The California State University system has entered into an agreement with Qwest Communications International for communications services.

According to the terms of the deal, Qwest will provide the CSU system to provide telecommunications services to all CSU campuses over the next three years. These services include calling-card, long-distance, and teleconferencing technologies. The agreement is being handled through the office of the chancellor of the CSU system.

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The CSU system spans 23 campuses across California and employs some 46,000 faculty and staff. It serves more than 417,000 students. The system is perhaps most famous for having graduated David Nagel, who earned his B.A. and M.A. in English Literature from California State University, Long Beach, and who is the author of the article you just finished reading.
