UCSB Budget Forum Set for July 9

With California’s budgetary process in shambles and the UC facing an $800 million deficit, Chancellor Henry T. Yang recently announced a town hall meeting to discuss UCSB’s situation. If you want to learn more or add your two cents about how UCSB could deal with a budget shortfall next year of at least $40 million, mark your calendars for Thursday, July 9 from 3-5 p.m. in Campbell Hall. Plenty of UCSB bigwigs will be there to answer questions and hopefully provide some insight into how they plan to deal with such a massive loss of funding.

The meeting will feature External Vice Chancellor Gene Lucas, Senate Chair Joel Michaelsen, Assistant Chancellor Todd Lee and Human Resources Director Cynthia Cronk, as well as Chancellor Yang.

We’ll be covering the meeting, so check back here or at dailynexus.com for more.

   I think it’s also worth mentioning that these town halls were fought for by the coalition of students that go by the name of “Don’t Cut Us Out”. These regular town halls were secured after very lengthy negotiation sessions with the Chancellor, EVC Lucas, Joel Michaelsen, and Todd Lee as well some serious organizing on behalf of the coalition.

   Without their efforts, this chance for us to be involved in the budget process wouldn’t exist.

   Thank you Don’t Cut Us Out!
