California State University officials continue to save costs by freezing hiring and salaries as the state continues to be in budget crisis.

On Friday, CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed said a salary freeze would be implemented on vice president level positions, presidents' and including him effective immediately.

Last year, CSU officials limited the enrollment of all CSU campuses to help save costs, but Reed said more needs to be done.

"We have also been forced to suspend and shut down state-funded design and construction projects on all of our campuses in response to the state's freezing of $600 million in general-obligation and lease revenue bonds used to finance these projects," Reed said in a press release.

Projects affected include libraries, performing art centers and upgrades to campus buildings.
