发帖数: 954 | 1 Governor Brown is working to create a genuinely balanced State budget,
and he is asking the Legislature for cuts in most areas of State
funding, along with a public vote on a series of tax extensions. The
reductions at UC amount to $500 million, or 16 percent of our State
funding.
The total cuts to the University in recent years are much deeper than
that. Next year, for the first time, UC students will be paying more
through their tuition than the State is contributing in funding. UC's
proposed State funding will be at the level of 1998-99, when the
University was serving 73,000 fewer students – the equivalent of UCLA
and UC Berkeley combined. That should give us all pause.
Our state's leaders need to hear from you.
We need to build understanding that higher education needs to be a
priority, and that there needs to be a long-term plan to stabilize
funding for it. Please help by sending an e-mail to your legislators
today.
