THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA. MY
PRIORITIES TO ACCOMPLISH THAT
VISION. I ALSO WANT TO DISCUSS
THE UNIVERSITY'S EFFORTS TO
SUPPORT THE NEEDS AND PRIORITIES
OF OUR STATE. YOUR SERVE
CALIFORNIA SUPPORTS AND ENHANCES
OUR STATE OF THE MYRIAD WAYS. WE
OPERATE TEN CAMPUSES. SIX
ECONOMIC HEALTH CENTERS THREE
NATIONAL LABORATORIES AND ABOUT
A HUNDRED AND FIFTY INSTITUTES
CENTERS BUREAUS AND RESEARCH
LABORATORIES THROUGHOUT THE
STATE. UNIVERSITIES FORTY SEVEN
BILLION DOLLAR OPERATING BUDGET
REFLECTS A VAST ENTERPRISE THAT
REACHES INTO EVERY COUNTY IN
CALIFORNIA. AS I SHARED WITH YOU
BEFORE MY PRIORITIES FOR THE
UNIVERSITY ARE TO EXPAND STUDENT
OPPORTUNITY AND ACADEMIC
EXCELLENCE. THE STRENGTH IN AN
INCLUSIVE RESPECTFUL AND SAFE
UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY. THE LEAD
ON THE BIG CHALLENGES FACING
CALIFORNIA'S SUCH AS CLIMATE
CHANGE. AND TO SERVE THE PEOPLE
OF CALIFORNIA BY PROMOTING
HEALTH ACCESS ACROSS THE STATE.
INCLUDING IN OUR MOST VULNERABLE
COMMUNITIES. EACH OF THESE
PRIORITIES IS CLOSELY ALIGNED
WITH THE NEEDS OF THE STATE. AND
ALTHOUGH WE DO WITH UNIVERSITY
WE SEEK WAYS TO ENSURE THAT OUR
RESEARCH. OR TEACHING IN A
PUBLIC SERVICE EFFORTS ADDRESS
THE NEEDS OF CALIFORNIANS.
UNIVERSITIES MAKING IMPORTANT
PROGRESS IN ACHIEVING EACH OF
THESE GOALS. DISTRICT ARE
INCLUSIVE RESPECTFUL AND SAFE
UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY WE HAVE
DEVELOPED A NEW DATA DRIVEN
COMMUNITY SAFETY PLAN. WHICH
WENT INTO EFFECT AT OUR CAMPUSES
LAST NOVEMBER. THE PLAN WAS
DEVELOPED WITH INPUT FROM A
BROAD ARRAY OF STAKEHOLDERS. FOR
MORE THAN A YEAR AND A HALF WE
HELD DISCUSSIONS AT THE CAMPUS
AND SYSTEMWIDE LEVELS WITH OUR
COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND SUBJECT
MATTER EXPERTS. CENTRAL TO THIS
PLAN WAS THE NEED TO CREATE AN
ENVIRONMENT WHERE ALL OF OUR
COMMUNITY MEMBERS FEEL. AND ARE
INCLUDED RESPECTED AND SAFE.
WORKING TOWARD EQUITY AND
JUSTICE IS A CRITICAL PART OF
OUR VISION. FOR UNIVERSITY THAT
SERVES ALL OF CALIFORNIA. THIS
IDEA IS WOVEN INTO THE
UNIVERSITY'S EVERYDAY WORK AND
WE BELIEVE THAT EACH MEMBER OF
THE UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY. AS A
PART TO PLAY IN MOVING TACKLE
FORWARD. TO TACKLE THE CLIMATE
CRISIS WE ARE WARNING A HUNDRED
EIGHTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS
RECEIVE FROM THE STATE IN THE
CURRENT BUDGET. FOR CLIMATE
RESILIENCY GRANTS TO RESEARCHERS
IN CLIMATE INITIATIVES ACROSS
CALIFORNIA. THESE GRANTS WILL
SUPPORT INNOVATIVE RESEARCH THAT
WILL PRODUCE REAL PROGRESS IN
CALIFORNIA'S PREVENTION AND
MITIGATION OF CLIMATE CHANGE.
THIS RESEARCH IS JUST ONE
EXAMPLE OF HOW THE UNIVERSE IS
VAST RESEARCH ENTERPRISE WILL
GROW AND GROW OUR IMPACT. THE
STATE ALSO PROVIDED FUNDING TO
EACH UC CAMPUS TO DEVELOP PLANS
THAT WILL TRANSFORM US AWAY FROM
NATURAL GAS SYSTEMS. TO POWER
AND HEAT OUR BUILDINGS. HOUSING
AND I USUALLY HOUSING
AVAILABILITY AND AFFORDABILITY
ARE TOP CONCERNS FOR THE
UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY PROTECT THE
STUDENT HOUSING. THIS TWENTY
FIFTEEN UC CAMPUSES HAVE
CONSTRUCTED OVER TWENTY FIVE
THOUSAND NEW STUDENT HOUSING
BEDS. WE CURRENTLY HAVE OVER SIX
THOUSAND ADDITIONAL BEDS UNDER
CONSTRUCTION. I WANT TO THANK
THE GOVERNOR AND THE LEGISLATURE
FOR PROVIDING UNIVERSITY WHICH
STATE FUNDING TO EXPAND
AFFORDABLE STUDENT HOUSING. WHAT
. UNIVERSITY IS ALSO MADE
STRIDES IN THE HEALTHCARE ARENA
. MOST SIGNIFICANTLY OUR HEALTH
SYSTEM RESPONDED SWIFTLY TO THE
COVERED PANDEMIC CRISIS OVER
THESE PAST THREE YEARS. TREATING
PATIENTS FROM THE VERY FIRST
DAYS THINKING TREATMENTS AND
DISSEMINATING VACCINATION. I'M
PROUD OF OUR EFFORTS. HERE AND
NATIONALLY WE HELP SAVE
LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF LIVES. IT
CONTRIBUTED TO THE WELL BEING OF
COMMUNITIES ACROSS CALIFORNIA
AND BEYOND. I'M A REPEAT THAT
LET'S SAY THAT AGAIN PEOPLE SAY
THINGS AND THEN THEY SAVE
THOUSANDS OF LIVES THIS WAS A
CIRCUMSTANCE WHERE WE REALLY DID
THINGS THAT SAVE THOUSANDS OF
LIVES. COMPARED TO OTHER SIMILAR
COMMUNITIES AND WE'RE VERY PROUD
OF THE EFFORT THAT EVERYONE PUT
INTO LEANING INTO MAKING THAT
TRUE. PREDICTED ONE MAKE SURE TO
THANK OUR FRONTLINE WORKERS FOR
THEIR COMPASSION AND
PROFESSIONALISM IN THE FACE OF
THIS GENERATIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH
CRISIS. OUR WORK TO RESPOND TO
THE PANDEMIC HAS NOT STOPPED.
LAST YEAR WE OPENED THE FIRST
POST COVERED CLINIC IN
CALIFORNIA AT THE UC DAVIS
HEALTH CENTER. WHERE PATIENTS
CAN SEE CARE AND SUPPORT FOR
OFTEN PERPLEXING SYMPTOMS THAT
PERSIST EVEN AFTER NEGATIVE TEST
FOR THE VIRUS. WITH A WIDER
ANGLE AND LONGER VIEW AND WITH
THE SUPPORT OF THE LEGISLATURE
IN THE GOVERNOR. THE UNIVERSITY
HAS LAUNCHED TWO NEW PRIME
MEDICAL PROGRAMS TO TRAIN FUTURE
DOCTORS TO WORK IN UNDERSERVED
COMMUNITIES. L. THE PRIME
PROGRAM PRIME. THAT STARTED
TWENTY YEARS AGO AT THE PRIME IS
FOR PROGRAM IN MEDICAL EDUCATION
AND THEIR SERIES OF. PROGRAMS IN
MEDICAL EDUCATION AND STARTED
OUT WITH THE REGION'S APPROVE
ONE IN TWO THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED
GROWN NOW TO ALL OF OUR CAMPUSES
AND I'M- HAPPY TO TALK MORE
ABOUT THE- UNKNOWN I APPRECIATE
YOUR STAFF BRIEFING YOU BECAUSE
WE'RE ON A WAR AGAINST ACRONYMS
HERE AND YOU JUST TO FIND IT SO
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. RIGHT YEAH
IT WAS ACTUALLY I WAS IN THE
OFFICE THAT IS MY ACRONYM SO I
KNOW I KNOW WHAT IT MEANS
ACTUALLY. THANK YOU. OUT BUT THE
PROGRAMS WERE TO TRY MEDICAL.
STOP WORK IN UNDERSERVED
COMMUNITIES. AND WE'RE NOW
TAKING UP A NEW PRIME PROGRAM A
DDS PRIME PROGRAM TO WORK TO
EXPAND DENTAL LEADERSHIP AND
DENTAL CARE IN UNDERSERVED
COMMUNITIES VERY IMPORTANT. IT
WILL ULTIMATELY ROLL FORTY TWO
NEW DENTAL STUDENTS AT THE UC
SAN FRANCISCO- SCHOOL OF
DENTISTRY. AT A COST OF ABOUT
ONE POINT EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS
ANNUALLY. AND HOPE THAT WE CAN
COUNT ON YOUR SUPPORT FOR THIS
PROGRAM. WHICH WILL HELP TO
ADDRESS A CRITICAL GAP IN DENTAL
CARE FOR LOW INCOME CALIFORNIANS
. WE CONTINUE TO MAKE PROGRESS
ON EXPANDING STUDENT OPPORTUNITY
AND GROWING ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE.
THIS IS ALSO REFLECTED IN THE
GOALS OF THE UNIVERSITY'S
COMPACT WITH THE GOVERNOR. THE
COMPACT TO CENTERED ON THE KEY
PILLARS OF ACCESS. STUDENT
SUCCESS DEBT FREE EDUCATION. AND
INTERSEGMENT OF COLLABORATION.
GOALS I SHARE WITH THE
LEGISLATURE AS WELL. THE 5%
BASED BUDGET INCREASE PROPOSED
BY THE GOVERNOR PROVIDES MUCH
NEEDED BUDGET STABILITY AND
ALLOWS OUR CAMPUSES TO ADMIT
MORE STUDENTS. IT ALSO ENABLES
US TO MAKE CRITICAL LONG TERM
INVESTMENTS IN OUR STUDENTS AND
OUR FACULTY. AND OUR RESEARCH
AND INFRASTRUCTURE. I'M GRATEFUL
TO GOVERNOR NEWSOM FOR THE
PROPOSED FUNDING INCREASE AND
ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT IN
PROVIDING THESE FUNDS TO THE
UNIVERSITY. AFTER WORK TO BUILD
A MORE JUST AND EQUITABLE
UNIVERSE WE WANT TO INCREASE THE
NUMBER OF STUDENTS. VERTICALLY
CALIFORNIA STUDENTS WE HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND ONE OF OUR
CAMPUSES. AND I'M COMMITTED TO
PROVIDING EQUITABLE
OPPORTUNITIES TO CALIFORNIANS BY
CONTINUALLY INCREASING ACCESS TO
A UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
EDUCATION. OVER THE NEXT DECADE
WE PLAN TO STEADILY GROW THE
UNIVERSITY'S ENROLLMENT BY MORE
THAN TWENTY THREE THOUSAND STATE
SUPPORTED STUDENTS. TWENTY THREE
THOUSAND STUDENTS IS ROUGHLY THE
EQUIVALENT OF THE POPULATION OF
STUDENTS WE HAVE A UC SANTA CRUZ
AND WOULD LIKE TO. ADD THAT
NUMBER WITHOUT BUILDING FORMALLY
A NEW CAMPUS JUST BY IMPROVING
THE EFFICIENCY OF OUR CAMPUSES
AND GROWING SIZE OF THOSE
CAMPUSES THAT CAN GROW. THIS NEW
GROWTH WILL BUILD ON PREVIOUS
EFFORTS FUNDED BY THE
LEGISLATURE. WHICH ABOUT IT MORE
THAN THIRTEEN THOUSAND
CALIFORNIA UNDERGRADUATE
STUDENTS AT THE UNIVERSITY.
SINCE TWENTY SEVENTEEN. OUR
TARGET ENROLLMENT GROWTH IS
POSSIBLE WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE
COMPACT AND THE LEGISLATURE. THE
5% BASED BUDGET INCREASE SUPPORT
THE ADDITION OF ABOUT TWO
THOUSAND CALIFORNIA
UNDERGRADUATES THAT THE EACH
YEAR TO OUR CAMPUSES. IS WORTH
NOTICING THAT UC CAMPUSES WERE
ABLE TO HOLD A MOMENT STEADY.
THROUGH THE COVER NINETEEN
PANDEMIC A PERIOD OF INTENSE
UNCERTAINTY ENEMY AT OUR PEOPLE.
THIS WAS NOT THE CASE FOR MANY
UNIVERSITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY
. IN FACT THE UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA ADMITTED A RECORD
NUMBER OF CALIFORNIA FIRST YEAR
STUDENTS IN THE FALL OF TWENTY
TWENTY TWO. INCLUDING AN
INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF
STUDENTS FROM UNDERREPRESENTED
BACKGROUNDS. BUT OUR CURRENT
ENROLLMENT GROWTH PLANS ARE ONLY
PART OF A LARGER STORY. FOR THE
TWENTY TWENTY THREE TWENTY FOUR
SYSTEM ACADEMIC YEAR OUR
CAMPUSES. HAD INITIALLY PLANNED
TO GROW BY ABOUT FORTY TWO
HUNDRED CALIFORNIA
UNDERGRADUATES. THIS FIGURE
INCLUDED NINETEEN THAT YOU THREE
NINE HUNDRED NON RESIDENT
STUDENTS TO BE REPLACED BY
CALIFORNIA STUDENTS. THAT ARE
BERKELEY LOS ANGELES AND SAN
DIEGO CAMPUS. WE'RE NOW THESE
VERY DAYS EXPLORING WAYS TO
INCREASE THAT PROPOSED GROWTH
FOR THIS COMING FALL BEYOND
FORTY TWO HUNDRED STUDENTS. TO
MEET THE ASPIRATIONAL GOALS LAID
OUT BY THE LEGISLATURE IN THE
BUDGET ACT OF TWENTY TWENTY TWO
TWENTY THREE. SO WE'LL HAVE MORE
NEWS ABOUT THAT IN MAY WILL GET
TO THEM- THE STATEMENTS OF
INTENT TO REGISTER S. I. R. DATE
IS MAY FIRST AND SO ON THE WORK
STUDENTS ARE THEN AND- I'VE
HEARD FROM SEVERAL CAMPUSES THAT
WE THINK WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE
TO. INCREASE THE ENROLLMENT
STUDENTS FOR THIS FALL OVER BUT
WE ARE PROJECTED EVEN SIX WEEKS
AGO. THIS ROBUST UNDERGRADUATE
ENROLLMENT GROWTH WILL HAPPEN IN
TANDEM WITH GRADUATE ENROLLMENT
GROWTH AS STATED IN OUR COMPACT
AGREEMENT WITH THE GOVERNOR. THE
AGREEMENT CALLS FOR THE
UNIVERSITY THE INCREASE GRADUATE
STUDENT RURAL AND MOMENT. BY
ABOUT TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED
STUDENTS BY THE TWENTY TWENTY
SIX TWENTY SEVEN ACADEMIC YEAR.
AND WE ARE WORKING DILIGENTLY TO
ACHIEVE THESE BENCHMARKS. BUT IT
IS NOT ENOUGH TO SIMPLY INCREASE
THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS WE SERVE
. ROWING IN ROMAN MUST BE
ACCOMPANIED BY STATE BY EFFORTS
TO NURTURE STUDENT SUCCESS. WE
MUST TAKE STEPS TO ENSURE THAT
NEW STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO THE
ACADEMIC OPPORTUNITIES. AND
STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES THEY
NEED TO SUCCEED. PARTICULARLY AS
WE ARE MORE INCLUSIVE. THE
UNIVERSITY IS TAKING IMPORTANT
STEPS TO PROMOTE STUDENT SUCCESS
IN A POSITIVE STUDENT
EXPERIENCE. INCLUDING THE
ESTABLISHMENT OF BASIC NEEDS
CENTERS ON ALL OF OUR
UNDERGRADUATE CAMPUSES. RAMPING
UP OTHER STUDENTS SUPPORT
SERVICES INCLUDING INCREASING
THE NUMBER OF MENTAL HEALTH
COUNSELORS. WE'RE ALSO STANDING
UP SERVICE CENTERS FOR FORMER
FOSTER YOUTH. AND CARCERAL
SYSTEM IMPACTED STUDENTS ON ALL
OF OUR UNDERGRADUATE CAMPUSES.
THIS GROWING INFRASTRUCTURE CAN
HELP STUDENTS STAY ENROLLED AND
COMPLETE THEIR DEGREES IN A
TIMELY FASHION. IN PARTNERSHIP
WITH THE LEGISLATURE AND
GOVERNOR I'M ALSO SEEKING WAYS
TO EXPAND AFFORDABILITY AT
UNIVERSITY CALIFORNIA CAMPUSES.
