Budget delayed for fledgling program
MSU and the University of California at Santa Barbara are the only two universities in the nation to offer graduate-level classes in Chicano and Latino studies. Although this is one of the rarest programs in the country, the university has been slow to set a budget for the study program, run by Dionicio Valdés. On account of waiting on the budget, Valdés doesn't have the necessary resources to properly gauge next year's program.
