Technological changes necessitate constant upgrading of information systems and equipment. Rapid changes in industry and the economy create new professions and transform old ones. Recruitment of top-notch faculty requires salaries that are not provided for in the SDSU pay scale. Outdated buildings must be replaced or renovated, and construction costs have risen significantly in the past 5 years. The remainder of the university's budget must be met with sponsored research, university enterprises, real estate investments, and most importantly, private gifts.
