Cal State University Chancellor Timothy White said the decision was made because Cal State anticipates the largest state funding increase in its history.
"In response to Gov. Newsom's visionary budget, I will not bring forward any request for the Trustees to consider a tuition increase for our 2019-20 budget.

You heard me right—tuition is off the table." — CSU Chancellor Timothy White pic.twitter.com/omFQxbLqbB
Gov. Gavin Newsom has proposed a $300 million increase in ongoing permanent funding for Cal State.
Besides keeping tuition where it stands now, the funding will also help the university system's initiative to raise graduation rates.