MY GOAL IS TO OFFER A PATH TO A
DEBT FREE UC EDUCATION TO ALL
CALIFORNIA UNDERGRADUATES BY
TWENTY THIRTY. INCREASING THE
NUMBER OF STUDENTS TO GRADUATE
WITHOUT DEBT IS NOT JUST GOOD
FOR THE STUDENTS AND THEIR
FAMILIES IT'S GOOD FOR THE STATE
AS WELL. GRADUATE WITH LESS DEBT
WILL BE ABLE TO PURCHASE HOMES
SAFER RETIREMENT OR START A
BUSINESS SOONER THAN THOSE WHO
ARE BURDENED WITH DEBT. PROVIDED
STABILITY AND CONFUSE ME
PROVIDING STABILITY TO
COMMUNITIES. WE'RE MAKING
PROGRESS TOWARD THIS GOAL THANKS
TO THE SIGNIFICANT NEW
INVESTMENTS AND STATE PROGRAM
ENHANCEMENTS CREATED BY THE
LEGISLATURE. THANK YOU. THE
SIMPLIFIED CAL GRANT PROGRAMS
WILL PROVIDE ADDITIONAL
ASSISTANCE TO OLDER STUDENTS.
AND EXPAND THE MIDDLE CLASS
SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM. WILL
PROVIDE CRITICAL COST OF
ATTENDANCE FUNDING TO LOWER AND
MIDDLE INCOME STUDENTS. ALONG
WITH THE RECENT INCREASE IN
FEDERAL PELL GRANTS THE STATE
PROGRAMS WILL PROVIDE CRITICAL
SYSTEMS THE CALIFORNIA STUDENTS
PURSUING THE UC EDUCATION.
PROVIDING ROBUST FINANCIAL
ASSISTANCE TO STUDENTS WHILE
THEY ARE PURSUING THEIR DEGREES
SUPPORTS THEIR FOCUS ON LEARNING
AND PERSONAL GROWTH DURING THEIR
TIME AT THE UNIVERSITY.
DECREASING THAT INCREASES
STUDENTS FLEXIBILITY AS THEY
CONSIDER WHAT PATH TO TAKE AFTER
GRADUATION. OPENING
OPPORTUNITIES IN AREAS FROM
ENTREPRENEURSHIP TO PUBLIC
SERVICE. LASTLY OUR EFFORTS TO
PRIORITIZE COLLABORATION WITH
OUR PUBLIC HIGHER EDUCATION
PARTNERS THE CALIFORNIA STATE
UNIVERSITY SYSTEM. AND A
CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGES
ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO US. A
PRIME EXAMPLE OF OUR
INTERSEGMENT A COLLABORATION IS
THE CRADLE TO CAREER SYSTEM.
NISHA BETWEEN THE GOVERNOR AND
STATE AGENCIES AND THE PUBLIC
ARE EDUCATION SEGMENTS. THE
SYSTEM WILL DELIVER CRITICAL
INFORMATION ON EDUCATION
FINANCIAL AID AND CAREER
OUTCOMES TO PREPARE STUDENTS TO
REACH THEIR COLLEGE AND CAREER
GOALS. WE APPRECIATE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO PARTNER WITH THE
STATE IN THIS WAY AND WE LOOK
FORWARD TO COLLABORATING ON THE
WORK AHEAD. IT UNIVERSE OF
CALIFORNIA WE'RE DRIVEN BY OUR
PUBLIC SERVICE MISSION AND
EVERYTHING WE DO. WE ARE
COMMITTED TO PROVIDING LIFE
CHANGING EDUCATIONAL
OPPORTUNITIES. TO PRODUCING
CUTTING EDGE RESEARCH SOLUTIONS
AND TO OFFERING TOP RATED HEALTH
CARE FOR CALIFORNIANS. I JUST
READ ACTUALLY TODAY IN A FORBES
MAGAZINE ARTICLE THAT SAID THAT
IN TWENTY TWENTY TWO WE WERE THE
LEADING UNIVERSITY IN THE WORLD
FOR NEW PATENTS- MORE- BY TWO
HUNDRED THAN THE NEXT HIGHEST IN
THE WORLD REALLY PLEASED ABOUT
THAT THAT THAT'S- CONTINUING TO
MOVE FORWARD. THAT WAS INSIDE.
FROM BRINGING AGRICULTURAL
PROGRAMS TO ALL FIFTY EIGHT
COUNTIES TO FOSTERING ECONOMIC
GROWTH THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA.
WE'RE WORKING EVERY DAY TO
ENSURE THAT THE POSITIVE IMPACT
OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
IS FELT IN EVERY CORNER OF OUR
STATE. STABLE FUNDING FOR THE
UNIVERSITY IS OF COURSE CRITICAL
TO OUR ABILITY TO KEEP UP THIS
MOMENTUM AND IMPROVE THE LIVES
OF EVERYONE SERVING IN AND
LIVING IN THIS GREAT STATE.
THANK CHAIR LAYERED AND MEMBERS
OF THE BUDGET COMMITTEE FOR YOUR
CONTINUED PARTNERSHIP. AS WE
STRENGTHEN AND EXPAND THE REACH
OF THE UNIVERSITY. WE WOULD NOT

ANSWERING QUESTIONS THANK YOU
VERY MUCH. AND THEN MOVED TO THE
LEGISLATIVE ANALYST AT YOUR
MIXTURE I'M GONNA HAVE TO LEAVE-
AT THIS TIME- WE HAVE A FLIGHT
THAT I HAVE TO CATCH ME
COMPLETELY APOLOGIZE BY. WE HAVE
THE REPORT HERE SO THANK YOU FOR
VERY MUCH FOR THE OPPORTUNITY
HERE- I HATE TO LEAVE YOU. AT
MISTER CHAIR. OF BUT I AM YOUR
WE BENEATH YOUR WINGS. AND IN.
I'M THANK YOU JUST WANTED TO LET
YOU KNOW THAT- I'M GRATEFUL FOR
THE UNIVERSE WORK IN PROVIDING
EDUCATION TO STUDENTS HEARINGS
OF CAL. AND FOR ALL THE CALLS
AND- ALL THAT YOU WERE A TO A-
AND- I THINK WE HAVE ALSO FOR
TWENTY FOUR KNOW THAT. AS OF
THIS YEAR MENTION I AM VERY MUCH
IS A OF THE USER THE WE HAVE
THAT. NEED BECAUSE I THAT HAS A
EFFECT ON A JUSTICE. IN THE F.
ASPECT OF ATTENDING BUT ALL. AND
THE FACT THAT HE HAS A LOCAL.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR HERE FOR
THE WORK THAT YOU ALL JUNIPER
SPACES. THANK VERY MUCH WE
APPRECIATE IT WE UNDERSTAND-
WILL MOVE TO THE LEGISLATIVE AND
. THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN
SENATORS. IN CLIMATE THE ANALYST
OFFICE. OUR COMMENTS ON CORE
OPERATIONS BEGIN ON PAGE SEVEN
OF YOUR AGENDA. I MEAN I'D HAVE
TO PULL THE MIKE JUST A LITTLE
CLOSER TO MAKE SURE AND UP JUST
SO YOU MAKE SURE YOU CAN BE
FULLY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR
COMMENTS ON CORPORATIONS BEGAN
PAGE SEVEN OF YOUR AGENDA. OUR
MAIN CONCERNS WITH THE
GOVERNOR'S PROPOSED BASE
INCREASE OUR FIRST THAT
UNRESTRICTED BASE INCREASES DO
NOT LEND FOR TRANSPARENCY OR
ACCOUNTABILITY AS THERE IS NO
LANGUAGE THAT ENSURES YOU SEE
WILL USE THE FUNDS AS DESCRIBED
IN THEIR BUDGET PLAN. SECONDLY
THE PROPOSED AMOUNT OF THE
INCREASE IS ARBITRARY AND NOT
LINKED TO UC'S ACTUAL COST
INCREASES. AS SHOWN IN THE
AGENDA ON PAGES THREE AND FOUR
THE PROPOSED BASE INCREASE ALONG
WITH THE ANTICIPATED REVENUE
FROM TUITION FEES AND OTHER
SOURCES WILL COVER SOME BUT NOT
ALL OF THE ANTICIPATED OPERATING
COSTS FOR YOU SEE. IN THE UP
COMING FISCAL YEAR. ADDITIONALLY
THE STATE'S BUDGET CONDITION HAS
WORSENED SINCE YOU SEE ADOPTED
THEIR BUDGET LATE LAST YEAR. THE
LEGISLATURE MAY WISH TO TAKE
THIS INFORMATION INTO ACCOUNT
WHEN DECIDING ON AN APPROPRIATE
LEVEL AT WHICH TO FIND YOU SEE.
WE RECOMMEND THAT THE
LEGISLATURE DECIDE ON WHICH YOU
SEE OPERATING COSTS IT WISHES TO
PRIORITIZE RATHER THAN PROVIDING
FOR AN UNRESTRICTED BASE
INCREASE. THEY COULD THEN
PROVIDE FUNDING FOR THOSE
PRIORITIES. ADDITIONALLY GIVEN
THE STATE'S FISCAL CONDITION WE
RECOMMEND THAT THE LEGISLATURE
CONSIDERED THE 5% AUGMENTATION
AN UPPER BOUND. IF THE
LEGISLATURE WERE TO LINK
SPECIFIC DOLLAR AMOUNTS TO HIGH
LEVEL BUDGET PRIORITY. OF
PRIORITIES YOU SEE WOULD STILL
HAVE FLEXIBILITY. FOR EXAMPLE
YOU SEE WOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE
KEY DECISIONS ABOUT HOW TO
DISTRIBUTE COMPENSATION
INCREASES AMONG ITS EMPLOYEE
GROUPS. HOW TO PRIORITIZE- ENE
COSTS AS WELL AS WHAT IF ANY
LIFE SAFETY CAPITAL PROJECTS IT
WISHES TO UNDERTAKE. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO GO. TO
QUESTIONS. IN LET ME JUST MAKE.
A BRIEF STATEMENT AND THAT IS
PER SHIFT- PRESIDENT'S COMMENTS
ABOUT A DEBT FREE COLLEGE AND WE
HAD A COMPLETE HEARING. ON
FINANCIAL AID ALREADY AND IF.
YOU'RE NOT GETTING QUESTIONS ON
THAT OR OTHERWISE STATEMENT JUST
BECAUSE WE SPENT A FEW HOURS ON
IT ALREADY AND REALLY SPOKE TO
OUR DESIRE. TO DO EXACTLY THAT
ACROSS THE HIGHER EDUCATION
SYSTEM SO WE WILL REALLY
APPRECIATE YOUR COMMITMENT. AND
THEN- ME SORT OF A GO TO ONE OF
THE MAIN. IT AND THAT IS
EVERYBODY WAS MENTIONING THE 5%
INCREASE IN FOR THOSE OF YOU
FOLLOWING AT HOME THE GOVERNOR
HAD A COMPACTS. THAT COMMUNITY
COLLEGE ONE IS CALLED PATHWAYS
BUT COMPACTS WITH UC AND CSU.
AND LAST YEAR THE LEGISLATURE
WANTED TO GO PAST A COMPACT SAID
THEY WERE SCALED BACK 25% IN THE
FINAL BUDGET. AND NOW WHEN
EVERYBODY ACROSS THE BUDGET IS
TAKING CUTS THE 5% REPRESENTS AN
INCREASE OF TWO CAMPUSES EVEN
THOUGH. IT PROBABLY DOESN'T KEEP
UP WITH INFLATION AND SO IN OUR
CAL STATE UNIVERSITY HEARING
THAT SYSTEM PROVIDED US WITH HOW
THEY WOULD SPEND THE FIVE
PERCENT. AND WHAT THEY THOUGHT
THE PRIORITIES WERE FOR THE NEXT
TRUNCHEON OF MONEY IN CASE.
BECAUSE THEY HAVE IN PARTICULAR-
THE EMPLOYER UNITS THAT
CONTRACTS ARE COMING UP AT 5%
DOES NOT ALLOW THEM TO TRULY
HAVE PROBABLY WHAT THEY NEED TO
MEET SALARY STUDIES. I WAS GOING
TO ASK THE UNIVERSITY TO START
IF YOU HAD ANY SIMILAR LIST OF
WHAT THE 5% WOULD GO FOR OR IF
YOU COULD DESCRIBE TO THE
COMMITTEE WHAT YOU THINK THAT
WOULD BE. YEAH I WOULD SAY FIRST
THAT THE YOU YOU MENTIONED THAT
THE COURT COSTS ARE IN FACT
INCREASING AND WE ARE LIKE ALL
UNIVERSITIES OVERWHELMINGLY-
PERSONNEL DRIVEN IN OUR COSTS
AND SO- AND THEN I MISSION OUR
BUDGET IS FORTY SEVEN. BILLION
DOLLARS A TO PUT TO VERY LARGE
ENTERPRISE SO WE HAVE- HUGE-
ENTERPRISES GROWING THE CORE
THAT THIS FUNDED BY THE STATE
BUT SUPPORTS OUR FACULTY AND OUR
THE THAT THE CORE MISSION OF OUR
EDUCATION. AND THIS. THAT THAT
IS PART OF THE MONEY THAT WE
NEED TO BE ABLE TO FIND THAT
CORE MISSION AS IT CONTINUES TO
EXPAND SO THE THAT THE PARTY
COMES IN THE STATE IS PART OF IT
THE PART THAT COMES FROM
TUITION. IS A PART OF IT- THAT
WE HAVE CONTRACTS AND GRANTS
ANOTHER THING TO COME IN FROM
THAT SO THERE ARE ALL A PART OF
THE FLOOR THAT WE'RE TRYING TO-
THE INCREASE TO BE ABLE TO MEET
OUR COSTS. SO I THINK OF US AS
BEING UNDER WATER AND TRYING TO
MOVE UP TO A PLACE OR WEAKENED
BREEDS AND THIS IS A STEPPING
STONE FOR US TO BE ABLE TO GET
TO THAT. AND THEN A FOLLOW UP
QUESTION THAT IS DIRECTLY
RELATED THE- THE UNIVERSITY
AGREED WITH YOU A W. ON A
CONTRACT FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS
YES HOW ARE YOU AGAINST FULLY
FUNDING THAT CONTRACT AND- HOW
DOES THAT FIT. ON THE 5% AND
YOUR BROADER BUDGET HOW TO HOW
DOES THAT WORK YEAH THAT'S AS A
LARGE CONTRACT WE HAVE THE YOU
KNOW ABOUT- AND THIS CONTRACT
ABOUT THIRTY FIVE THOUSAND- A
GRADUATE STUDENTS AND THEN
ADDITIONAL. THE POST DOCS AND
RESEARCHERS WERE INCLUDED IN
THAT CONTRACT SO JUST UNDER
FIFTY THOUSAND. PEOPLE AND THE
AVERAGE INCREASE WAS LARGER THAN
THAT OVER THE TIME OF THE
CONTRACTS SO. THIS WOULD BE PART
OF FUNDING. THAT THAT MOVEMENT
GOING FORWARD. AND I KNOW THE-
R. J. HAS A MORE STE. QUESTION
AND MAY MAYBE YOU WANT TO. OUR
TO. RE DIRECTED BY. IT IS
WHETHER ANY OF THE CAMPUSES OF
DONE IN RELATION TO THIS
CONTRACT ANY OF THE FOLLOWING
ACTIVITIES. INCREASING CLASS
SIZES CUTTING COURSE OFFERINGS.
REDUCING APPOINTMENT BLANKS OR
ELIMINATING APPOINTMENTS
REDUCING. GRADUATE SLOTS- ARE
SHRINKING RESEARCH GROUPS WERE
JUST LOOKING TO SEE IF THERE ARE
SPECIFIC IMPACTS. THAT IN SOME
WAYS MIGHT HAVE BEEN ON
ANTICIPATED BUT THAT ARE PART OF
THE GREEN TO THIS AGREEMENT.
YEAH I BET THAT YOU WANT TO SAY
ANYTHING ABOUT THAT I CAN ANSWER
BUT SAM IF YOU'RE GONNA SAY
SOMETHING MORE SPECIFIC YES. YES
IT MIGHT BE THAT BUT I WOULD SAY
IS THERE HAVE BEEN. GOD KNOWS
SPECIFIC SYSTEM WIDE APPROACHES
OF THE OF THAT TYPE THERE ARE
ADJUSTMENTS ALWAYS IN PROGRAMS
AS WE MOVE FORWARD BUT IN AS
WE'RE LOOKING THIS IS THE
IMPLEMENTATION PHASE OF THE
CONTRACT THAT'S- WHAT THE
CONTRACT WAS ASSIGNED THEM A
COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO AND SO.
THEY ALL THE DEPARTMENTS ALL THE
FACULTY THIS IS AFFECTING
THOUSANDS OF FACULTY AND THEIR
INDIVIDUAL LABS AND TEACHING AND
SO EVERYONE IS LOOKING AT THE
WAY TO MOVE FORWARD INTO THE
FUTURE. AND IT REALLY IS THE
ACTIVE IMPLEMENTATION PHASE NOW
AND SO THEY'RE NO. WHOLESALERS
SPECIFIC- CHANGES OF THE TYPE
THAT YOU MENTION I THINK IT I
APPRECIATE THAT I WOULD JUST SAY
THAT. WE HAVE THAT CONCERN THAT
WE WILL BE LOOKING TO SEE IF
THERE ARE SPECIFIC THINGS THAT
FALL IN THOSE CATEGORIES THAT
COME OUT OF THIS. IN ARM ONE
THING THAT'S NOT ON OUR AGENDA
PACKET IT'S BEEN A VERY HOT
ISSUE. IN THE LAST COUPLE OF
YEARS IS THE WHOLE ISSUE OF
CONTRACTING OUT SERVICES AND YOU
HAVE REQUIRED REPORTS AND
DIFFERENT THINGS WHAT'S THE
STATUS OF THAT THIS POINT. YES
SIR WE HAVE A VERY STRICT-
POLICIES THAT THAT THE REGION'S
HAVE ADOPTED THAT LIMITING
CONTRACTING OUT TO THE- THAT DOT
CIRCUMSTANCES THAT ONLY WOULD
REALLY DO THAT WHEN THERE'S NO
OTHER REASONABLE ALTERNATIVES.
