‘A Budget You Can’t Believe In’
The UC Board of Regents, the 26-member governing body of the UC system, met yesterday to discuss issues of the newly proposed budget. The regents, who meet six times each year at different campuses, specifically addressed the state’s possible increase in higher education funding. Student presence was markedly low compared to the last regents’ meeting, but UCSC’s Student Union Assembly external vice chair has high hopes for attendance at a March 1 rally in Sacramento.

The Insolvent State of Higher Education
State funding cuts to the UC isn’t new. Contributions to the UC’s budget from the state of California have almost halved in the past 40 years. This coincides with the steady increase in student’s fees. The Regents measure to raise fees by 10.3 percent will mark the fifteenth time UC undergraduates have experienced an at least 10 percent increase in their cost of education from the previous year.

It started with a lot of numbers. The first was 80, eluding to the 80 percent of state parks that were facing extinction at the hands of Governor Schwarzengger’s budget plan just this past spring. Then it was 100, the whittled-down number of parks that the Governer’s plan actually set its sights on. But a surprise announcement from state officials on September 25 added a whole different number to the mix: zero, referring to the number of state parks actually in danger.

Twenty masked persons took over UCSC’s Graduate Student Commons around 5 p.m. today, protesting the measures taken by the UC Board of Regents to deal with a budget crisis. Pay-cuts, furloughs, cut classes and privatization are among the issues protesters inside and outside the building wanted to bring to the fore. The occupants and their supporters are willing, they say, to stay as long as they possibly can.
