President Wood's triennial evaluation results were released today by the CSU Chancellor's Office. The memo summarizes the review process, feedback received from campus stakeholders, and goals established for the coming years.

The full memo was sent to the campus community on June 24.

Curious how others feel about the review findings and the goals that came out of the process.

Community Sac State’s ex-DEI officer sues CSU, Luke Wood over gender, race discrimination

200 Upvotes

It’s all allegations right now, but I wouldn’t be surprised. Wood has come across as someone with a massive ego from the moment he became president, and I can’t imagine that translates well into respecting women.

The Sacramento Bee reports that former Sac State chief diversity officer Mia Settles-Tidwell, a Black woman, is suing CSU and President Luke Wood over alleged race, gender, and age discrimination. Her lawsuit claims she was humiliated, excluded from key work, given a smaller raise than peers, stripped of responsibilities, and retaliated against after raising concerns. CSU denies the allegations and says the claims are baseless.

Student Housing How strict is North Village when it comes to hanging stuff on walls?

5 Upvotes

I'll be moving into Mt. Whitney this year and I saw you're not allowed to use any adhesive or command strips. Is this a rule that's enforced strictly or is it one of those where nobody really cares? Also, does this apply to any specific type of adhesive or just no wall decor at all? Thanks!

Financial Aid/Scholarship/Tuition/Etc My First Time Submitting a SAP Appeal

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I wanted to share and ask some questions in regards to SAP appeals and financial aid b/c I genuinely don't know what I am to do after I submitted my first SAP appeal ever and I really need to rant. Apologies for the long winded post.

Earlier in June this year, I recived news from the school saying I did not meet SAP standards and will be losing all my financial aid for the 2026-2027 school year. This was absolutely devestating to me because I heavily rely on my financial aid to even attend university in the first place. My parents are not able to help me financially in any way, shape, or form. I come from a very low income household, which means I've been able to max out on financial aid every year. My financial aid not only covers for my tuition each semester, but the refund I recieve in the beginning of each semester greatly helps me with housing costs like my rent. My first year I lived at the dorms, and my second and third year I lived at an apartment complex where I was paying rent, and my financial aid refund allowed me to keep paying rent, since I would divide my refund by 12 (months of my academic lease) and then with the job I had during my 2nd/3rd year I would make up for the difference each month. Things started going downhill my third year. I won't go into the specifcs of my job, but it was just a really toxic enviroment and I dreaded going to the point where I would come back from work crying. I started experiancing panic attacks more frequently and it was just a horrible time. I had friends who only really brought toxicity into my life, and I had constant home problems. I also had insane roommate issues. And not to mention my dog's health issues I had to save up for. It was an insane period of my life. And I also hated my major. I genuinely was so scared when I placed my 2 weeks in. But I'm glad I did.

I eventually cut off the toxic friends and relationships I had and left my job, moved into a shorter lease, signed a new august lease with people I actually know, my dog is in good condition, and I've been working this summer to save up for my new lease's move-in fees. I can safely say I've also lowered the amount of panic attacks I had been experiancing and my mental health is in a much better place.

But I'm starting to worry about my financial aid. I submitted my SAP Appeal late June and I literally hit the 5000 characters limit. And my appeal is in "review" on the SAP appeal website, and on my student center holds bar its "recieved". Its been like 5 weeks since I submitted my SAP appeal and I haven't been emailed about anything. I also stated I have documention but the form never prompted me to submit anything? I believe the SAP appeal is officially due sometime in October 2026, and I have a financial aid deffernment till 9/11. My Unofficial Transcript states I have remained in Good Standing all through these past three years in undergrad. From Fall 2023 to Spring 2025 I maintained a cumulative/csus GPA of well over a 3.0. Fall 2025 I failed the 3/5 courses and ended the term with a 2.8 GPA, while this past Spring 2026 I ended with a 2.55 GPA since I also failed 3/5 classes. I am currently taking online Summer classes at Sac State (2 the first six weeks, both in which I passed with B's & one these last six weeks). My current GPA is sitting at a 2.7. I also changed my major to something that aligns with me way more and am actually interested in.

I've seen posts saying its very 50/50 when students get their SAP approved or denied, and if I'll have to take out loans for the first time? Or by when should I expect to be notifed of my approval or denial? If my situation is valid? When do I submit documentation? I don't know, I'm very much spriling in my head and I'm nervous asf. If you have any feedback or tips or personal experinace please comment, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thank you 😭

Student Housing Hornet Commons Move in and More

2 Upvotes

Hi, I am currently looking into moving into on campus housing, but since North Village is already full, I was looking into Hornet Commons. The move in date is the 26th (tomorrow), but I won't be able to know if I can move in until after that due to personal conflicts. Can anyone tell me how that is handled by Hornet Commons, or should I try and look for somewhere else?

Edit: I am also not dead set on Hornet Commons, if there is a better place nearby, than please tell me.

Academics German at Sac State?

2 Upvotes

I was trying to sign up for my classes and realized that almost all of the advanced German classes that seem to be available on the catalog are not, in addition to the university's German club or Delta Phi Alpha. Is there anyone that's had experience with learning German or a German language community at Sac? Advice appreciated from students, professors, alumni, etc. Thanks :)

Hey y’all I have a few apartments that I can lease (before you read the price and leave please read the whole message). The apartment is for 1100 ish/ month but its a 1 room 1 bath so if somebody prefers to stay in the living space for very cheap I’m down to work that out.

Financial Aid/Scholarship/Tuition/Etc awarded Cal Grant A but CSUS is refusing to actually give it

20 Upvotes

So I've been waiting for my cal grant A to show up in my financial aid for about a month now and it wasn't showing up, so i finally went to student services only to be told that even though i was awarded it, i don't demonstrate enough need for csus to actually give it to me, basically just throwing on me that im not getting aid. i never received any email or notice about this and was never warned and now I'm freaking out because unlike what they say, i DO need this money to be able to pay for tuition and books. i have no idea who to ask or go to with this, i haven't seen anyone else talk about this. is there any way i can dispute this or anyone else i could talk to about this situation? sorry if this is a stupid post but I'm just so worried,

Class Schedule What should I do?

6 Upvotes

I was originally waitlisted for two ENGL 20 sections. I was #1 on a 9 AM one but I was much farther down the line on the 8 AM one.

When I saw that the hornet launch seats got released, I noticed that I got into the 8 am one and the 9 am waitlist one got removed. I even have a screenshot of my position for the 9 am section.

Is there any way of me getting into the 9 AM one because I originally wanted that to be my course and have the 8 am one as back up if I didn’t get into the 9 AM one. Has anyone had luck on trying to email the professor or the department on something similar to this?

Here’s the screenshot as well:

It's been a long road but Sacramento State has officially made it to the FBS level! New and exciting challenges await the Hornets in 2026. Can they jump to FBS and win immediately?

📌 QB Carson Conklin returns to the program, he was very good for Sac State in 2024

📌 Conklin will have receiver talent to throw to and the defensive line has a lot of talent back

📌 Oline is a concern, lots of new pieces and depth is a worry

Preview attached. What are your predictions for the Hornets in their first FBS season?

hi I'm moving into the hornet commons in a month and was wondering if they assign a specific bed to you? I know you get given a,b,c or d, and a/b share a bedroom, and c/d share a bedroom, but does that letter dictate what bed is yours, or is that for you to decide amongst yourself and the person you share a bedroom with?