AND I. KNOW THAT I WAS AT YOU
KNOW I WAS A CHANCE THAT MANY
YEARS AGO AND WE FIFTEEN YEARS
AGO HAD A- POLICY OF IN SOURCING
ALL OF THE SERVICES THAT WE
COULD THAT'S BECOME. REGENTS
POLICY NOW WE HAVE JUST
COMPLETED AN AUDIT OF THE A FEW.
WEEKS AGO ON THE FIRST PHASE OF
THE NEWEST- JOB THAT. IS THE
LEVEL OF CONTRACTING OUT THE
GUIDELINES AND- THE AUDIT SHOWS
THAT. WE'VE DONE THAT BOB THIS
IS THE FIRST IT'S BEEN VERY HARD
WORK THE ART ITSELF WAS ABOUT
TWENTY THOUSAND HOURS OF WORK SO
IT'S VERY. DIFFICULT TO GRAB
THAT MEASURE EACH OF THESE
CONTRACTS. AND AS I SAID THE
WE'RE OF A LARGE ENTERPRISE SO
WE HAVE A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT
THINGS TO TAKE PLACE ON OUR
CAMPUSES BUT ALSO. QUITE FAR
FIELD AND. SO GATHERED ALL THAT
DATA THAT TOOK A THERE EFFORT
AND I'M- I'M PLEASED AND PROUD
OF THE F. PEOPLE PUT IT TOGETHER
THAT. AND WE FIND THAT THE THINK
THAT'S BEEN GREAT PROP MADE ON
IMPLEMENTING ALL THE REGIONS BY.
AND WE CAN TO WORK FOR ON THAT
SO I THE TOP. IT'S NOT GO TO
HAVE THEIR AN UPDATE READ. THAT
WE'VE BEEN PUT. I JUST HAVE.
SEEN WE RIDLEY AN AUDIT WEEK
HAVE A- ROUGHLY SO THAT WHICH
WHERE WE WERE OF THIS WAS THE
FIRST AUDIT OF THE NEW. LANGUAGE
AND IT WAS ABOUT WEEK BYE. I
THINK DID A GOOD JOB OF FINDING.
WHERE THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES TO
DO BETTER WHERE WE MADE A REAL
EFFORT AND- THAT'S ONGOING WORK
ON DAILY BASIS. OKAY THE ROLE.
MAKE SURE ALL THE COMMITTEE
MEMBERS HAVE AG GIPSON THANK YOU
AND THEN. BEFORE I GO TO MY
COLLEAGUES TO GIVE A HEADS UP ON
COMING THERE IN A SECOND. ONE
MASS THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE-
THE- AS- MENTIONED- THE UC. I
AGREE. AND NOW RESOURCES AND
COOPER BAG. AND WE DID A MADE
RUSH. THE YEAR BEFORE LAST TO
BRING IT BACK WHERE IT WAS
TWENTY YEARS AGO AND THEN LAST
YEAR WE HAD A DIFFERENCE OVER. A
COST OF LIVING INCREASE IS THEIR
COST OF LIVING INCREASE I THINK
I KNOW THE ANSWER BUT I JUST
WANT TO GET A- RECORD. THEIR
COST OF LIVING INCREASE BUILT
INTO THIS ONE WHAT THE
ADMINISTRATION AT THE AT THE
REQUEST OF THE UC IS THAT A
PERCENTAGE. OF THE FIVE PERCENT.
WAS PROVIDED TO THE UC ANR.
UNLESS SIMILAR AMOUNT AS THE
BUDGET. WELL CHECKS FROM
FINANCED- THAT IS YET TO BE TO.
OF THE AMOUNT OF MY THAT- WOULD
REPRESENT THE SHARE. OF YOU SEE
AN R. IS CURRENTLY IN THEIR
THEIR BASE REFERENCE TICKET
REALLY TECHNICAL- AND SO IN
CONVERSATION WITH YOU SEE WERE
DETERMINING WHAT PROPORTIONAL
PERCENTAGE OF THAT AMOUNT.
SHOULD BE GOING TO THE REFERENCE
THAT CONTAINS THE BUDGET FOR A
AND R. AND I'M SORRY I'M I'M
GONNA. I'M EVEN A TRAINED BUDGET
ANALYSTS BUT I'M ENOUGH TO
TRANSLATE IT TO ENGLISH. AND SO
I THINK WHAT YOU'RE REALLY
SAYING IS IF THERE'S AN INCREASE
YOU'RE GOING TO NEGOTIATE WITH
YOU SEE OUT OF THE 5% COMPACT
MONEY IS THAT. WHAT YOU'RE DOING
. I ESSENTIALLY YES. OKAY HE I
WOULD JUST EXPRESS. THAT THE
REASON WE DID THAT. TWO YEARS
AGO IS THERE BEEN A 58%
REDUCTION OVER TWENTY YEARS
BECAUSE THEY NEVER GOT A COST OF
LIVING INCREASE. AND IF WE AND
LAST YEAR WE HAD A DIFFERENCE
OVER THIS AND THEN WE'RE BACK TO
THIS THIS YEAR AND- THE 5%
DOESN'T KEEP UP WITH INFLATION
AND DOESN'T KEEP UP WITH THEY
HAVE TO DO. AND WE'RE PUTTING IT
BACK ON THAT AND SO WE'RE
STARTING TO MOUNT MARCH DOWN THE
PATH OF WHAT WE TRIED TO FIX ON
AN ONGOING BASIS IS NOT STRANGLE
THIS PROGRAM BY THE AMOUNT OF
INFLATION IN EVERY YEAR AND SO-
WE HAVE HAD THE EXCHANGE SO I'M
JUST GOING TO CALL OUT THAT. FOR
ME THAT'S AN ISSUE WE WOULD LIKE
TO SEE IN THE BUDGET AND WHEN WE
GET INTO NEGOTIATIONS WOULD JUST
WANT TO MAKE SURE IT HAS A COST
OF LIVING INCREASE. OUR LET ME
GO TO MY COLLEAGUES OTHER
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS RENDITIONS
GLOBAL WAS STILL GOING TO GET
TO. TO STUDENT HOUSING RESIDENT
AND ROMAN AND PATHWAYS TO UCLA
SENATOR SMALLWOOD CUEVAS THANK
YOU THANK YOU MISTER CARE AND
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR
PRESENTATION IT WAS GOOD TO GET
THAT OVERVIEW AND INFORMATION
AND I JUST WANT TO FOLLOW UP ON.
AND SOME OF THE POINTS THAT YOU
MADE- AND ALSO- MISTER DRAKE'S
COMMENTS. THE SYSTEM IS
OPERATING AT A FORTY MILLION
DOLLAR DEFICIT IS THAT THE
KEEPING HEAD ABOVE. WATERED
FOUNDATION I WANT TO CLARIFY
WHAT YOU MEANT BY THAT. I CAN'T.
NO I JUST MEANT THAT WE HAVE A-
OUR COSTS CONTINUE TO RISE WITH
INFLATION THAT SET FROM. AND SO
WE ALWAYS ARE CHASING THOSE
COSTS- EACH YEAR SO THAT'S I
JUST MENTIONED THAT WE WERE AT
THE SO WE WERE WE MENTION THE 5%
INCREASE WHICH IS A SUBSTANTIAL
SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF MONEY.
IT'S 5% OF A PART OF OUR BUDGET
IT FITS IN WITH A MUCH LARGER
BUDGET OKAY. SO THE SYSTEM SO
WHEN I HEARD HAD A- BILL AT THE
END BELOW MEANING IS THERE A
DEFICIT IS THERE- YACHT SO-
NEGATIVE. NO I THINK THEY WE'RE
DOING OKAY BUT WHAT HAPPENS IS
THAT THAT TIME MEMBER THE
FORMER. GOVERNOR BROWN MENTIONED
THIS ONE TO THE REGENTS MEETING.
THAT THE THAT WE DO EDUCATION
AND HEALTH CARE AND THOSE ARE
THINGS THAT ARE IN HIS WORDS IF
I MADE A MEMBER SORT OF AN
INFINITE GOOD MOVE A BETTER
HEALTH IS BETTER MORE EDUCATION
IS BETTER. TO ROB WAS DOING AS
MUCH AS WE CAN OF THOSE THINGS
AND WE'RE LIMITED BY RESOURCES-
THAT. WE NEED MORE HOSPITAL BEDS
MADE A WHOLE VARIETY OF THINGS
AND SO WE- WORK HARD TO BE ABLE
TO FIND THE RESOURCES. TO BUILD
THOSE THINGS TO BE ABLE TO
SUPPORT THE STATE AND TO THE
FULLEST OF ARTS THAT BUT WERE
NEVER. WE WILL BE WE CAN REFER
TO CATCH UP- AND WHEN OUR COSTS
GO UP. JUST TO MAINTAIN THEN WE
HAVE TO. DEVELOP MORE REVENUE
JUST TO KEEP WHAT WE HAD GOING
LAST YEAR GOING AND THAT'S TO
START. OUR NOR I'M GONNA ASK A
FONG WHAT CLARIFYING QUESTION
BECAUSE OUR AGENDA PACKET. MORE
LAST SAYS AND I THINK THIS IS
WHAT SANDERS SMALLWOOD CUEVAS
WAS OPERATE OFF OF. THAT IF YOU
CONTINUED AT THE CURRENT LEVEL
OF SERVICE. THERE'S ROUGHLY A
FORTY MILLION DOLLAR. OPERATING
DEFICIT TO KEEP THE SAME LEVEL
OF SERVICE GOING IS THAT A
CORRECT STATEMENT. THAT WOULD BE
A CORRECT STATEMENT FOR BSP WE
KEPT GOING GOT IT WITH AYE OKAY
RIGHT. YES THAT MUCH MONEY AND
YOU WITH ALL YOUR SOURCES. AND
THE ENTIRE BUDGET. FIGURE OUT A
WAY TO BRIDGE THAT. SAYS THAT
WHILE THERE MIGHT BE AN
OPERATING DEFICIT YOU ACTUALLY
HAVE A. BUDGET THAT'S INVALID WE
HAVE TO DO WITH WE HAVE TO KEEP
THAT. UP AND LIKE ON. OKAY THANK
YOU LETTING FOLLOW ON THANK YOU
I APPRECIATE THAT EVERY. THAT
AND IT IS. SEVEN IS A IS A IS A-
BUDGET SO DO. THANK YOU FOR
CLAY. THAT I'M IN IN THE OTHER
QUESTION I WANTED TO- FOLLOW UP
ON YOU MENTIONED THE GRADUATE
STUDENT- GOAL AND IN THE
COMPACT. R. HOW ARE YOU
MEASURING BEING ON TRACK TO THE
TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED IS THAT. YOU
KNOW WHERE ARE WE IN THAT. SORT
OF THINKING IN TERMS OF HOW
THOSE STUDENTS WILL BE BROUGHT
INTO THE SYSTEM. YEAH IT'S A
GOLD IN THE IN THE COME BACK GOT
TO BEAT THEM IN THE COMPACT
FIRST WAS BEING DISCUSSED. IT
REALLY FOCUSED ON UNDERGRADUATE
STUDENTS. AND WE WANTED TO MAKE
THE STRONG POINT THAT OUR
ENTERPRISE RELIES ON GRADUATE
STUDENTS AND RIVER FOR VARIETY
OF WAYS. TO ALLOW US TO MOVE
FORWARD AND TO KEEP US GOING ONE
OF THE- BERMAN I MENTIONED THE
PATENTS THAT WE- HAD IN LEADING
THE WORLD IN PATENT IS SOMETHING
WE'RE PROUD. TO DO. BUT WE'RE A
RESEARCH UNIVERSITY HALF OF OUR
FACULTY'S EFFORT IS SPENT ON
RESEARCH. AND WE ARE WE DO TWO
THINGS THAT GRADUATE STUDENTS
ARE PARTICULARLY ACTIVELY
INVOLVED IN. ONE IS THEY WORK IN
THAT RESEARCH ENTERPRISE THEY
WORK IN THE EDUCATION THEIR
PRICES THEIR LEARNING THEMSELVES
TO BE INDEPENDENT PROFESSORS.
THAT'S UP A PART OF OUR DAILY
WORK. BUT ALSO WE'RE TRAINING
THE LEADERS FOR THE FUTURE AND
PART OF OUR OUR- OUR MISSION. IS
TO TRAIN THE PEOPLE WHO WILL BE
THE LEADERS THE ENTREPRENEURS
THE PROFESSORS THE INVENTORS OF
THE FUTURE. AND GRADUATE
STUDENTS ARE ARE CENTRAL TO THAT
ROLE. SO WHEN WE WERE
NEGOTIATING THE CONTACT. THAT
WAS FOCUSED MAINLY ON
UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS WHICH
THAT THAT'S REALLY THE GROWTH IN
UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT IS GREAT.
BUT FOR US TO CONTINUE TO BE THE
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA WE HAVE
TO GROW UNDERGRADUATE. AND
GRADUATE STUDENTS AND WE SETTLED
ON A NUMBER OF ABOUT TWENTY FIVE
HUNDRED BETWEEN NOW AND TWENTY
TWENTY SIX TWENTY SEVEN. AS THE
TARGET IS IN THE NUMBERS ARE
ALWAYS FLUCTUATING A BIT- WELL
THAT'S THE ONLY ABOUT SIXTY
SEVEN THOUSAND GRADUATE STUDENTS
SO THAT'S- A GROWTH OF A- OF THE
VOTE A FEW PERCENTAGE POINTS
OUT. A YEAR BUT THAT'S OUR
TARGET FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS
AND WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR
THAT. GREAT NO I APPRECIATE- THE
CLARIFICATION ON THAT AND I
THINK I HAD JUST- A COUPLE MORE.
QUESTIONS THE FOLLOW UP ON IN IN
THAT IS THE SAW THE CHART IN OUR
PACK IN TERMS OF THE REASON. OR
OR WHAT KIND OF- MAKES UP THE
BUDGET BUT COULD YOU GIVE A
LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL IN TERMS
OF WHERE THE FUNDING SOURCES.
COME FROM TO MAKE UP THOSE
DIFFERENT PIECES OF THE BUDGET
OTHER THAN THE GENERAL FUND
SUPPORT THAT OBVIOUSLY THE
STATE. PROVIDES AND HOW DOES
THAT. THOSE OTHER- FUNDING OR
REVENUE STREAMS YOU KNOW COVER
THE AGREEMENT. YES SO THE- YOU
SAW THAT THERE WERE A VARIETY OF
REVENUE SOURCES AND HALF FISH OF
OUR REVENUE IS AND INVOLVED IN
THE HEALTH SERVICES THAT ARENA
SO PATIENT. CARE IS A BIG PART
OF WHAT WE DO THAT'S- BUT BUT-
HAPPYISH OF OUR BUDGET. WE HAVE
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AT THAT
FUNDS OUR NATIONAL LABS THAT
SAYS TO DIFFICULT SEGMENT. OF
OUR OF OUR BUDGET. WE HAVE
RESEARCH BROADLY THAT THAT IS
FUNDED ACROSS OUR CAMPUSES
THAT'S A SIGNIFICANT. FRACTION
OF OUR BUDGET. DODD WE'VE- DOT
TUITION THAT IS NOW BECAUSE WE
HAVE THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND
STUDENTS ALL OVER TUITION. IS
GREAT IT IT BOB. YEAH IT'S LOW
BUT BY COMPARISON- THAT'S THE
CROSS MANY MANY STUDENTS THAT
TURNED IN TO BE A SIGNIFICANT
PART OF OUR BUDGET AS WELL. AND
WE HAVE A VARIETY OF SERVICE
CONTRACTS AND OTHER THINGS THAT
WE DO OF THAT TO SMALLER
FRACTION THAT THAT'S IMPORTANT.
WHEN I SHOULD SAY AND I MISSED
ABOUT MENTION. YOU KNOW BALLPARK
PLUS OR MINUS ABOUT THREE
BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR AND A
BUDGET COMES FROM PHILANTHROPY
OF THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA ARE INCREDIBLY
GENEROUS IN THEIR SUPPORT OF THE
UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH IT REALLY
DOES HELP US OUT DODD
DRAMATICALLY IN. ALL OF THOSE
THINGS TOGETHER THEN FORM THE
SOURCES OF OUR- REVENUE AND
THEN. ALL OF THAT. WE TRY TO
LEVERAGE ALL THAT REVENUE TO
BALANCE AND SUPPORT ITSELF IN.
IN KEEPING ENTERPRISE MOVING
FORWARD. THANK YOU VERY MUCH A
SENATOR. TH- YES CITY WILL ON
THAT WHAT WHAT IS AN EFFORT
THANK YOU BEING HERE YOU FOR
YOUR TO. GOOD TO SEE- PRESIDENT-
YOU FOR YOUR YOUR CONTINUED PUSH
FOR EXPANDING ACCESS THE
UNIVERSITY CALIFORNIA UC'S
OBVIOUSLY THE JEWEL. OF OUR
EDUCATION SYSTEM THE JEWEL OF
PUBLIC EDUCATION ACROSS THE
WORLD AND- CERTAINLY APPRECIATE
YOUR EFFORTS TO TRY TO EXPAND
AND CERTAINLY WE NEED MORE SLOTS
I I'D- APPRECIATE. THE TWENTY
THREE THOUSAND SLOTS THAT YOU'RE
WORKING TO ADD- WILL ALSO ADD
THAT I PERSONALLY REALLY.
