UC Regents Meeting Starts Today

The all-important UC Regents meeting commences today at UCSF Mission Bay. Up for discussion? Just the little question of the university’s financial future.

With UC President Mark G. Yudof’s proposals for millions in cuts across the 10 campuses as well as pay reductions and furlough days for employees on the table, the decisions of the Regents at this week’s gathering will set into motion some major changes for the UC system. 

The UC chancellors will also get the opportunity to share their ideas and plans for their campuses and there’s no doubt that the public comment sessions will feature some impassioned responses to the UC’s plans.

As Yudof said recently at a press conference, “there will be real pain on every campus. There’s no way we’ll be able to look students in the eye and say this will be the same university.”

Just what that means for UCSB is still up in the air, so check out our second summer edition on newsstands tomorrow for more and be sure to visit dailynexus.com for updates throughout the week.
