California State University administrators say they will hold a 45-day comment-and-review period following disclosure of the final details of a technology partnership they plan to forge with four major companies. This latest delay, which is in response to complaints about the deal, pushes back the signing date until at least May. The partnership with Fujitsu, GTE, Hughes Electronics and Microsoft would bring $300 million in funding for computers, networking gear and support services, but critics say the university system would give up too much control over university decisions.
