic year, CSU awarded 52% of newly issued California teaching credentials, 33% of the state’s information technology bachelor’s degrees, and it had more graduates in business , criminal justice, engineering, criminal justice, public administration, and agriculture than all other universities and colleges in California combined.Altogether, about half of the bachelor’s degrees, one-fourth of the master’s degrees, and 3% of the doctoral degrees awarded annually in California are from the CSU. Additionally, 62% of all bachelor’s degrees granted to Hispanic students in California and over half of bachelor’s degrees earned by California’s Latino, African American and Native American students combined are conferred by the CSU.”

“Since 1961, over four million alumni have received a degree from the CSU system.CSU offers more than 1,800 degree programs in some 240 subject areas. In fall of 2022, 11,181 (or 40%) of CSU’s 27,741 faculty were tenured or on the tenure track.”

“Budget $7.72 billion (2022-23)”

The article touches on several of the major problems facing Cal State and then extols all of the “virtues” of the new Chancellor, while being oblivious to the reality that none of her “virtues” qualify her to solve the problems.

She is a Diversity, Inclusion, Equity (DIE) figurehead who will keep the chair warm as the problems continue to worsen.

Our remaining student in the West Coast family received an engineering degree in May of this year. He had a good job before graduation.

His sister said No to the Cal State Nursing degree scam and got an excellent RN degree from a great private college back east. She was immediately hired as an RN by the hospital. She had been working at since Covid. She got her excellent degree in 4 years. The Cal State B$ RN program would have taken at least 7 years with an unconditional acceptance into their program. She now has over 3 years RN experience as a non person of no color.

It is a miracle we win any elections anywhere at all. The major institutions have all been captured by the Bolsheviks.

No, it won’t make any difference in the job. She’ll make it far worse if anything.

But it won’t matter and she will stay as long as she wants...or as long as the nation of Mexico wants, because they have just achieved another historic theft: taking over the Cal State system which they had nothing to do with.

They didn’t start it, they didn’t pay for it, they didn’t sustain it for decades. But now they own it, because of Affirmative Action coupled with mass illegal immigration.

She will turbocharge the discrimination against Americans.

“The students at the CSU represent a new majority of America: The first-generation, the low-income, the students of color, the adults”

Got that? We are De Mayority now and We Will Take Ober. No gringos allowed inside OUR schools now. THAT is what she was hired to do.

The woman is a half-wit who repeats vapid slogans. She has the qualifications of an elementary school principal in El Centro. She has no business running the system at all. But her job is not to run the schools, it is to keep out the descendants of the people who built the schools.

Increasing employee salaries by 1% alone would cost the system $55 million annually — and already about three-fourths of the system’s operating budget is spent on compensation.

Here's an idea: get ride of 75% of the administrators, especially the DEI folks. Keep the accountants and financial clerks. Cut the department budgets 15%, and make the departments run themselves economically in order to win 10% back.