APPRECIATE THE PRIME PROGRAM
THAT YOU PUT INTO PLACE AND-
THAT'S ATTACHED TO YOURS BUT-
IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE CONTINUE
IN PARTICULAR IN THIS ERA. TO
EXPAND- HEALTHCARE ACCESS AND I
THINK IT'S A GREAT PROGRAM TO DO
THAT- FOLLOWING UP ON YOUR POINT
EARLIER WHAT WHAT IS YOUR IN
DOWN AT RIGHT NOW AND WHAT. HOW
MUCH IS THAT GENERATE EACH YEAR
FOR YOUR SCHOOL AFTER THAT UC'S
COMBINED. YOU KNOW IT'S A NATHAN
QUESTION I THINK THAT WE'RE AT
ABOUT. AT ABOUT TWENTY. THREE
BILLION DOLLARS I THINK THERE'S
THAT WE I THINK THAT'S ABOUT.
RIGHT WITH A LOOK AT OUR
LIQUIDITY AND ARE ARE DOWN I
THINK THAT'S ABOUT THE THAT THEN
DOWN ACROSS THE SYSTEM. YEAH
OVER A FIVE THAT'S MY THAT'S THE
MONTH IS IN MY MIND AND SO THAT
GENERATES WILL LIKE YES AND FOR
THOSE OF YOU HOME SO HOW WAS
NODDING YES YES THE HONDA OF.
NON VERBALLY OKAY HE WAS NOT YET
A GREAT. INVENTION IS WHAT LIKE-
TWO HUNDRED POINT TO ABOUT FOUR
POINT 2% AS ARBON DAMMIT OKAY
OUT SO THAT WOULD BE- ABOUT A
BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR OKAY.
PRETTY NICE- IN SO I GUESS MY
QUESTION AND WOULD BE RELAYED TO
THE EIGHT DEAL THAT HE'S
TRACKING WANT TO FOLLOW UP ON
SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT
YOU'RE AT- I HAVE HEARD CONCERNS
RAISED FROM SOME OF THE GRADUATE
STUDENTS THAT I REPRESENT- AND
ELSEWHERE THAT. THEY ARE THEY
BELIEVE THAT THE UNIVERSITY
CALIFORNIA IS PREPARED TO MAKE
MAJOR CUTS IN GRADUATE STUDENT-
SLOTS AND I KNOW YOUR KIND
ANSWER THIS BUT I JUST WANTED TO
DRAW DOWN OF IT IS THAT NOT THE
CASE OR- ANY OF THE UC CAMPUSES
OR OR CAMPUS. YOU SEE WHAT WE'RE
NOT GOING TO MAKE MAJOR CUTS
REPLYING TO GROW UP THE NUMBER
OF GRADUATE STUDENTS WE HAVE
OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS SO
THAT'S A COMMITMENT HERE RIGHT
HERE THAT THERE WOULD THEY'RE
NOT MAJOR CUTS PLAN TO GRADUATE
STUDENTS. NO LET ME MAKE SURE
I'M SAYING THINGS THAT AREN'T
TRUE NO MATTER WHAT. INDIVIDUAL
PROGRAMS MIGHT ADJUST- BUT I'M
AGGREGATE. AT BUT IN THE ARE.
THAT'S NOT OUR PLAN BUT YOU HAVE
YOU EVER I'VE- HAD GRADUATE
STUDENTS THAT WORKED WITH ME
OVER THE YEARS IF YOU EVER
GRANT. AND THE GRANT RUNS OUT TO
A FEW STOP TEACHING A COURSE OR
WHATEVER THAT THOSE ADJUSTMENTS.
BUT IN THE AREA WE ARE GROWING
AS A SYSTEM. FANTASTIC THANK YOU
THAT'S WHEN. BRIDGET THANK YOU
VERY. IN MMHM WE REALLY.
APPRECIATE THIS DISCUSSION I
KNOW IN A FEW OF THESE THINGS.
WERE GOING TO WANT TO CONTINUE
THE DISCUSSION AS- AS- WE MOVE
AHEAD. SO WE'RE GONNA AND I. J.
MY COLLEAGUES. UNDERSTANDING WE
HAVE TO BIFURCATE THIS AGENDA SO
WE'RE GONNA MOVE TO ISSUE ONE B.
WHICH IS RESIDENT ENROLLMENT. AT
THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA.
AND MORE WE HAVE THE SAME PANELS
WE'RE GOING TO GO IN THE SAME
ORDER SO WILL BEGIN ANY COMMENTS
FROM PRESIDENT DRAKE. THIRTY
VERY MUCH RESEARCHER I SPOKE AT
LENGTH OVER OVER THESE YEARS
ABOUT ENROLLMENT GROWTH. AND TO
RE REITERATE. REPLAYED EXPANDING
STUDENT SUCCESS. IS ONE OF MY
PRIMARY GOALS FOR THE
UNIVERSITY. INCREASING
OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH ENROLLMENT
GROWTH IS AN OBJECTIVE I SHARE
WITH THE LEGISLATURE AND THE
GOVERNOR. THIS YEAR. UC CAMPUSES
MANAGED TO INCREASE HEADCOUNT
ENROLLMENT WHILE MANY
UNIVERSITIES AROUND NATION
EXPERIENCED SHARP DECLINES. WE
WERE A CALIFORNIA UNDERGRADUATE
HEADCOUNT BY OVER EIGHTEEN
HUNDRED STUDENTS. BECAUSE OF
REDUCTIONS IN SUMMER COURSE
TAKING AMONG OUR RESIDENT
UNDERGRADUATES ARE FULL TIME.
EQUIVALENT F. T. E. STUDENT
NUMBERS REMAINED FLAT AND I MAKE
SURE I. SAY THAT SO THE HEAD
COUNT MEANS NUMBER OF PEOPLE
THAT YOU ADMITTANCE OF WE
ADMITTED AND ENROLLED MORE
STUDENTS BY ABOUT EIGHTEEN
HUNDRED THIS YEAR. DURING THE-
EARLY PARTS OF THE PANDEMIC
THERE WAS AN INCREASE IN UNIT
TAKING ACTIVITY BY STUDENTS WE
SAW THEM SEEN. AROUND THE
COUNTRY MOVEMENT TO REMOTE
COURSES. STUDENTS TOOK MORE
COURSES ARE MORE UNITS PER
QUARTER THAN THEY'D BEEN TAKEN
BEFORE MARGINALLY. BY A FRACTION
OF A UNIT PER STUDENT BUT TIMES
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
STUDENTS THAT TURNS INTO A
HIGHER FTE COUNT. THOSE NUMBERS
THEN RETREATED IN THE- TOP THIS
LAST FALL SO STUDENTS NOW WE'RE
TAKING FEWER COURSES PER
SEMESTER THAN THEY WERE I JUST A
COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. SO THE F.
T. E. NUMBERS. OR FULL TIME
EQUIVALENT NUMBERS WENT DOWN- OR
KIND OF HELD FLAT EVEN THOUGH
THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT WE
HAD ON CAMPUSES WENT UP WE'RE
FOLLOWING THIS CAREFULLY NOW TO
SEE IF THIS IS A LONGER TERM
TREND. THAT WE TEND TO MEASURE
THINGS OVER FOR FIVE YEAR CYCLES
AND WHAT WE'VE SEEN AS THEY
BEGUN TO TAKE BACK UP AGAIN BUT
THERE WAS A- FLATTENING OF THE
F. T. EVEN THOUGH THE HEAD COUNT
INCREASED. WE'RE BEGINNING TO
SEE INCREASES IN A NUMBER OF
COURSES STUDENTS ARE TAKING
HOWEVER NOW AND WE'RE CONCERNED
ABOUT THE SOFTNESS ALSO WITH
FIRST YEAR RETENTION THERE IS A-
AGAIN NATIONALLY IF THEY- THE
FIRST YEAR RETENTION IS THE
NUMBER OF STUDENTS. THE FIRST
YEAR STUDENTS TO GO ON TO
REGISTER AGAIN IN THE SECOND
YEAR. AND WE'VE BEEN DONE VERY
WELL AS UNIVERSITY SYSTEM IN
THIS. ARENA OF AVERAGING IN THE
MID NINETIES UP THAT'S GREAT.
SOME PARTICULAR PARTS OF OUR
STUDENT POPULATION SAW A DROP
OFF IN RETENTION RATES
PARTICULARLY. FIRST GENERATION
AND STUDENTS FROM LOWER INCOME
BACKGROUNDS THERE WAS A BIT OF
DROP OFF AND WE'VE SEEN THIS-
NATIONALLY. AND BELIEVE AGAIN
THAT IT IS A PANDEMIC RELATED-
THAT. AFFECT THEM WE'RE HOPING
TO SEE REVERSAL THAT. AS WE GO
FORWARD BUT JUST WANTED TO
MENTION THAT SOMETHING THAT WE
ARE. THE CONCERNED ABOUT. OTHERS
ALSO BEEN- WE'VE ALSO FOUND THAT
THERE BEEN PERSISTENT EQUITY
GAPS PELL GRANT FIRST GENERATION
AND UNDERREPRESENTED STUDENTS.
BROADLY AND AGAIN THESE SEEM TO
BE EXACERBATED BY THE PANDEMIC
AND OUR NATIONAL CONCERN BUT
WE'RE- FOLLOWING THESE VERY VERY
CAREFULLY. WE ARE NEVERTHELESS
REMAIN COMMITTED TO CONTINUING
TO INCREASE ACCESS TO CALIFORNIA
STUDENTS AND- PROVIDING THEM
SUPPORT WHETHER AT THE AT THE
UNIVERSITY AND- HOPING TO HAVE
NEW DATA AS THE SPRING ROLLS ON
ABOUT BEING ABLE TO MAKE EVEN.
MORE OFFERS FOR THE FALL. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH WE MOVED TO THE
DEPARTMENT OF FIND. KAMALA
CHAMBERS WITH THE PERMANENT
FINANCE. THE UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA A SUSPECTED TO ENROLL
. TWO HUNDRED NINETY TWO
THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED NINETY
ONE STUDENTS IN TWENTY TWENTY
THREE TWENTY TWENTY FOUR. I WISH
TWO HUNDRED THIRTY SEVEN
THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED ELEVEN
WILL BE CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS.
SYSTEM WIDE TUITION FEES FOR
UNDERGRADUATE RESIDENCE. WILL BE
301-300-0700 FIFTY TWO. IN
TWENTY TWENTY THREE TWENTY FOUR.
ALTHOUGH THE UNIVERSITY STILL
EXPERIENCE IN THE AFTERMATH OF
THE KOBE NINETEEN PANDEMIC.
WHICH INCLUDES LOWER RATES OF
TRANSFER STERN A- SUMMER ROMAN
DECLINE IN STUDENTS AND ROLE IF
YOU WERE UNITS WHICH THEN LOWERS
THAT COUNT TOWARDS ENROLLMENT ON
AN FTE BASIS. ADMINISTRATION IS
CLOSELY MONITORING CENTER
ROAMING ANY TO SPECS THE
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA. TO
GROW RESIDENT ENROLLMENT
UNDERGRADUATE BY 1% AS INDICATED
BY THE MULTI YEAR COMPANY. AS
PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED THE
GOVERNOR BUDGETING ANY OF UP.
TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN POINT
FIVE MILLION I'M GOING GENERAL
FUND. FOR OPERATING COSTS AND
THIRTY MILLION ON GOING GENERAL
FUND TO OFFSET REVENUE REDUCTION
ASSOCIATED WITH THE REPLACEMENT
OF NINE HUNDRED AND TO.
NONRESIDENT UNDERGRADUATE
STUDENTS AND ROY UC BERKELEY LOS
ANGELES AND SAN DIEGO WHICH WILL
BE REPLACED WITH AN EQUALLY
NUMBER OF CALIFORNIA RESIDENT
ADEQUATE. HOPPED ONTO ANY
QUESTIONS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH A
TO THE LEGISLATIVE ANALYST.
INCLINE WITH THE L. L. OUR
COMMENTS ON ENROLLMENT BEGIN ON
PAGE THIRTEEN OF YOUR AGENDA. I
RECOMMEND THAT A BUDGET SOLUTION
BE ADOPTED RELATED TO LOWER THAN
ANTICIPATED PRESIDENT
UNDERGRADUATE GROWTH. THE TWENTY
TWO TWENTY THREE BUDGET ACT
PROVIDED FIFTY ONE POINT FIVE
MILLION- THAT WOULD BE PROVIDED
FOR YOU SEE TO GROW RESIDENT
UNDERGRADUATE ENROLLMENT BY
ROUGHLY FORTY SEVEN HUNDRED
STUDENTS. BUDGET BILL LANGUAGE
ALSO STIPULATED THAT IF YOU SEE
DID NOT HIT THAT TARGET THAT
THAT FUNDING AMOUNT COULD BE
REDUCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH WHAT
THE ACTUAL LEVEL TURNED OUT TO
BE. WELL WE HAVE NOW RECEIVED
UC'S PROJECTED ENROLLMENT LEVEL
FOR TWENTY THREE TWENTY FOUR-
AND THAT LEVEL IS GOING TO BE. A
BIT SHORTER THAN WHAT WAS
STIPULATED BY THE TWENTY TWO
TWENTY THREE BUDGET ACT WE
CALCULATED THAT DIFFERENCE TO BE
ROUGHLY FIFTEEN POINT SIX
MILLION BELOW THE FIFTEEN OF
FIFTY ONE POINT FIVE MILLION-
THAT THEY WOULD RECEIVE IF WE
WERE TO A LINE THAT FUNDING
LEVEL. WITH THE ACTUAL OR THE
PROJECTED TWENTY THREE TWENTY
FOUR AND MOMENT LEVEL. AT THE
LEGISLATURE COULD ALSO GO
FURTHER AND REDUCE THE FULL
FIFTY ONE POINT FIVE MILLION IN.
AS YOU SEE DOES NOT ANTICIPATE
THAT THEY WILL BE BRINGING IN
ANY ADDITIONAL STUDENTS FOR THE
TWENTY TO TWENTY THREE ACADEMIC
YEAR. THERE ARE FUTURE CONCERNS
WITH RESPECT TO ENROLLMENT FOR
YOU SEE. A CALIFORNIA HIGH
SCHOOL GRADUATION RATES ARE DOWN
AND AS YOU JUST HEARD MOMENTS
AGO THE- SUCCESS REGARDING
TRANSFER STUDENTS AND THE
RETENTION OF CURRENT STUDENTS
HAS BEEN MIXED. GIVEN THIS
UNCERTAINTY WE RECOMMEND THAT
THE LEGISLATURE SPECIFY A GROWTH
TARGET FOR THE TWENTY TWENTY
FOUR TWENTY FIVE ACADEMIC YEAR.
THIS PROCESS CAN BE DONE FOR THE
TWENTY THREE TWENTY FOUR MISSION
CYCLE AS ADMISSIONS PACKAGES ARE
ALREADY BEING PRODUCED. THE
TWENTY FOUR TWENTY FIVE WOULD BE
THE FIRST UPCOMING CYCLE WHERE
BY THE LEGISLATURE COULD
INFLUENCE ENROLLMENT. AND SAID
IN A MOMENT EXPECTATIONS. THE
LEGISLATURE COULD USE UC'S PLAN
ENROLLMENT GROWTH AS SHOWN ON
PAGE THIRTEEN OF YOUR AGENDA. OR
COULD ADOPT A HIGHER OR LOWER
LEVEL THAN THAT AMOUNT. WITH
RESPECT TO NON RESIDENT
ENROLLMENT REPLACEMENT AT UCLA
SAN DIEGO ON THE BERKELEY
CAMPUS. WE RECOMMEND THAT THE
LEGISLATURE APPROVED A THIRTY
MILLION DOLLAR AUGMENTATION. I
UC IS LIKELY TO MEET THE TWENTY
TO TWENTY THREE REDUCTION MARC.
THIS ACTION IS CONSISTENT WITH
STATE LAW AND RECENT BUDGET
ACTIONS. WITH RESPECT TO
GRADUATE ROMAN WHICH WE HAVE
JUST SPOKE ABOUT THE COMPACT
IDENTIFIES THAT YOU SEE IS TO
GROW. GRADUATE ROMAN BY TWENTY
FIVE HUNDRED STUDENTS BY TWENTY
TWENTY SIX TWENTY SEVEN. THE
BECKLEY GRADUATE ROMAN IS
DETERMINED BY WORKFORCE NEEDS IN
THE STATE. LEGISLATURE COULD SET
A TARGET FOR TWENTY FOUR TWENTY
FIVE JUST AS RECOMMENDED- FOR
THE UNDERGRADUATE. APPLICANTS
HOWEVER THE CURRENT APPROACH
COULD STILL WORK IF THERE ARE NO
IMMEDIATE WORKFORCE NEEDS IN THE
STATE. HOWEVER WE DO RECOMMEND
THAT THE LEGISLATURE SEEK BETTER
INFORMATION ON HOW YOU SEE WILL
COVER THE COST OF THE
ANTICIPATED. INCREASE OF
GRADUATE STUDENTS AS GRAD
STUDENTS TYPICALLY DO NOT COVER
THEIR ASSOCIATED COSTS. AND
REALLY MORE STUDENTS COULD
WORSEN UC'S PROJECTED OPERATING
SHORTFALL. THANK YOU. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH AND I THINK TO START
QUESTIONS. WONDERING JUST ASK IF
THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE OR-
RIGHT AND- THE- UC- HAS A
RESPONSE TO. THE LEGISLATIVE
ANALYST'S BUDGET SOLUTIONS WITH
REGARD TO IMPLEMENT ONCE WE
START WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE. CORRECT AS THE PREMIER
FINANCE. DEMONSTRATION BELIEVES
THE CERAMIC CHALLENGES ARE
TEMPORARY. AND AS PART OF THE
COMPAQ WE CONTINUE TO PROVIDE
SUPPORT TO STUDENTS AND ENSURE
THE COMPACT DELIVERS ACCESS. TO
HIDE EDUCATION AND EQUITY WE
SHOULD. EIGHT THE SEGMENTS IN
MEETING THEIR ROMAN TARGET.
