Under Gov. Gavin Newsom's revised state budget, the proposed funding cuts for UC and CSU are not as bad as the cuts proposed in January.

As Gov. Gavin Newsom prepares to unveil his revised budget proposal, California is experiencing unexpectedly shaky economic conditions, with a likely deficit of more than $10 billion next year.

Gov. Gavin Newsom on Wednesday outlined his administration’s latest version of the 2025-26 budget plan, better known as the May revise. He blamed President Donald Trump and called for changes to the state’s Medi-Cal program to help address the state’s roughly $12 billion estimated shortfall.

California is facing a $12 billion deficit that Gov. Gavin Newsom wants to help close by freezing enrollment in a state-funded health care program for immigrants living in California without legal status.

Schools will receive a 2.3% cost of living adjustment; cuts for CSU and UC will be less than they had expected under the governor's January proposal.

New Mexico, Washington and Minnesota show how to protect Medicaid over millionaires. California should take note.
