–Cal Poly’s economic contributions ripple throughout the county, region and state like a wave, supporting thousands of jobs and generating more than $1.6 billion in industry activity and over $105 million of state and local tax revenue, according to an economic impact study released last week.
During 2018-19, the campus spent more than $1 billion, made up of $535.1 million in operational expenditures, $132.5 million in auxiliary costs, and $70.1 million on construction projects. In addition, Cal Poly’s more than 20,000 students spent nearly $280 million.
The study was commissioned by the California State University, the nation’s largest four-year public university system with more than 485,000 students and 52,000 faculty and staff spread across 23 CSU campuses including Cal Poly and eight off-campus centers throughout the state. Researchers from ICF International Inc., a global advisory and digital services provider, utilized data from the 2018-19 academic year.

SAN LUIS OBISPO Cal Poly shared on Thursday, Dec. 17, details of its winter operations plan, which staggers the return of on-campus students during the first week, requires more frequent student COVID-19 testing, increases on-campus isolation capacity, and includes an all-virtual finals week.
The plan was developed in close coordination with the County of San Luis Obispo Public Health Department.
“COVID-19 is spreading more widely in SLO County than ever before and many community members might be uneasy about the decision to bring back college students at this time,” said Dr. Penny Borenstein, the County Public Health Officer. “With the university and students keeping the health and safety of our community top of mind and strictly following public health guidelines, I can support Cal Poly’s winter quarter plan.”
