History
Initial years
The effort to get a four-year university in Sacramento dates back to 1920; However, the law repeatedly fails. Local supporters blame "pig barrel politics" by Bay Area legislators who are trying to monopolize higher education. Sacramento State was formally established in 1947 by law by State Senator Earl D. Desmond, playing hard to resolve it - convincing the Senate's finance committee to withhold funding for the University of California until he is committed. Later, Desmond eventually has 11 children and grandchildren who graduated from college.
Established as a Sacramento State College on September 22, 1947, during a period of intense demand for higher education after World War II, Sacramento State shared space with the Sacramento Junior College. The first semester at Sacramento State consists of 235 students enrolled in 44 sections. During December 1947, the official "Herky" mascot (short for Hercules) Hornet was chosen over the Deer, which was not considered quite aggressive. College colors - green and gold symbolize feet and trees, are also established. The next spring, college held the first graduation ceremony. A single student, majoring in history John J. Collins, who had moved from UC Berkeley, graduated. In 1948, colleges had fielded college teams in basketball, baseball and tennis. In the spring of 1949, the song "Fight Hornet Fight" was won by Donald McDonald. The State Hornet and Statesman's yearbook were first published in 1949.
Some sites for permanent homes for college are considered. A site on 5th Street and Broadway, a site near Fruitridge and Stockton Boulevard, and a site in the Pocket Area of ​​South Sacramento were all denied. In 1949, the state bought 244 hectares of agricultural land which then became a new campus land costing $ 1,650 to $ 1,800 per are. In December 1952, the school left the Sacramento City College property and moved to its permanent location on the banks of the American River. On February 9, 1953, the 289-acre campus opened for some 2,400 students with a parade through the city called "GO EAST WITH WEST", referring to President West. Parking has become a problem at the university, and from the beginning, the drivers are confronted by a sea of ​​mud. Students will only drive as close to the building and parking as possible.
Construction began in 1951. In 1962, 30 new structures have been built and occupied. A campus landmark was created when Guy West Bridge was erected - a bridge imitating the Golden Gate Bridge and named after the founding president of the college.
In 1955, the first Hornet football team scored its first win, against Southern Oregon College. Jackrabbits were a problem in the early years and landscapers were allowed to shoot them on sight through the 1960s. In 1972, the school became California State University, Sacramento. In 2004, it officially adopted Sacramento State as its primary name; it has been used in athletics for some time. Today, Sacramento State is the only comprehensive four-year university in the city of Sacramento.
The university underwent a major expansion in the years of the Korean War, with the 'hearts' of campuses located in Douglass Hall, Shasta Hall, Sacramento Hall (administrative building).
In 1975, the University Union opened its doors, originally composed of 65,000 square feet. In 1981, the State Aquatic Center of Sacramento was established. The Center for California Studies was established the following year. In 1986, Sacramento State created a Master Plan calling for growth of more than $ 100 million. During the same year, the university came within hours because it was deliberately flooded when officials considered blowing the floodgates to avoid the failure of a large embankment in Sacramento. The 1990s saw additional growth, building over 1.2 million square feet of space. In 1992, the Hornet Stadium was renovated, providing capacity for 26,000 customers.
In 2000 and 2004, the campus hosted the Olympic Trajectory and the US Olympic Games. In 2003, Dr. Alexander Gonzalez was appointed 11th president of the University. In its first year, he launched Destination 2010, an initiative that focused on reforming academic programs and building new facilities.
Today
Sacramento State is organized into seven academies and colleges that continue their education. The university is also a member of a consortium that operates Moss Landing Marine Laboratories, offering a curriculum in marine science. In keeping with its proximity to the burgeoning electronics industry, the university developed an expanded technology application for learning through computerized instruction and broadcast via television in a large area of ​​Northern California.
The university achieved an important strategic milestone. Seven years ago, Sacramento State launched Destination 2010, an initiative that focused on creating excellent academic programs, new student facilities and campus culture and a more welcoming environment. During that time, the campus built a four-story Academic Information Research Center, Parking Structure III (which in 3,000 spaces is the largest in CSU systems), the new Hornet Bookstore, Eli and Edythe Broad Athletic Fieldhouse, and the American River Courtyard. living hall (with 600 beds).
