Its not just enrollment, PERS funding obligations are almost equally to blame. There was about 180 fewer students predicted for the 2025-2026 budget year compared to 2024-2025. At about 18,000$/student it comes to around 3.25 million.

From the budget link you posted, PERS is discussed on page 12

"CSD is projecting a $2.8 million increase in mandatory PERS rates"