DEMONSTRATION ALSO SEES AT THE
COMPANY GOALS IN THE CONTEXT OF
THE ENTIRE WINDOW. DURING WHICH
THE COMPAQ IS ACTIVE. YOU SEE
THE BALLOT BUT PLAN TO ADDRESS
THE ROMAN DECLINE IN RESPECT THE
SEGMENT TO GET BACK IN TRACK.
OKAY THE UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA. YEAH I LIKE WHAT SHE
SAID. I THINK YOU KNOW THE AND
THAT THESE TARGETS AND MAY I
HEAR THE NUMBER STUDENTS ARE
GONNA HAVE THEIR LOOK LISTED TO
THE DECIMAL POINT. AND THERE ARE
THINGS THAT CAUSE THEM TO VARY
THAT INDIVIDUAL AND THE HUMAN
DECISIONS THAT MENTIONS THE
NUMBER OF UNITS THAT STUDENTS
TAKE ON AVERAGE THESE THINGS
FLUCTUATE OVER TIME. ONE OF THE
GREAT THINGS ABOUT THE COMPACT
IS THAT WE HAVE FIVE YEARS OF
PLANNING SO WE CAN HIRE THE
FACULTY TO CREATE THE COURSES
TO. GET THEIR LAB STARTED TO DO
THE WORK THAT THEY NEED KNOWING
THAT THERE'S A RUN WAY AHEAD IF
THERE'S A STRING THAT GETS
JERKED EVERY YEAR DEPENDING ON
FLUCTUATIONS AND ARE MOVING
FORWARD TO SAY WAIT A MINUTE
WE'VE- GOT THINGS LOOK LIKE THEY
MIGHT BE SLOWING DOWN. LET'S PUT
THE BRAKES ON EVEN MORE. THAT
MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR US TO
PLAN EFFECTIVELY AND IF WE'RE
GOING TO. GROW TO MEET THE
WORKFORCE NEEDS OF THE FUTURE IN
THIS MULTI. YEAR ARRANGEMENTS
THAT WE HAVE WITH STUDENTS
COMING MOVING FORWARD. WE HAVE
TO HAVE A STABLE FUNDING
PLATFORM WITH WHICH TO GROW.
SIDE THAT I THINK IS VERY VERY
IMPORTANT WE CONTINUE WITH THE
STABLE FUNDING BACKED BY FOR
THAT'S WHY WE- MADE A FIVE YEAR
PACKED WITH THAT THE GOVERNOR TO
GO FORWARD AND- THAT WE- TO.
CONTINUE TO LIVE UP TO GROW IT
IS ALSO WHY. DO YOU DUBBED THE
NEW TUITION- HE SCHEME OR
WHATEVER YOU CALL IT IN TWENTY
TWENTY ONE. AND IS THAT GOING IN
A WAY THAT YOU DON'T THINK IT'S
AFFECTING ENROLLMENT DOOR HOW IS
THAT WORK. YEAH WE JUST CAME IN
THE EUROPEAN INSTANCE OF THE
WORD IF I MAY- THIS WAS THE UP
TUITION STABILITY PLAN BUT
SOMETHING THAT WE HAD A- AN
ISSUE OVER DECADES. OF SPIKES IN
THE IN TUITION. IN FACT
GENERALLY WHEN THINGS WERE BAD
IN THE STATE. AND WE'D BE STATUS
SQUEEZED BY THE OUR STATE
FUNDING. THEN WE HAVE TO TURN TO
TUITION INCREASES TO MEET OUR
SHORTFALL. AND IT WAS THE
EXACTLY OUT OF WHACK WITH WHAT
WAS GOOD FOR THE PEOPLE OF
CALIFORNIA WHEN THEY WERE HAVING
A DIFFICULT TIME TUITION WOULD
GO UP. WHEN TIME FOR GOOD THEN
ABOUT TUITION WILL BE FLAT. AND
WE FOUND IT WAS THAT QUITE HARD
. THANK FAMILIES ON THE MARGIN.
THE TUITION STABILITY HAS A JOB
FLOW IF WE LOOK AT OVERTIME.
THOUGH THERE WAS GENERALLY A AN
AMOUNT OF PLACE OVER TEN OR TWO
OR- YEARS. THAT KIND OF SMOOTH
OUT TO. THE- WHATEVER. THE NORM
PRICE OF THE- OF THE UGLY. INFO
BY TO THEIR- THE- LOS DIGIT OR
SINGLE DIGIT NUMBER OF INFLATION
OVER YEARS. BUT IT WOULD GO UP
DRAMATICALLY AND THEN BE FLAT
THEN GO UP DRAMATICALLY IN B.
FLAT AND BE QUITE. DISRUPTIVE
FOR OUR FUNCTION AND QUITE
DISRUPTIVE FOR FAMILIES. SO WE
ADOPTED THAT THE TUITION
STABILITY PLAN WHICH MEANS THAT
IN A GIVEN YEAR THE TUITION. MAY
FLUCTUATE BASED ON INFLATION BUT
FOR FAMILY COMING IN THAT
TUITION STAYS THE SAME FOR SIX
YEARS. SOURCE STUDENT WHO COMES
IN KNOWS THAT THEIR TUITION IF
YOUR TUITION 1-300-010-0402
DOLLARS. WHEN YOU COME IN AS A
FRESHMAN. GRADUATE IN FOUR YEARS
OR IN FIVE YEARS YOU'RE TUITION
STAYS THE SAME THE WHOLE WAY FOR
SIX YEARS. AND IT JUST GOES UP
BY THAT ONE COHORT EACH YEAR
OVER TIME THAT THEN ALSO THOUGH
BUILDS IN A STABLE LEVEL OF
INCREASE FOR THE UNIVERSITY.
THAT AGAIN MERE SORT OF COST OF
LIVING INCREASES WE JUST STARTED
THIS A FEW YEARS AGO SO TAKE A
FEW YEARS BEFORE WE- WE CATCH UP
BUT IT'S BEEN. ACTUALLY VERY
POPULAR WITH FAMILIES- WHO CAN
NOW PLAN. BETTER AND I WILL SAY
THAT. WE DID SOMETHING ON YOU
WHEN WE- THAT MADE THIS SUCH. WE
ASK RETURNED 45% OF THAT TUITION
MONEY TO AID AND SO. NEARLY HALF
OF IT GOES BACK INTO OUR ARE
NEED BASED AID POOL TO HELP
LOWER INCOME STUDENTS LOWER
INCOME FAMILIES AND SO IT. IS
REALLY A PART OF OUR DEBT FREE
PATHWAY TO THE FUTURE BY
MAINTAINING STABILITY. IN THAT
IN TUITION FOR FAMILIES FROM
UPPER INCOME BRACKETS. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH. I HAD TWO OTHER
QUESTIONS AND ONE OF THEM GOT
ANSWERED WHICH IS. THE GRADUATE
STUDENT ENROLLMENT ISSUE AND
THEN MY LAST QUESTION. HAS TO DO
WITH FACILITIES. AND YOU ARE
PROJECTING CERTAIN ENROLLMENTS.
HOW DO YOU MATCH IT WITH
WHATEVER YOUR FACILITIES PLAN.
PLANS ARE AND WHETHER OR NOT
YOU'RE ON THE FACILITIES
AVAILABLE TO MATCH THE IN ROOM.
WELL GREAT QUESTION AND- CERNER
SMALLWOOD GRASS THAT GROWS
MENTIONED EARLIER. YOU KNOW WHAT
OUR HOWEVER BUDGETS WORK AND WE
ARE ALWAYS PUSHING ON HAVING
FACILITIES THAT. ARE
APPROPRIATE. FOR FOR US. IN
DEBT. TO BE ABLE TO MEET THE
NEEDS OF OUR- COMMUNITY IN THE
AND THAT WORKS IN TWO WAYS ONE
THE FACILITIES THAT WE NEED TO
GROW TO BE ABLE TO. HANDLE ARE
EXPANDING SIZE. AND ALSO OUR
DEFERRED MAINTENANCE AND
SEISMIC- THAT NEEDS TO MAKE SURE
THAT THE FACILITIES THAT WERE
USING OUR UP TO. OUR ARE UP TO
SNUFF AND SO THAT'S A- IT IS
SOMETHING THAT WE CAN. BOB INFO
ON AS WE MOVE FORWARD WE- I WILL
SAY THAT ONE THE SECOND THING IS
THAT IF WE LOOK AT ENROLLMENT
GROWTH AND PARTICULARLY F. T. E.
ENROLLMENT GROWTH AS I
MENTIONED. WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT
NONTRADITIONAL WAYS OF
ACCOMMODATING THAT GROWTH SO ONE
IS BY HAVING MORE COURSES THAT
ARE TECHNOLOGY IN HAND STORE. SO
THEY DON'T REQUIRE EXTRA
CLASSROOMS AS MUCH AS- THEY
MIGHT HAVE IN THE PAST AND I'LL
I WILL. INSTITUTIONS THAT AND I
STUDY ABROAD PROGRAMS AND OTHER
PLACES THAT ALLOW OUR STUDENTS
TO HAVE A BROAD EXPERIENCE ABOUT
MAKING USE OF FACILITIES THAT
OTHERS MAINTAINED YOU KNOW THAT
UCLA WE JUST PURCHASED IN FACT A
CAMPUS- THAT HAD DONE A COLLEGE
THE SMALL COLLEGE IT WAS GOING.
OUT OF THE BUSINESS AND WAS ABLE
TO FROM. BE PURCHASED AT AN
EFFECTIVE RATE TO ALLOW UCLA TO
EXPAND. ITS REACH BY USING
FACILITIES THAT WERE NOT
PREVIOUSLY BUILT THAT AND ARE
NOT IN GOOD SHAPE BUT WERE NOT
OWNED BY THE UNIVERSITY BEFORE.
USUALLY ALSO IS BUYING A NEW
HOSPITAL- IN AND THE WILSHIRE
DISTRICT- WHICH IS MUCH LESS
EXPENSIVE THAN BUILDING A
HOSPITAL FROM SCRATCH AND SO
THERE ARE A VARIETY OF THINGS
THAT WE DO TO. TRY TO TAKE THE
OPPORTUNITY THAT WE HAVE TO
CONTINUE MOVING FOR WITH OUR
MISSION. AND TO. YEP MAINTAIN
OUR FACILITIES SO THAT THEY ARE.
SAFE AND EFFECTIVE TO OPERATE
WHERE APPROPRIATE TO BUILD NEW
FACILITIES AND THEN TO ACQUIRE
OTHERS OR USE TECHNOLOGY
ENHANCED THAT WAYS OF ALLOWING
PEOPLE TO MOVE FORWARD IN THEIR
EDUCATION. AND RESEARCH- SO ALL
THOSE THINGS. WE'VE HAD THIS
DISCUSSION OUTLINED THE LAST
COUPLE OF YEARS SO I ALMOST FEEL
OBLIGATED TO STIPULATE ALL PRIOR
COMMENTS BUT I THINK THAT. THAT
JUST GLOBALLY. THE REAL ISSUE IS
BEEN AND I REALLY APPRECIATE
WHAT YOU JUST SAID. THAT ALL THE
EXISTING FOOTPRINTS THINGS ARE
BEING JAMMED INTO AND I
APPRECIATE THAT THERE MIGHT BE
SOME ONLINE THINGS. AND THE FACT
THAT THERE MIGHT BE SOME
FACILITIES. THAT REQUIRED. OF
THAT WORK WOULD BE ANOTHER THING
AND I APPRECIATE THAT IT WAS
SAID IN THE PREVIOUS HEARINGS.
THAT SOMETIMES THAT DOESN'T WORK
AS WELL BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO HAVE
A CERTAIN KIND OF INFRASTRUCTURE
WHETHER IT'S COUNSELORS FOOD
SERVICE HOUSING. THAT COMES WITH
THOSE ADDITIONAL FACILITIES AND
IT'S NOT AS EASY AS IT SEEMS OF
THE- MILLS COLLEGE WAS A VERY
EXCITING MIRAGE FOR A- PERIOD OF
TIME AND I A- AND I JUST WOULD
ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO THAT
BECAUSE- SOME. OF OUR CAMPUSES
ARE JUST. AT THE WHITE EVERY THE
BERKELEY CAMPUS JUST SEEM. TO
CONTINUOUSLY GROW AND IT WAS
REALLY SOMEWHERE AT THE FOOT
PRINT IT WAS LONG SINCE PASSED
WHAT WAS EXPECTED TO BE THERE.
AND IT FORCES THESE ISSUES THAT
EVERYBODY FIGHTS ABOUT BECAUSE
WE'RE NOT DOING. SOME OTHER
THINGS SO I JUST ENCOURAGE YOU
TO CONTINUE TO DO THAT BECAUSE-
FREQUENTLY THAT LANDS ON US AND
ON OUR AGENDA POINTS OUT WHAT I
ALREADY KNEW THAT. THE TWO
CAMPUSES ONE OF THEM BEING MY
HOME CAMPUS- HE HAS REALLY
LINKED ADDITIONAL ENROLLMENT TO
BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE HOUSING
YES AND. AND WE'RE GONNA GET TO
THE HOUSING SO WE'LL DO IT. OUR
SENATORS QUITE THE A POSITIVE
LET ME IF I JUST WANT TO AT THE
EDGE WHAT USE IF I. EXPERIENCE
AND BY. ONE OF THINGS THAT
HAPPENED I THINK WE- THE ONLINE
. AND WE SEE THIS AS A WAY TO
KIND OF USE AS A LIKE ALMOST A
SEASON NOT TO RIP. WHAT DOING
WITH OUR AND- COURSES BUT ADD ON
AFTER. WITHIN THE IN PERSON
EXPERIENCE THAT WE HAVE SO THAT
IT'S MAYBE IT'S 5% MAYBE 10% OR
SO OF THE COURSES- WHAT IT WILL
DO IS WE THINK HELP THE
THROUGHPUT OF TIME SO THAT
STUDENTS ARE ABLE TO GRADUATE
HAVE A SHORTER. TIME 2 DEGREES
THEY WERE ABLE TO SERVE MORE
STUDENTS WITH ARE ARE BUILT
AGRIC BARB OUR BUILT ENVIRONMENT
THAT MEET. IN A FOLLOW UP
QUESTION I'M SORRY BECAUSE I
GENUINELY GOING TO GO TO SEND A
SMALL WESLEY THIS WE HAD AN
ANIMATED DISCUSSION THE CSU
HEARING. BECAUSE THEY HAVE AN
EXPLICIT PROGRAM TO LOWER. THE
TIME TO AS MANY STUDENTS AS
POSSIBLE IN FOUR YEARS ARE GOING
THROUGH I KNOW THAT'S A GOAL
THAT YOU SEE HAS BEEN DO YOU
HAVE. EXPLICIT PROGRAM EFFORTS
TO TRY TO DO THAT IT WHERE IT AT
ABOUT FOUR POINT OH NINE YEARS-
2 DEGREES NOW WHICH IS REALLY
QUITE GOOD FOR FIVE UNIVERSITIES
THAT NATIONALLY WE LOVED. THAT
TO FOUR POINT OH OR YOUR THREE
POINT NINE NINE EVEN I MEAN THAT
WOULD BE GREAT. AND WHAT WE
FOUND THIS I LEARNED MORE ABOUT
MY PRIOR. EXPLICIT PROGRAM WHERE
WE WERE ABOUT FOUR POINT THREE
FIVE TRYING TO GET TO FOUR POINT
TWO FIVE MY- PRIOR INSTITUTION.
AND WHAT WE FOUND IS THAT BY
EXPANDING THE CURRICULUM WITH.
THE I. B. SAY TECHNOLOGY ENHANCE
BUT THIS IS MAINLY ONLINE
COURSES. THAT STUDENTS COULD GET
THROUGH THE CURRICULUM TO THEIR
DESIRED MAJOR OUTCOME MORE
QUICKLY AND MORE EASILY EASILY.
A BROADLY. AND WE DIDN'T HAVE AS
MANY STUDENTS IN THE FIFTH OR
SIXTH YEAR FOR AN UNDERGRADUATE
DEGREE. AS WE HAD FEWER FIFTH
AND SIXTH YEAR STUDENTS WE CAN
HAVE MORE FIRST YEAR STUDENTS
ARE SECOND OR THIRD OR FOURTH
AND SO. WE ACTUALLY COULD MAKE
THE UNIVERSITY OPPORTUNITY
AVAILABLE TO MORE STUDENTS. IN
OUR SAME FOOTPRINT BY JUST. HOW
OF THOSE STUDENTS WHO WERE THERE
GET THE CLASS AND- THEN THE-
CURRICULUM FOR THEIR DEGREES
THAT THEY NEEDED THAT. IS
SOMETHING THAT WORKS. TO
FORWARD. THIS WAS DONE. IN THE
PRE PANDEMIC PERIOD WE'RE NOW
LOOKING AT WAYS TO DO THIS IN
THE POST PANDEMIC MY PERIOD AS
WELL TO JUST. MAKE THAT
OPPORTUNITY MORE AVAILABLE THANK
YOU AND THANKS TO SENATOR
SMALLWOOD CUEVAS FOR. ABIDING
THAT ADDITIONAL STRANGE. HOURS
OVER TO CHAIR. YEAH IT'S JUST
THE TWO OF US THAT. FEEL FREE TO
AS WELL NOW THIS IS LIKE THE
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES YOU
ALWAYS THINK THAT EVERYBODY'S
THERE WE WON'T CALL OUT THAT'S
RIGHT I THINK THE THIRD ONE'S
COMING BACK OKAY OKAY SO WE'RE
WE'RE- WE'RE- WE'RE FINE- I
GUESS. MY ON- THE A MOMENT AND I
THINK THE- THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE USED THE TERM EQUITY.
