Next week, following the UC Regents' meeting, I will be submitting a budget proposal to Governor Schwarzenegger that seeks to begin the urgently needed reinvestment in the University of California, San Diego by the State of California. -- The budget proposal for 2010-11 would restore a level of State funding for UC equivalent to what was provided in the 2007-08 fiscal year. It also calls for the State to fully fund student enrollments at UC and to meet its funding obligation to employees in the UC Retirement Plan. This restoration of funding is critical if the University is to continue providing student access and serving Californians with superior educational, research and medical facilities. -- This proposal comes as the Governor is developing his January budget proposal that will be considered by the California State Legislature - and that is why we are encouraging people like you, who care deeply about UC, to email the Governor now. Much more work will need to be done when the Legislature begins its budget deliberations in the new year. Send your message to the Governor at http://capwiz.com/ucsd/home/ - President Mark Yudof.
