While the 23 campus system is still the largest in the country, the recent budget crisis has taken its toll. Under Governor Brown&#39;s latest &quot;May Revise&quot; budget, the system faces as much a $1 billion budget cut (36 percent) and a potential student fee increase of as much as 32 percent for the coming year.
