[Faculty] Fwd: 2017 Legislation proposal to fund CSU instruction at a minimum of 53%

[Ken Arnold]

Please add my name to the list as well.

See also the attached letter I wrote last year 
pointing out the perverse funding priorities in 
California. Please feel free to distribute it to 
your elected representatives and anyone who cares about higher ed.

Best Regards,

  - Ken
