We Could Have Predicted This: CSU Execs Struggle to Justify Poor Budget Practices at Audit HearingBloated management. Excessive compensation. Campus budgets with no accountability. All these red flags have surfaced during our contract bargaining with the CSU. And at our request, an audit was conducted and a special legislative hearing held on Wednesday.Read CSUEU coverage of the hearing www.csueu.org or watch it for yourself [http://calchannel.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?view_id=7&clip_id=4916 ] During public comment period, CSUEU members were joined by representatives from multiple organizations - from the Cal State Student Association to California Faculty Association - who all called for more CSU oversight. Shondra Kaufman, who works as a Campus Travel Coordinator at CSU Stanislaus, questioned the "no-cap" policy for managers' relocation reimbursements. "Should the CSU implement a system-wide cap on moving and relocation allowances, in my experience as a travel coordinator, $10,000 to $15,000 is MORE than sufficient," said Shondra. "Furthermore allowances should be awarded based on the number of miles an employee is moving rather than the level of their classification. There needs to be more restrictions and oversight and the dollars saved can be re-directed to the support and success of our students." Committee chairman Al Muratsuchi concluded the hearing saying that "This is just the beginning," of the close scrutiny CSU will be under going forward.