AND HOW YOU YOU TALKED ABOUT AND
I'M UNDERSTANDING IN HEARING THE
EQUITY IN TERMS OF. YOU KNOW
RESIDENT VERSUS NON RESIDENT-
EQUITY- IN TERMS OF- LOWER
INCOME AND REDUCING DEBT- BUT I
DIDN'T HEAR A SORT OF THE
DEMOGRAPHIC KIND OF RACIAL
EQUITY PIECE WHEN I LOOK AT.
ENROLLMENT NUMBERS- WE STILL
IT'S STAGGERING- THE
REPRESENTATION OF BLACK STUDENTS
ACROSS THE SYSTEM- SORT OF JUST
STAYING PRETTY CONSISTENT- 4%
FOR MANY YEARS AND PICKING UP TO
JUST. 5% COMPARED TO YOU KNOW
WE'RE SEEING SOME PRETTY-
IMPORTANT- MARGINS- FOR OTHER
GROUPS OF STUDENTS- THAT BETTER
SEEM TO HOLD STEADY. I'M CURIOUS
WHERE DOES. EQUITY FACTORED IN
AND WHAT ARE THE STEPS- AROUND
BUILDING SORT OF A STRONG
MULTIRACIAL CAMPUS THAT REALLY
LOOKS AT. THE MOST INVISIBLE
STUDENT- POPULATIONS AND WAYS TO
INCREASE THAT VISIBILITY IN THE
ENROLLMENT NUMBER- WHAT ARE THE
STEPS THERE HOW MUCH OF THE
RESOURCES THAT ARE BEING PUT
TOWARD YOU KNOW ADDRESSING
ENROLLMENT ISSUE. ARE BEING
REALLY TARGETED TOWARD-
INCREASING THAT- INVISIBILITY
AND THEN MY OTHER QUESTION
BECAUSE WE TALKED ABOUT. YOU
KNOW FACILITIES AND WHAT'S BEING
ACQUIRED AND WHERE IT'S BEING
ACQUIRED I'M REALLY CURIOUS
ABOUT THAT BECAUSE IF WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT EQUITY PROXIMITY
MATTERS THIS WHOLE NOTION OF
SORT OF. IN OTHER PARTS OF THE
WORLD TRANSIT ORIENTED EDUCATION
YOU KNOW TRANSIT ORIENTED
DEVELOPMENT- TRYING TO PUT FOLKS
IN PROXIMITY THE FOLKS THAT YOU
WANT TO ENGAGE IN PROXIMITY TO
YOU KNOW THE INSTITUTIONAL TOOLS
IN IN ASSETS AND OPPORTUNITIES
SO. I'M TRYING TO GET A SENSE OF
. HOW DOES HOW DO THOSE MOST
INVISIBLE STUDENTS FACTOR IN TO
THE ROLE MEANT STRATEGY AND THEN
HOW WHERE ARE THE FACILITIES
LOCATED I KNOW THERE ARE NO.
UCLA FOOTPRINTS IN SOUTH CENTRAL
LA FOR EXAMPLE- IN TERMS OF
OFFICES DEPARTMENTS CAMPUSES
SATELLITE OFFICES- I THINK.
ALONG THE SOUTHWEST EDGE AS YOU
LOOK AT THE CULVER CITY BORDER
THERE SOME HEALTH CARE. PRESENTS
BUT CERTAINLY NOT IN TERMS OF
THE STUDENT ENROLLMENT SORT OF
THAT ACCESSIBILITY IN TERMS OF
THAT THE FACILITY- PROXIMITY SO
JUST. WANT TO HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS
ON THAT AND HOW DOES THAT FACTOR
INTO THE RESOURCES IN THE
INVESTMENT BECAUSE IT WON'T
HAPPEN UNLESS YOU'RE INVESTING
IT IN AN INTENTION AWAY. I
APPRECIATE THE QUESTION SENATOR
AND LET ME SAID LEFT TO HAVE A
LONGER CONVERSATION- AS WE CAN
FIND TIME TO DO THAT IT'S A DONE
ONGOING EFFORT FOR THE
UNIVERSITY OVER MANY DECADES.
SEVERAL THINGS ARE HAPPENING
THAT I THINK IT WOULD ADDRESS
BUT YOU ARE ASKING FIRST. ARE
DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION ARE
CENTRAL TO OUR MISSION AND GOD
IN EVERYTHING THAT WE DO AND
EVERY YEAR AS WE LOOK WE ARE
MAKING PROGRESS THAT WE HAVE AN
INCREASINGLY DIVERSE STATE. FOR
MAKING PROGRESS TO TRY TO MOVE
TOWARD THAT YOU MENTION THE
FIBERS PERCENT AFRICAN AMERICAN
WOMAN TO ALWAYS A CHALLENGE FOR
US AND LOEB I WILL SAY THAT. IN
MY DAYS AS CHANCE THAT WE WERE
DIE IN THE TO TWO AND A HALF
PERCENT. RANGE AND SO WE
ACTUALLY MOVED UP QUITE A BIT IN
THE LAST FIFTEEN YEARS YOU KNOW
THAT WE- TOOK A WALK WALKING DIP
IN THE NINETIES. DODD WITH PROP
TWO OH NINE AND OTHER THINGS
THAT HAPPEN TO REALLY PUT THE
BRAKES ON AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING
TO RECOVER IT SINCE THAT TIME AT
THOSE. PROGRAMS. CONTINUE WE
HAVE OUR- SAY PACKED PROGRAMS
ARE INVESTING FOR THAT WE AN OUT
REACH AND MAKING. THE UNIVERSITY
MORE ACCESSIBLE TO COMMUNITIES
BROADLY OF THOSE WERE WELL
FUNDED IN THE NINETIES THE
FUNDING- DROPPED OFF- BUT THEN
HAS BEEN INCREASED THESE LAST
COUPLE OF YEARS SO WE'RE REALLY
PLEASED ABOUT THAT BECAUSE IT.
HELPS US GET OUT INTO MORE MORE
COMMUNITIES. WE ONE OF THE
PLACES THAT WE THE ONE OF THINGS
THAT WE NOTED IN OUR EFFORTS TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE THE THREE
THINGS THAT I'D I'D HAVE SAID
FROM BUT MANY YEARS OF MY-
CAREER WHICH IS ACCESS
AFFORDABILITY AND EXCELLENCE ARE
THE- HALLMARKS OF WHAT WE WANT
TO DO. GOING FORWARD AND ACCESS
BEING ALL THREE UP AT THE SAME
TIME ALWAYS BUT ACCESS. IS ONE
THAT WE START WITH SOME OF THE
THINGS THAT WE- BELIEVE THERE'S
A GOD A- VERY IMPORTANT PATHWAY
OF ACCESS FOR THE UNIVERSITY. OF
CALIFORNIA IS TRANSFERS THROUGH
THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE. SYSTEM
WHAT WE KNOW IS THAT THERE ARE.
SOME OF THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES
THAT. HAVE A VERY HIGH TRANSFER
RATE TO THE UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA. AND SOME WHICH HAVE
A VERY LOW OR NOT NEARLY NO
TRANSFER RATE AND SO WE- HAVE A
PROGRAM THIS YEAR. TO DO WE CAN
TO. OUT TO THOSE AREAS. OF THE
STATE WHERE THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGES HAVE A VERY VERY LOW
TRANSFER. RATE TO TRY TO
INCREASE THAT REPRESENTATION
BELIEVE THAT PULLED. OUT WILL
ASSIST IN OUR DIVERSITY WE ARE
CHANGING OUR INTERNAL FUNDING
FORMULA FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
TO COME IN. AND ACTUALLY
PROVIDING MORE RESOURCES TO
STUDENTS WHO COME. FROM HIGH
SCHOOLS THAT HAVE A LOWER LEVELS
OF SUPPORT LCF. HIGH SCHOOLS AND
WE WANT TO DO THAT TO MAKE SURE
THAT THE CAMPUSES CAN ROLL.
THOSE STUDENTS AND THE STUDENTS
WILL BE SUCCESSFUL ALL OF THE
CAMPUSES HAVE EQUITY GAP
CLOSURE- DATA PLANS OVER THE
NEXT SEVERAL YEARS WHEN THEY-
COME AND REPORT TO US EACH YEAR
ON THE PROGRESS THEY- LOOK AT
THEIR GRADUATION RATES AND
THOSE. COMMUNITIES THAT ARE
FALLING BEHIND AND WHAT THEY'RE
DOING TO CLOSE EQUITY GAPS AND
THAT'S THE IMPORTANT PART OF
WHAT WE'RE DOING. UCLA YOU'D
MENTIONED- AB ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT UCLA IS ABOUT DOING IS
LOOKING AT IN FACT THE CHOIR
RING OTHER PROPERTY WITHIN. THE
LOS ANGELES- THE ERIE I WON'T
SAY SPECIFICALLY WHETHER LOOKING
BUT THEY'RE LOOKING IN SOME
PLACES THAT ARE NOT- BUT
WESTWOOD- THE- THE MORE.
INTIMATE NOT WEST SIDE NOT NORTH
NORTH SIDE MORE SOUTH SIDE ON
THE SIDE- PLACES WHERE WE CAN OF
THE CHOIR I PROPERTIES BECAUSE-
THE UNIVERSITY NEEDS TO GROW ITS
ON A TINY FOOTPRINT. AND. THE
CONCEPT IS THAT NEEDS TO GROW.
NOT IN BALLET YOU KNOW IT'S NOT
THERE WHATEVER TO GROW THE IN
PLACES WHERE THERE ARE PEOPLE.
AND BIRD LOOK DOWN AND PEOPLE
THAT WE BY TWENTY. MORE WE ARE-
CLOSER ON GOING AFTER. OF THE-
ON A DAY BASIS FOR THE FOR THE
UNIVERSITY AND- AND NOT ALSO
AGAIN THAT THE WE HAVE NUMBER
THAT ARE NOT WHERE WE'D LIKE
THEM TO BE WE AT LEAST. WHEN WE
LOOK IN THE PAST WE SEE THAT
WE'RE MAKING PROGRESS FROM WHERE
WE WERE IN THE PAST. AND THAT
PROGRESS CONTINUES AND WE'RE
COMMITTED TO THAT AND SO THE
THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS OF ON
GOING GENERAL FUND TO CONTINUE
TO REDUCE NONRESIDENT
ENROLLMENT. IS WHAT PERCENTAGE
OF THAT IS FUNDED. ON THIS ISSUE
OF. ADDRESSING THAT GAP BECAUSE
EVEN WHEN I LOOK AT LATIN X.
COMMUNITIES SINCE TWENTY
FOURTEEN IT'S STILL BEEN A FLAT
LINE I MEAN AND CERTAINLY
THERE'S BEEN TREMENDOUS
POPULATION GROWTH- SO JUST
TRYING TO THINK. HOW IF. IF
THERE'S NOT AN INTENTIONAL.
FUNDING STREAM. THIRST AROUND
THOSE PROGRAMS IT'S HARD TO
REALLY MEASURE. AND SEE THE
IMPACT SO IS THERE A PERCENTAGE
THAT. YOU ALL SPEND OF THE
THIRTY MILLION THAT'S FOCUSED ON
THAT ISSUE. YEAH I WOULD SAY
THAT THE- THE ISSUES OF
INCLUSIVITY AND DIVERSITY OF OUR
ARE MORE. ARE BROADER THAN THAT
SO THEY WOULDN'T BE THEY
WOULDN'T BE SPECIFIC TO THAT.
PARTICULAR THAT THAT NUMBER JUST
ALLOWS US TO INCREASE THE NUMBER
OF CALIFORNIANS STUDENTS THAT WE
HAVE RIGHT BUT OUR IN ENTIRE
EFFORTS AREN'T LOOKING AT THAT.
OUR DEBT TO BRING IN MORE PEOPLE
AS A MENTION THE- PLUS A PART
NUMBERS THEY WE HAVE OUR
SPECIFIC OUT REACH NUMBERS THIRD
TRIED TO INCREASE THE NUMBERS OF
STUDENTS FROM- THAT. COMMUNITIES
THAT ARE AND HAVE BEEN
TRADITIONALLY UNDER REPRESENTED
WE ALSO HAVE ANOTHER PROGRAM WE
STARTED OUT JUST MENTION THIS WE
STARTED A YEAR AGO. A NATIVE
AMERICAN OPPORTUNITIES PROGRAM-
AND WE DID THAT SPECIFICALLY
BECAUSE THAT THAT ONE CLEARLY
HAS BEEN AND IF THAT DOES RELATE
OUT POORLY REPRESENTED. IN THE
UNIVERSITY FOR THROUGHOUT ITS
HISTORY SO THIS PROGRAM IS ONE
THAT ACTUALLY PROBLEM MEANS THAT
THAT TUITION. FOR NET MEMBERS OF
FEDERALLY RECOGNIZED CALIFORNIA
NATIVE AMERICAN TRIBES IS NOW
DONE NEUTRALIZE FOR ALL OF THOSE
STUDENTS. AND WE DID THAT JUST
THE LAST YEAR FOR THE PURPOSE OF
MAKING SURE WE CAN STRENGTHEN.
THOSE CONNECTIONS AND THAT AND I
KNOW THAT YOU KNOW IN OUR BUT I
WOULD HAVE TO SEE THIS NEXT
YEAR'S NUMBERS AS THEY COME
FORWARD. THE LAST TWO YEARS
WE'VE INCREASED THE PERCENTAGE
OF AFTAB OF LET LET NEXT DIDN'T
SEND I BELIEVE I HAVE TO LOOK AT
THREE YEARS AGO FOR AFRICAN
AMERICAN STUDENTS TO SEE WHERE
THAT WAS BUT WE WERE. ACTUALLY
MOVING UP IN THOSE NUMBERS AND
WE- WANT TO CONTINUE TO MOVE FOR
SIX OF OUR CAMPUSES ARE-
HISPANIC SERVING INSTITUTIONS
AND SIX OF OUR NINE
UNDERGRADUATE CAMPUSES AND THE
OTHER THREE ARE CLOSE. THE WE
SEE OURSELVES AS- THIS IS A IS
PART AND PARCEL OF OUR DAILY
EFFORT. AT THE UNIVERSITY TO
HAVE ACCESS AFFORDABILITY AND
EXCELLENT- FOR THE STUDENTS OF
CALIFORNIA BROADLY AND STUDENTS
OF CALIFORNIA ARE DIVERSE
STUDENTS AND- SO THESE ARE.
WOVEN INTO EVERYTHING WE DO YEAH
I AGREE I MEAN. THIS IS THE NEW
MAJORITY. OF CALIFORNIA AND SO
THE WHERE. WE MY- WOULD BE
MAJEURE WITH THAT. REFLECTED IN
TERMS OF. THAT PARTICIPATION
RATES OF BOTH LATIN X. BLACK AND
THEN YOU MENTIONED NEED OF
AMERICAN. COMMUNITY AND I THINK
THAT'S ABOUT ONE PERCENT- OF
ENROLLMENT ENROLLEES. SO- IN IN
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE
INFORMATION SPECIFICALLY ON THE
ACCESS PIECE OF THE PUZZLE AND
OUTREACH PIECES. TO SEE IF- THE
INVESTMENT THAT WE'RE- WE'RE
MAKING ON NONRESIDENT ENROLLMENT
IS. IS EQUITABLY. INVESTED IN TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE AS A
CAMPUS THAT DOES IN FACT-
REFLECT NOT JUST THE-
PROPORTIONAL MEMBERS OF OUR
COMMUNITY BUT ALSO. YOU KNOW
THAT THEY NEED IN IN TERMS OF
EQUITY SOME COMMUNITIES
PARTICULARLY HISTORICALLY LEFT
OUT OF THE SYSTEM. NEED MORE
RIGHT TO ENSURE THAT THEY HAVE A
LEVEL- IN FAIR OPPORTUNITIES SO
THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I-
WOULD LOVE TO FOLLOW UP AND
THANK YOU FOR SHARING TO THE-
SOME OF THE CAMPUSES LOOKING AT.