Many famous icons have taught or performed at Sacramento State, including Martin Luther King, Jr., Jimi Hendrix, Sheryl Crow, Oliver Stone, Jesse Jackson, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Wangari Maathai, John Kerry, Stokely Carmichael, Woody Harrelson, Maya Soetoro- Ng and Chuck D.
Tradition
Shasta Hall, many people say, haunted. The students have been talking for years about the ghosts in the theater that disturb the opening of the play. Some people think is the state building inspector who fell to his death in the building before it was finished. Now a popular coffee spot, the Roundhouse was controversial when it was built in 1969. Its design delayed many people, and President Robert Johns apparently arranged its construction without the approval of the CSU Supervisory Board. Sequoia Hall was originally built to have attractive white cement, but the funding is getting shorter. Currently the building is standing with plain concrete.
Setting academics
In 1999, Sacramento State was authorized to grant the first Doctorate degree, a unique discovery at the time at California State University. In the past, the authority to grant any degree outside the Masters in California higher education is provided only to the University of California. The program will be a joint Ph.D in history with the University of California, Santa Barbara. However, the program was later removed due to a decrease in registration.
The university was given the authority again to grant the first Doctorate in Education (Ed.D) in 2007, with its first graduation class in 2010. Since its inception, the program has branched into several foci that offer different types of degrees.
In 2012, the university is fully accredited to award the first Physical Therapy Doctor (DPT), with the first class entering the fall of 2012. The program is highly competitive, with over 400 applications for only 32 seats. The program will eventually fade the Master in Physical Therapy by 2015, following the standards set by the Accreditation Commission in Physical Therapy Education.
To date, the university is now awarding two independent doctors (degrees Ed.D and DPT).
Rename
In 2004, the university re-branded itself as Sacramento State, or the State of the Sac for short. The official name is California State University, Sacramento. The terms CSUS, Cal State Sacramento, Sacramento State University, CSU Sacramento and CS Sacramento are inappropriate, according to the Identity Style Guide, even though the university's web address is csus.edu. The University also adopted new logos and seals that replaced previous designs based on Seal of California. In addition, the exact colors of Sacramento State green and gold are formalized in the Style Guide 2005.
The future of the University
President Gonzalez presented the "Redefining the Possible" initiative at his Spring 2012 convention following the success of Destination 2010. The initiative requires more campus development and renewal, all of the CSU Capital Expenditures, including destroying some of the original campus buildings on the central campus, building the Space Planetarium , a 10,000-seater arena, a 4,800-room parking garage (the largest in CSU), four new 8-floor dormitory towers and a 1,200-seat art performance center - all to be completed over the next 10 years. Robert S. Nelsen, former President at The University of Texas Pan-American began his duties as President on 1 July 2015.

Controversy
There is no confidence vote for the president and police chief
In 2007, the very faculty (77% of the ballot) approved the "No Confidence" vote for President Alexander Gonzalez. The vote expressed anger over the President's financial handling, including the $ 6.5 million structural deficit facing the university. They also accuse him of pumping money into recruiting and promoting students rather than academic affairs. Responding to the Gonzalez vote openly replied, "In 28 years I was separated from California State University... I have not found the level of irreverence, clumsiness and direct distortion that I find among some members of the Sacramento State community." It's embarrassing and upsetting me. "
Similarly in 2011, then Sacramento State Police Chief Daniel Davis also received a "No Confidence" vote by 14 of the 15 people who were sworn in. The vote was conducted amid seven alleged sexual assaults that occurred the previous fall semester. This is also the second time the police force voiced concern about the police chief's mistakes.

The plan has worked for the university to operate the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system on its own, spinning around the campus and returning to the 65th University/Light Rail Station. But this has been rearranged due to budget constraints. The Sacramento light rail system was originally proposed to run through a library quad, but then president Donald Gerth vetoed the proposal over concerns for student safety.
The school is located north of US 50 and can be accessed by two exits - 65th St. and Howe Avenue.
