are not untouchable: Californians fund UC. 
Californians face foreclosure, unemployment, depressed wages and higher
taxes: it’s time the Governor Brown, UC Board of Regents Lansing, President
Yudof demonstrated leadership by curbing wages, benefits. As a Californian, I
don’t care what others earn at private, public universities. If wages better
elsewhere, chancellors, vice chancellors, tenured, non tenured faculty, UCOP should
apply for the positions. If wages commit employees to UC, leave for better paying
position. The sky above UC will not fall.   

California suffers from the
greatest deficit modern times. UC wages, benefits must reflect California’s ability to
pay, not what others paid elsewhere. Campus chancellors, vice chancellors,
tenured & non-tenured faculty, UCOP are replaceable by the more talented.

UC faculty stop tuition increases:

No furloughs  

18 percent reduction in UCOP salaries & $50
million cut.

18 percent prune of campus chancellors’, vice chancellors’ salaries.

15 percent trim of tenured faculty salaries, increased teaching load

10 percent decrease in non-tenured faculty salaries, as well as increase research,
teaching load

100%
elimination of all Academic Senate, Academic Council costs, wages.

 

Rose
bushes bloom after pruning.

 

Governor Brown, UC Board of Regents Sherry Lansing, President
Yudof can bridge the trust gap to public by offering reassurances that salaries
reflect depressed wages in California. The sky will not fall on UC

 

Californians are reasonable people. Levy no new taxes until
an approved balanced budget: let the Governor/Legislature lead – make the
tough-minded (not cold hearted) decisions of elected leadership. Afterwards
come to public for continuing, specified
taxes.

 

Thanking
you in advance for advocating for California, University of California