PLACES OUTSIDE OF SORT OF MORE
FLUENT AREAS RIGHT TO ACTUALLY
BE IN PROXIMITY OF THE STUDENTS
THAT WERE TRYING TO BRING THEM
INTO THE SYSTEM. AMONG OTHER
QUESTION HAS TO DO WITH
AFFORDABILITY- YOU KNOW THERE
WAS THE L. A. TIMES ARTICLE
ABOUT SOME STUDENTS HAVING TO
DECLINE THEIR ACCEPTANCE BECAUSE
OF THE COST. STILL OF THE
UNIVERSITY INTO HOW ARE YOU
WORKING TO MAKE COLLEGE MORE
AFFORDABLE- WE ARE. EVERY DAY
DEALING WITH YOU KNOW INVESTING
IN HOMELESSNESS- AND HOUSING
PROGRAMS AND TRYING TO THINK
ABOUT WAYS TO. MAKE SURE FOLKS
HAVE ACCESS TO FOOD- AND- SO THE
LEGISLATURE IS YOU KNOW WE'RE
ALWAYS TRYING TO ADDRESS THOSE
BASIC NEEDS WE KNOW YOU HAVE A
GROWING. NUMBER OF STUDENTS WHO
HAVE THIS BASIC NEED AND THEN IT
LOOKS LIKE IT'S ALSO JUST A
CHALLENGE TO BE ABLE TO SAY I
DIED IN BUT I CAN'T AFFORD- THE
TO ATTEND SO IF YOU COULD GIVE
ME A LITTLE BIT OF A- MORE THAN
THE DEBT FREE BUT JUST. GETTING
TO COLLEGE HOW HOW ARE YOU
MAKING IT MORE AFFORDABLE FOR
THOSE STUDENTS ARE DECLINING
JUST BECAUSE THEY CAN'T AFFORD
IT. OUR PUBLIC UNIVERSITY YEAH
CAN LONG LONG CONVERSATION
APPRECIATE THE QUESTION VERY
MUCH SO A COUPLE THINGS ONE IS
YOU KNOW OUR BLUE AND GOLD
OPPORTUNITY PLAN. ALREADY SAYS
THAT STUDENTS WHO COME FROM
FAMILIES THAT MAKE EIGHTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR OR LESS-
PAID NO TUITION. SO THE
UNIVERSITY PART OF THAT IS
ALREADY TAKING CARE FOR MOST
CALIFORNIA FAMILIES A TWO
HUNDRED THOUSAND STUDENTS WHO
ATTEND OUR UNIVERSITY TODAY WITH
A PAYING NO TUITION. I
SOMETIMES- THE CENTER LEARNED I
ARE OF SIMILAR VINTAGE AND THAT
WE MEET FOR OUR FRIENDS OF OUR
AGE IS A GOSH WHEN I WENT TO CAL
IT WAS TWO HUNDRED FIFTY
DOLLARS- THE SEMESTER. YOU KNOW
AND YOU CAN AFFORD IT NOW AND I
SAY GOSH FOR HALF OUR STUDENTS
IS LESS THAN THAT IS LESS THAN
IT WAS FIFTY YEARS AGO. BECAUSE
NOW TO ZERO. AND SO THAT'S
SOMETHING THAT WE ARE VERY PROUD
OF BUT THAT'S NOT THE FULL COST
OF COLLEGE. THAT'S THE 30% THAT
IS THE PART THAT COMES TO US
FROM DOING THE COLLEGE PARK. THE
BULK OF THE COST OR THE COST OF
LIVING. THE COST OF HOUSING THE
COST OF FOOD THINGS THAT YOU
HAVE TO. EAT YOU HAVE TO MEET
THOSE COSTS NO MATTER WHAT YOUR
DOING. BUT IF YOU TO GO TO
COLLEGE YOU HAVE TO FOR WAIT
THAT THAT TO ME THOSE COSTS SO
WE HAVE. QUITE ROBUST APPROACH.
UP WITH NEED BASED AID. TO DO
WHAT WE CAN TO HELP STUDENTS
FROM LOWER AND FOR MIDDLE
INCOME. FAMILIES THE MIDDLE
INCOME SCHOLARSHIP THAT DATA-
THAT YOU ALL HAVE APPROVED DOES
A GREAT JOB OF HELPING. OUT
FAMILIES FROM MIDDLE INCOME BE
ABLE TO AFFORD THE UNIVERSITY.
AND WHAT WE DO IS WORK WITH OUR
STUDENTS AND WITH THEIR FAMILIES
TO TRY TO CLOSE THAT GAP. ABOUT
FOR EVERYONE WE HAVE THE- WE
MENTION THE- DEBT FREE PATHWAY
THAT WE- HAVE AS A GOAL. AND
THAT IS SO GREAT THAT. THE
AVERAGE WITH THE STATE. THIS
YEAR THAT DEBT FREE PATHWAY WILL
BE AVAILABLE FOR ANY STUDENTS
WHO COME FROM THE- THE LOWEST
OKAY. SOCIOECONOMIC GOTTEN.
GROUP THOSE ARE WITH THE US-
EXPECTED FAMILY. CONTRIBUTION BY
THE FEDERAL THEM. THE FEDERAL
GUIDELINES OF SUBZERO MEANING.
THE FAMILY IS NOT EXPECTED TO
CONTRIBUTE MONEY TO THE STUDENTS
EDUCATION. STUDENTS WHO ARE IN
THE AFC ZERO. CATEGORY THIS
COMING YEAR WILL ALL HAVE A
PATHWAY TOWARD A DEBT FREE.
GRADUATION FROM THE UC. HAVE TO
WORK A BIT- BUT UP THEY'LL HAVE
THAT PATHWAY THERE FOR DEBT FREE
IN THAT WE'RE SO WE'RE REALLY.
PROUD OF THAT AND THE GOAL IS
EVERY YEAR TO GROW THAT. UNTIL
AFTER BY TWENTY THIRTY IN
EVERYONE. CAN STEP ON A CAMPUS
AND SAY I CAN. ATTEND THE
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA AND
GRADUATE IN FOUR YEARS. WITHOUT
DEBT. I DON'T. I WILL SAY THAT
THE AVERAGE THAT IN THEM. THE
COUNTRY'S ABOUT THIRTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS FOR. PEOPLE GRADUATING
FROM COLLEGE NOW FOR THE
UNIVERSE TO CALIFORNIA'S MORE
LIKE. TWENTY THOUSAND SORORITY
MUCH LESS. WE'D LIKE. TO MOVE
THAT DOWN TO MAKING THAT DEBT IS
CLOSE TO ZERO AS POSSIBLE. IF
SOMEONE HAS A SMALL AMOUNT OF
DEBT. WHEN THEY LEAVE I DON'T
THINK THAT THAT'S A TERRIBLE.
THING I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE
DON'T WANT IS ENOUGH THAT THAT'S
ON YOUR SO WE WANT TO MAKE IT
THE ZERO IS POSSIBLE. BUT LET'S
SAY YOU WANT TO. DO A SEMESTER
ABROAD OR SOMETHING ELSE AND YOU
CAN'T DO YOUR REGULAR WORKING
YOU HAVE TO BORROW A LITTLE
MONEY TO MAKE SURE YOUR COLLEGE.
INCOME YOUR COLLEGE EXPERIENCE
IS FULLY ROBUST. WE SAID DEBT
FREE PATHWAY BUT WE KNOW THAT
THERE MIGHT BE IN SOME
CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE A SMALL
AMOUNT OF THAT IS SOMETHING THAT
A STUDENT USES. THAT TO TAKE BUT
THE IDEA IS TO MAKE IT THAT IT'S
AFFORDABLE FOR EVERYONE. I DID I
DID NOTE THAT READ THE ARTICLE
IN THE LA TIMES- I WILL SAY
THAT. OVERWHELMINGLY WHEN I HEAR
STORIES LIKE THAT. THAT IF WE
LOOK MORE CLOSELY WE CAN FIND
SOME WAY TO BE OF ASSISTANCE TO
THAT PERSON THAT. THEY WE HAVE
OFFICES IN PEOPLE. WHOSE JOB IT
IS THE PERSON OKAY ATTENDANCE.
AND SOMETIMES WHAT WE'RE REALLY
READING OF. IS A COUPLE WHERE
THE PEOPLE JUST HAVING A IN
TOUCH WITH THE OTHER IN THE-
WAY. LET THEM KNOW HOW THEY CAN
AFFORD IT. SO I HEARD TODAY IN
FACT THAT THAT STUDENT WAS
CONTACTED AND IS COMING TO UC
SAN DIEGO IN THE FALL. GREAT
GREAT SO THEN. I GUESS PART OF
THE DEBT FREE FRAMEWORK IS
HAVING ON THE FRONT END OF
ADMISSIONS. I DON'T FOR LACK OF
A BETTER TERM MCCAULEY CASE.
CASE MANAGERS CO WORKERS WHO
COULD ACTUALLY SORT OF SHARE
WITH THE STUDENT. WHEN THEY GIVE
THEIR ACCEPTANCE LETTERS THESE
ARE THE PROGRAMS THAT ARE. MADE
AVAILABLE. I SPENT SOME TIME IN
THE UC SYSTEM AND I KNOW HOW
INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT
COMMUNICATION IS WITH IN IT SO I
JUST. YOU KNOW HOW DO WE MAKE
SURE THAT THOSE- THOSE ARE PART
OF THE TOOLS IN TERMS OF
COMMUNICATION SO IT'S LIKE A
WRAPAROUND PROCESS FOR THOSE WHO
ARE ACCEPTED YOU'RE SAYING SO
IT'S NOT A CASE BY CASE. LIKE
THIS STUDENT FOR EXAMPLE. BUT
THE ACTUAL SYSTEMIC CHANGE THAT
HELPS TO CONNECT TO STUDENTS. AT
THE POINT OF ACCEPTANCE YES THEY
HAVE THOSE TOOLS SO
OVERWHELMINGLY IT WORKS IT WORKS
GREAT- THERE ARE YET BUT IT IT
YOU KNOW IT'S- IT'S- TWO
HUNDRED. THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED
EIGHTY THOUSAND STUDENTS AND-
AND ALL THE DIFFERENT CAMPUSES
AND DEPARTMENTS AND EVERYTHING
ELSE THAT THE- THE INDIVIDUAL
CIRCUMSTANCES CAN BE DIFFERENT
FOR INDIVIDUALS DEPENDING. ON
EVERYTHING THAT AFFECTS THEM AND
THEIR FAMILIES. WE HAVE FULL
TIME PEOPLE WHO WORK FOR THAT
ARE OUR HOPE. IS TO DO AS MUCH
OF THAT WITH THINGS LIKE THE
WEBSITES AND OTHERS THAT MAKE IT
THE PEOPLE CAN GET BASIC
INFORMATION. BUT THEN HAVE HUMAN
BEINGS OF THEIR TO WORK THROUGH
THE PROBLEMS. THAT COME UP WHEN
THEIR INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES
NEED TO BE FOCUSED ON. AN
OVERWHELMING I'VE BEEN AT THIS
FOR ALL THESE YEARS.
OVERWHELMINGLY WE CAN FIND AN
ANSWER. I JUST HAVE TO BE
PERSISTENT AND WORK TOGETHER IN
AND WE HAVE PEOPLE WHOSE. LIVES
AND CAREERS ARE DEDICATED TO
FACILITATING THOSE THINGS AND-
THEY'RE WORKING AS WE SPEAK.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
NO CENTER MANY QUESTIONS ON
THIS- NO I JUST WANTED TO
REITERATE THE POINTS MADE BY MY
COLLEAGUES THAT AT YOU KNOW AS
WE TALK ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY
CALIFORNIA. AND AS YOU AND I
DISCUSSED THE OTHER DAY.
PRESIDENT YOU'RE CONTINUING TO
SEE STRONG APPLICATIONS VOLUME-
YOUR OVERSUBSCRIBED YEAR AFTER
YEAR BUT- IT'S JUST YOU KNOW.
WHAT I HEAR REPEATEDLY IS JUST
HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO GET IN
THE UNIVERSITY CALIFORNIA TODAY
ANYTHING CAMPUSES LET ALONE. THE
TOP THREE OR FOUR YOU SEASON. SO
JUST WANT YOU KNOW I KNOW THIS
IS THE PLANNED I JUST WANT TO
EMPHASIZE HOW IMPORTANT IT IS
THAT WE CONTINUE TO INCREASE
ACCESS UNIVERSITY CALIFORNIA. I
BOTH HER FRESHMAN AND ALSO FOR-
TRANSFER STUDENTS FROM COMMUNITY
COLLEGES. I AND ALSO TO REALLY
EMPHASIZE THE AFFORDABILITY
PIECES ONE I KNOW THESE THINGS
ARE THINGS YOU'RE WORKING ON
THAT BUT THOSE ARE REALLY REALLY
IMPORTANT FOR. FOR JUST SPEAKING
. FOR MYSELF AND IT SOUNDS LIKE
MY COLLEAGUES. YEAH THANK CENTER
FOR APPRECIATE AND ARE. TO TALK
ABOUT IN. THE PAST AND I'LL JUST
BY PUT IN. THE THE TWENTY THREE
TO. OVER THE TO THIS DAY. NUMBER
THAT WE MENTION. AND ELTEK OUR
MERCED CAMPUS TONIGHT BUT WAS
THAT THE PRIVILEGE OF WORKING AS
AN ACADEMIC SENATE MEMBER. ON
THE- LAUNCHING OF THE MERCED
CAMPUS IN THE LATE LATE
NINETIES. CAN SO WE- HAVE. HAD A
FIELD IF YOU KNOW HOW TO PLAN
AND START AT THE BEGINNING
SAYING WHAT WHAT IF WE'RE GOING
TO GROW A TWENTY FIRST CENTURY
UNIVERSITY WHAT SHOULD LOOK
LIKE. WHERE SHOULD BE SOMEONE
THANK TO SENATE SWALLOWED UP
MEMBERS THAT HAVING THIS BE IN A
PLACE WHERE WE DIDN'T HAVE A
CAMPUS THAT WAS. NOT COASTAL ALL
OF THOSE THINGS REALLY
CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO US WE
WANTED. BECAUSE OF PROXIMITY TO
HAVE A CAMPUS THAT WAS CLOSER TO
PARTS OF THE STATE THAT WE
HADN'T SERVED AS AS WELL. AS
THAT WE HAD IN THE PAST. WEEK
THAT WAS THAT MERCED CAMPUS THE
RIVERSIDE CAMPUS HAS GROWN VERY
ACTIVELY AS WELL. TO BE IN
ANOTHER AREA WHERE WE DON'T HAVE
AS MUCH SERVICES THAT'S AN-
IMPORTANT TO US. WITH A LOOK AT
MERCED IN THE GREAT SUCCESS OF
RECETTE NIGHT OF DUB AND THAT'S
LUNCH TIME SUCKED OUT QUICKLY. I
WAS AT THE THIS- AGRICULTURE
NATURAL- SEMINAR. BOARD TODAY BY
. THEM- INVENTION OUT OF BEFORE
YES. AND I WAS ON A- AND TO BE
ON THE- WAS A- COUNTIES TO. FOR
TO WALLEM COUNTY. AND I WOULD
LIST TO HIS TO. AS HE TALKED
THEN IT CAME TIME FOR ME TO
SPEAK AND I. THOUGHT THAT BREAK
THIS WAS AN FOR THE PROP THAT WE
STARTED YOU MERCED. A TWO PART
HE WAS TWENTY NINE YEARS OLD. A
TWENTY SIXTEEN GRADUATE OF THE
UNIVERSITY AND THE- CONCEPT IS
THAT WE WERE GOING TO START. A
CAMPUS. THAT WOULD BE A PLACE
FOR PEOPLE FROM THE REGION IN
PARTICULAR TO CALM. AND TO GROW
AND TO HAVE A SKILL SET THAT
WILL LET THEM GO OUT AND SURVEY
AND- AND SERVE THEIR COMMUNITIES
AND HAVE A GROWING. WE HAD THE-
RESULT OF THAT ACTUALLY SITTING
AT THE PERSON NEXT TO ME SO I
WAS HAPPY TO. THAT TO SEE THAT
THAT HAPPENED. AND ABOUT WHAT I
WAS GOING TO SAY THAT MIGHT BY.
THE GREAT SUCCESS THERE RESIDES
NOW TWENTY YEARS OLD. AND HAS
ABOUT TEN THOUSAND STUDENTS AND
TO NOW BE TO BILLIONS OF DOLLARS
OF INVESTMENT TO GET TO WHERE WE
ARE. SO WE'RE GONNA BE ADDING-
THE EQUIVALENT OF DOUBLE THAT
NUMBER OF STUDENTS IN THIS NEXT
DECADE. WITHOUT THE EXPENSE OF
BUILDING A NEW CAMPUS NUMBERS
THAT WILL BE A- PART OF THAT
GROWTH SO I DON'T WANT TO. MAKE
THAT SEPARATE BUT THAT'S THE-
THE LEVEL OF COMMITMENT THAT WE
HAVE. TO GROWTH MORE. THAN
ACTUALLY WOULD BE ABLE TO GET IF
WE START A NEW CAMPUS WITH THANK
GOD. BECAUSE WILL BE ABLE TO USE
THE ENTIRE SYSTEM. AS AS THE
AVERAGE FOR THAT GROWTH. THANK
YOU FOR THAT. I KNOW I A FAMILY
. THAT YOU. FROM SAID. MANY
ENDED UP AT DELTA. RIGHT
DIVISION AT THE- BOARD AND SO.
MY BROTHER AND I THINK. WE DON'T
KNOW WHAT WE DID- SO THANK YOU I
REALLY APPRECIATE THAT
DISCUSSION IN BETWEEN THE TWO. I
THINK WE'VE HIT ON A LOT OF THE
MAJOR OVERALL THEMES. AND WE
STILL HAVE FIVE DIFFERENT ITEMS
AND WE WANT TO DO PUBLIC COMMENT
BUT I THINK. WITH THE POSSIBLE
EXCEPTION OF HOUSING COMING UP
WE HAVE- YOUR ROOM. REALLY HIT
SOME OF THE MAJOR ISSUES WE WANT
SO WE'RE GOING TO. TO MOVE ON TO
ISSUE ONE C. WHICH IS STUDENT
HOUSING WHICH ONCE AGAIN IS
PRESIDENT DRAKE. MACHON THE WIND
FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE
AND JENNIFER PURCELL OF FROM THE
LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S OFFICE.
