Yudof responds to May Revise
Governor Jerry Brown released his revised state budget proposal yesterday, May 16. The governor’s revised budget holds UC cuts to $500 million, but also described reductions that would be proposed should the state adopt an “all-cuts” budget in lieu of extending certain temporary taxes.
“The governor in his budget document asserted that, in an all-cuts budget, reductions in state funding for the University of California would be doubled, to $1 billion in cuts,” President Yudof said in a statement released in response to the proposal.
“Doubling the cut would reduce the state’s contribution to the university’s core funds – monies that pay professors and staff members,...

On March 8, VP Dan Dooley met with the county directors to discuss the budgets for the UC system and for ANR, multi-county partnerships and recruiting for advisors and specialists.
The governor has proposed a $500 million cut to UC’s budget. Dooley said that the governor won’t sign a budget that isn’t structurally balanced so if the tax extensions don’t get on a special June ballot and approved, UC may be faced with a $1 billion cut.
Referring to the state budget allocation, Dooley said, “The reality is we’re not going to know what our next fiscal year’s budget is until after the June election.”

The following is a message from President Yudof in response to Gov. Brown's proposed budget, released yesterday.
January 10, 2011
Colleagues:
I wanted to reach out to each of you personally today to share the news that the Governor's proposed budget for the 2011-12 fiscal year includes deep cuts to the University of California. While this news is not a surprise given the state's financial crisis, I recognize that it means additional sacrifice for all members of the UC community, who have already sacrificed much.
You are the heart and soul of this University, and it will take all of us, working together, to find a way...
