发帖数: 1957 | 1 We are the Academic Council of the University: we are the chairs of the ten
campus divisions, as well as the chairs of the systemwide committees. We
write to address the protests on many of UC campuses over the Regents’
decision to increase student fees by $2,500 per year. This decision followed
budget shortfalls that have entailed significant staff layoffs and cuts to
a range of student services. Faculty and staff also are suffering from
significant reductions in compensation due to the current year’s salary
reductions and furloughs.
We share the anguish over the policies adopted in the face of the state’s
abrupt 20% disinvestment in higher education. The budget shortfall wounds
the institution and community we cherish. We believe these policies are a
regrettable but necessary response to the state’s actions. While we are
committed to doing everything we can to mitigate their effects on the most
vulnerable populations of our students and staff, we recognize that many
disagree deeply, and that vigorous and vocal protest is an understandable
response. The passionate advocacy of students, staff, and faculty for the
University and its public mission has been remarkable.
Many of the protest activities were appropriate forms of peaceful advocacy.
We are concerned, however, about activities at several campuses that
disrupted our educational mission and interfered with the freedom of fellow
students, faculty, and staff, to teach, learn, research, and work. We are
especially concerned about group protests in which a number of individuals
attempted to move past police barricades, physically threaten and throw
objects at police, and surround vehicles to trap those within. These
activities are unlawful and disrespectful of the rights of others, and they
create a serious risk of violence for everyone in the area: police,
protestors, and bystanders. A number of injuries, some serious, were
sustained last week by both protestors and police officers.
We will insist, through all avenues open to us, that uses of force by police
will be subject to inquiry and review, as well as the policies that govern
crowd control. While we expect campus police professionals to be committed
to accommodating peaceful protest, we realize that there may be failures of
policy or individual action. We are committed to ensuring that the
University remains a place where it is safe to teach and learn – and engage
in peaceful protest.
At the same time, we wish to remind everyone of the limits of protest, and
of our obligation to be civil, to show respect for different points of view,
and to take personal responsibility for our own and each other’s safety.
Occupation of university buildings, for example, directly interferes with
the rights of other members of the community.
The problems that confront our University are daunting, and finding
solutions to them will require the collective best efforts of our students,
faculty, staff, and members of the community. Tempers will worsen and
patience will shorten as these policies take hold, but we must channel our
energies outwards, towards advocating for restoring funding to the
University of California so that it can fulfill its mission of providing
democratic access to the great research universities of our state.

降了6%的工资好像。有的学校已经发不出工资了。别的学校在挖人，有些好的教授已经
跳槽了。
博士后的工资降不降？
