| a The May Revision reduces the planned base reduction from 7.95 percent, as agreed to in last year's budget, to 3 percent. The administration also modified the methodology for applying the cut by excluding debt service costs from the calculation. This approach is consistent with the methodology the administration used to calculate the base reduction for CSU. | |||
