Dear Colleagues,
As you are no doubt painfully aware, state funding for UC has dropped by nearly $900 million over the last four years due to the economic recession and the state’s ongoing deficit.
Proposition 30, on the November 6, 2012, ballot, includes an additional $250 million “trigger” cut that UC would suffer should the initiative not pass, as indicated in the enacted 2012–13 state budget. In addition, UC would lose a $125.4-million tuition increase buyout in the adopted budget package, for a total shortfall of $375.4 million.
Over one-third of UC ANR’s funding comes from the UC system. After years of weathering budget reductions, we are now faced with the reality that additional cuts to UC ANR will mean the loss of people and programs.
To learn more, read UC’s Proposition 30 Fact Sheet, which can be shared with your staff and volunteers, at http://ucanr.edu/sites/ATE.
Sincerely,
Barbara Allen-Diaz
Vice President
