Need for the Student Success Fee

• Cal Poly Pomona continues to confront a structural deficit, currently $23.8 million (and growing).

• Cal Poly Pomona has one of the lowest total costs of attendance

• The average CSU campus has around $6 million more than CPP in additional funds to support student success activities and services - the same services that we offer

• Programs and services that directly impact student success have faced significant cuts, with no room for new programs and activities to be supported

• The only other choice is to starve our core operations to provide a broad range of services to our students