AND I KNOW THERE ARE. SOME
PEOPLE THAT ARE BACKUPS FOR OF
FOR THAT SO. LET'S BEGIN ON THE
STUDENT HOUSING ISSUE WITH
PRESIDENT DRAKE YES THANK YOU MR
CHAIRMAN. AT THE UNIVERSITY
CALIFORNIA WE UNDERSTAND THAT
STUDENT HOUSING IS A KEY
COMPONENT OF AN ACCESSIBLE
EDUCATION. LIKE MANY COMMUNITIES
IN CALIFORNIA IT IS CHALLENGING
FOR UC CAMPUSES TO PROVIDE
ENOUGH HOUSING. TO MEET STUDENT
DEMAND. PARTLY DUE TO THE RAPID
ENROLLMENT GROWTH THAT THE
UNIVERSITY HAS IMPLEMENTED IN
RECENT YEARS. AS WELL AS RAPIDLY
INCREASING HOUSING COSTS
PARTICULARLY IN THE COMMUNITIES
IN WHICH UC CAMPUSES RESIDE. YOU
IN CALIFORNIA HAVE BEEN IMMUNE
FROM THESE HOUSING PRESSURES AND
WE ARE NO DIFFERENT. IN TWENTY
SIXTEEN THE UNIVERSITY LAUNCHED
THE STUDENT HOUSING INITIATIVE.
TO EXPAND CAMPUS HOUSING
CAPACITY. SINCE THAT TIME WE'VE
ADDED OVER TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND
FIVE HUNDRED STUDENT BEDS TO OUR
HOUSING INVENTORY. WE CURRENTLY
HAVE ANOTHER SIXTY THREE HUNDRED
STUDENT HOUSING BEDS IN
DEVELOPMENT. BRENT FROM FROM THE
STATE ARE MAKING OVER HALF OF
THESE BEDS POSSIBLE AND- I THANK
THE GOVERNOR AND THE LEGISLATURE
FOR MAKING THE SUPPORT AVAILABLE
IT MAKES MAKES ALL THE
DIFFERENCE. FINANCING OF COURSE
IS ONLY ONE OF THE CHALLENGES
FOR NEW STUDENT HOUSING AND A
SHORTAGE OF AVAILABLE LAND IN
SECRET CHALLENGES TO NEW HOUSING
PROJECTS. CONTINUE TO HINDER
CAMPUSES ABILITY TO CONSTRUCT
NEW STUDENT HOUSING. DESPITE
THESE CHALLENGES WE CONTINUE TO
PUSH FORWARD TO ENSURE THAT OUR
STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO SAFE AND
CONVENIENT HOUSING. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE
. GOOD MORNING CHAIRED MEMBERS
MACHEL NEW IN WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE. FOR THE
HIGHER EDUCATION STUDENT HOUSING
GRANT PROGRAM THE GOVERNOR'S
BUDGET PUTS FORWARD FIVE HUNDRED
MILLION ONE TIME GENERAL FUND.
FOR FISCAL YEAR TWENTY TWENTY
THREE TWENTY FOUR. AND IT DELAYS
A PLANNED INVESTMENT OF TWO
HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION ONE
TIME GENERAL FUND FROM TWENTY
TWENTY. THREE TWENTY FOUR TO
TWENTY TWENTY FOUR TWENTY FIVE.
FOR THIS INTERSEGMENT ALL
INVESTMENT. PROGRAM STATUTE
INDICATES THAT THE UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA SHALL RECEIVE 20% OF
THE OVERALL PROGRAM FUNDS. IN
ADDITION THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET
DELAYS THE START OF THE STUDENT
HOUSING REVOLVING LOAN PROGRAM
FROM THE BUDGET YEAR WHICH IS
TWENTY TWENTY THREE TWENTY FOUR.
THE YEAR AFTER WHICH IS TWENTY
TWENTY FOUR TWENTY FIVE. AND
ALSO CHANGES THE ALLOCATION FROM
A SPLIT OF NINE HUNDRED MILLION
ONE TIME GENERAL FUND IN TWENTY
TWENTY THREE TWENTY FOUR. AND
ANOTHER NINE HUNDRED MILLION ONE
TIME GENERAL FUND IN TWENTY
TWENTY FOUR TWENTY FIVE. TO
INSTEAD BE SIX HUNDRED AND FIFTY
MILLION IN TWENTY TWENTY FOUR
TWENTY FIVE. AND ONE POINT ONE
FIVE BILLION IN TWENTY TWENTY
FIVE TWENTY SIX. FOR THIS
INTERSEGMENT INVESTMENT THERE IS
A TO BE DETERMINED SPLIT BETWEEN
THE UC CSU AND COMMUNITY
COLLEGES. THE ADMINISTRATION
RECOGNIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF
AFFORDABLE STUDENT HOUSING AND
THE IMPACTS TO COMMUNITIES WHERE
THOSE. CAMPUSES ARE LOCATED. AND
IT MAINTAINS THE OVERALL FUNDING
COMMITMENTS FOR THESE TWO
STUDENT HOUSING PROGRAMS BUT THE
GOVERNOR'S BUDGET. PROPOSES
DELAYS- TO STUDENT HOUSING GIVEN
THE OVERALL BUDGET OUTLOOK THAT
WE FACE AT THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET
IN JANUARY SO THANK YOU WITH
THAT HAPPY TO ADDRESS ANY
QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. THANK YOU
AND THEN WE'LL GO TO THE
LEGISLATIVE AND- AND JENNIFER
PAJALA ALEJO. GIVEN THE
COMMITTEES ALREADY HEARD STUDENT
HOUSING AT A FEW TIMES I'M GONNA
SKIP OVER SEVERAL THE POINTS
WE'VE MADE IN THOSE HEARINGS
THOSE POINTS ARE ON PAGE TWENTY
OF YOUR AGENDA AS YOU PROBABLY
RECALL WE SAT FOR SOME REASONS
WHY YOU MIGHT WANT TO FIND
ADDITIONAL BUDGET SOLUTION IN
THIS AREA AND GO EVEN FURTHER
THAN THE GOVERNOR. WE UNDERSTAND
THERE'S AN INTEREST TO DO MORE
IN STUDENT HOUSING AND TO DO IT
RIGHT AWAY- YOU HAVE. SIX
PROPOSALS BEFORE YOU FROM YOU
SEE TOTALING FOUR HUNDRED AND
NINETY NINE MILLION. UNDER STATE
LAW UC'S REMAINING ALLOCATION IS
FORTY EIGHT MILLION SO YOU DON'T
HAVE ENOUGH TO DO EVEN ONE OF
THE PROJECTS THAT THEY HAVE
BEFORE YOU. WE WOULD SUGGEST YOU
FOCUS ON THEIR TOP RANKED
PROJECTS THEY HAD A REASONABLE
THEY FOLLOWED STATE LAW THEY
RANGE THEIR SIX PROJECTS. OF
THOSE A TOP THREE PROJECTS THEY
HAVE TO ENTER SEGMENTAL PROJECTS
AND THE UC SAN DIEGO PROJECT.
THE UC SAN DIEGO PROJECT YOU
WILL GET MANY MORE BEDS AT A
LOWER STATE COSTS PER BED. IT'S
NOT INTERESTS INTERSECT MENTAL
THE OTHER TWO PROJECTS THAT
RIVERSIDE AND MERCED WILL
OBVIOUSLY GIVE YOU FEWER BEDS AT
HIGHER STATE COSTS BUT THEY DO
HAVE THE INTERSEGMENT ALL
COMPONENT. YOUR VARIOUS OPTIONS
MOVING FORWARD YOU CAN JUST FUND
ONE OF THE PROJECTS THAT SEEMS
MOST. PROMISING TO YOU. YOU CAN
ADJUST THE PERCENTAGES UNDER
STATE LAW YOU SEE IS ALL DOUBLE
420% OF TOTAL PROGRAM FUNDS YOU
COULD INCREASE THAT SO THAT THEY
COULD FUND ONE OR MORE OF THESE
PROJECTS THAT ARE BEFORE YOU.
YOU COULD JUST PROVIDE THE
FUNDING NEEDED FOR WHICHEVER IS
AGAIN THE MOST PROMISING
PROJECTS. YOU CAN ASK YOU SEE TO
RE SIZE THEIR MOST PROMISING
PROJECTS THAT FITS WITH UNDER
WITHIN THE PROGRAM ALLOTMENT
THAT YOU HAVE RIGHT NOW AS YOU
RECALL FROM YOUR CSU HEARING.
SINCE YOU TOOK THAT LETTER
APPROACH THEY KNEW HOW MUCH THEY
WERE ELIGIBLE FOR AND THEY JUST
GAVE YOU PROJECTS THAT FIT
WITHIN THAT PROJECT ALLOTMENT.
YOU SEE USED A BIT OF A
DIFFERENT TACTIC TO GIVE YOU
SOME MORE OPTIONS- BUT THAT
DOESN'T MEAN THAT THEY HAVE MORE
PROJECTS BEFORE YOU THEN YOU
COULD FIND UNDER STATE LAW.
HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS THANK
YOU VERY MUCH AND I REALLY
APPRECIATE- WHATEVER. YOU WOULD
CALL IT THE REALISM IN YOUR
CONVERSATION ABOUT OUR PRIVATE.
A PREVIOUS DISCUSSIONS AND I
THINK THE- OPERA AND JUST FOR
THOSE THAT WEREN'T THERE. WHAT
WE REALLY DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO
SCALE BACK THE HOUSING. WE
REALLY DON'T WANT TO RE DIRECT
MONEY THAT IS RECOMMENDED TO
OTHER THINGS AND CUT IT DOWN
FOR. FOR OTHER THINGS IN THE
BUDGET THAT WAS SORT OF A CLEAR
STATEMENT COMING FROM MARK. OR
PREVIOUS HEARING. ARM CAN AND
ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I HAD OR-
THE ONE THAT WE REALLY DRILL
DOWN ON I THINK FOR A WHILE. IN
THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE HERE. IS
WE HAVE THESE INTERSECT MENTAL
ONES. AND WE'RE IN THIS POSITION
THAT DAY THE PIECE OF THE POT
THE DISCRIMINATORY COLLEGES
COULD BE FUNDED WITH THE PEACE
OF THE POT IT IS UC OR CSU COULD
NOT BE FOUND AND WE WERE TRYING
TO UNDERSTAND. HOW THEY WERE
GOING TO BE COORDINATED IN A
WAY. THAT WE COULD DO THAT A AND
R. N. AND IT SEEMS HERE THAT.
THAT WITH THE AMOUNT IT'S- IT
DOESN'T SEEM TO. THEM AND YET.
IT LEAST ONE OF THEM I THINK WAS
REACHED IN THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE
SIDES SO. WHAT'S THE
RECOMMENDATION ABOUT TO HANDLE
THAT WHEN THAT HAPPENS BECAUSE
ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS IS. IS
THERE SEEM TO BE AN ECONOMY OF
SCALE THAT IF EACH PUT IN. MUCH
LESS THAN OR GENERALLY LESS
THAN. THAN A TOTAL COST OF-
THING AND THAT'S SOMETHING WE
WOULD LOOK FAVORABLY ON SO. YOU
HAVE ANY RECOMMENDATIONS ABOUT
HOW TO DEAL WITH THAT. ONE OF
THE MAIN ADVANTAGES OF THE
STRATEGY YOU TOOK BY HAVING EACH
OF THE THREE SEGMENTS SUBMIT
PROPOSALS EFFECTIVELY DIRECTLY
TO YOU IS SO YOU COULD TAKE MORE
OF A STATE WIDE PERSPECTIVE. YOU
COULD LOOK THROUGH THE UC CSU
AND COMMUNITY COLLEGE PROJECTS
AND- AND ON ALL THOSE STATUTORY
FACTORS YOU LAID OUT UNMET
HOUSING DEMAND AFFORDABILITY
STUDENTS- OTHER. WITHIN THAT
COMMUNITY YOU YOU LOOK HAVE
THESE GOOD OPTIONS NOW
PRESUMABLY FOR HOW YOU DO IT-
WE- YOU COULD DO MORE UC
PROJECTS THEY AS YOU HAVE HEARD
ABOUT HAVE FAR MORE EXPERIENCE
THAN THE COLLEGES IN THIS AREA
ARE YOU COULD DO THE
INTERSEGMENT ALL PROJECTS AND
GET A LITTLE BIT OF BOTH ON THE
COLLEGE IN THE UC SIDE. CSU HAS
VERY WELL PLANNED PROJECTS BUT
PRESUMABLY THEY THEY SEEM LIKE
THEY'RE GONNA HOLD TOGETHER THE
OPPOSITE SO HIGH CHANCE OF
SUCCESS- SO YOU HAVE ALL THESE
OPTIONS YOU CAN CHANGE STATE LAW
IN TERMS OF THE SHARE THAT GOES
TO EACH SEGMENT AND JUST SEE
WHAT YOU THINK ARE THE MOST
PROMISING PROJECTS BEFORE YOU
REGARDLESS OF SEGMENT. MMHM AND-
IT N. I. I SHOULD SAY THAT ONE
OF THE THINGS THAT CAME UP IN
THE CONVERSATION IN THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGE BUDGET. IS IT
THERE WAS SORT OF A STATEMENT OR
AN INFERENCE MADE AT SOME POINT.
THAT THEY DON'T HAVE MUCH
EXPERIENCE THEY'RE STILL IN THE
PLANNING STAGE AND THAT. MIGHT
GIVE US REASON TO HOLD BACK SOME
OF THOSE- I DON'T KNOW IF I'M
MISSTATING IT BUT- PRIORITIZED.
THOSE PROPOSALS IS. N. AND PART
OF MY CONCERN WAS IS ONE OF THE
REASONS. THEY DON'T HAVE MUCH
EXPERIENCE AS WE KEEP PULLING
HIM BACK THIS IS A AND IT AND
EXCEPT FOR THOSE. FIFTEEN
COMMUNITY COLLEGES THAT WE
TALKED ABOUT WHERE. THE DISTRICT
IS SO SPREAD OUT THAT THEY HAVE
AND I THINK ONLY ORANGE COASTERS
IS BEEN FUNDED IN THE NEW ONE
WITH EIGHT HUNDRED- UNITS. IT'S
THOSE PLACES IN THIS YEAR WITH
THE DISTRICT MIGHT GO TO OUR
DRIVES AND THEY NEED TO HAVE
DORMS JUST BECAUSE OF THE
DISTANCE THAT STUDENTS HAVE TO
COME. TO DO IT OTHER THAN THAT
THEY DON'T HAVE THE EXPERIENCE
AND I THINK WE WANT TO GIVE THEM
THE EXPERIENCE SO THAT THEY CAN.
PROVIDE THOSE IN PLACES WHERE TO
RUMINATE TRICKLING GIVEN SOME OF
THE TESTIMONY WE HAD ABOUT. THAT
PEOPLE WITH HOUSING AND SECURITY
AT THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE LEVEL
THAT SURPRISING. A GIVEN THE
FACT THAT IT IT'S COMMUNITY
BASED SO I THINK. NEW US A CLEAR
BACKGROUND AND SORT OF HOW TO
DEAL WITH THIS AND I WOULD ASK
IF EITHER UC OR FINANCE HAD
ANYTHING THEY WANTED TO ADD TO
THAT DISCUSSION. OF THANK YOU
CENTER LAYERED SAY OVER TEN AND
FOR UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA I
WOULD JUST ADD THAT FOR THE TWO
JOINT PROJECTS WITH YOU SEE AND
COMMUNITY COLLEGES. THOSE
PROJECTS WOULD BE BUILT ON YOU
SEE LANDON WOULD BE PROJECT
MANAGED BY YOU SEE WE HAVE. AN
EXTENSIVE STAFF WHO DEAL WITH
CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT. SO
BECAUSE OF THAT EXPERTISE WE
WOULD BE THE ONES WHO TAKE ON
THE MAJORITY OF THAT. ARC OF
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
RESPONSIBILITIES SO THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGES WOULD NOT
NEED TO PROVIDE THAT- EXPERTISE
. TO THOSE PROJECTS. BUT IT
STILL. RICK REQUIRE SOME. FROM
UC FOR THE ACTUAL BEDS SEPARATE
FROM THE PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND
SEPARATE FROM THE DONATION OR
CONTRIBUTION OF THE LAND CORRECT
SO SOME OF THE PROJECTS DO AND
THOSE BONDS WOULD BE FINANCED BY
UCS LEASE REVENUE BONDS THAT
WOULD BE PAID FOR WITH. THOSE
THE RENTAL PAYMENTS FROM THE
BEDS THAT ARE NOT SUBSIDIZED SO
THAT'S TO TRADITIONAL AIRFOIL.
LET ME CLARIFY THAT BECAUSE- IT
IS SORT OF PRESENTED HERE. WITH
AN INFERENCE IN THE INFERENCES
SAID IF WE DON'T GIVE THE UC
SHARE FROM THE UC PART OF THE
HIGHER EDUCATION MONEY. THAT
PARTNERSHIPS NOT GOING AHEAD IS
THAT WRONG IS IT DID BASICALLY
IT WILL GO AHEAD BECAUSE THERE'S
BONDED FUNDING THAT WON'T COME
FROM. THE HIGHER EDUCATION
FUNDING. APOLOGY SIR OF THE YOUR
YOUR CORRECTIVE WILL NOT GO
FORWARD WE NEED BOTH THE UC
PORTION THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE
PORTION AND FOR THOSE PROJECTS
THAT HAVE A GREATER COSTS BEYOND
THOSE STATE. SUBSIDIES WE WOULD
USE A LITTLE BIT OF THE LEASE
REVENUE BONDS BUT THOSE ARE NOT
SUFFICIENT TO BUILD THE ENTIRE
PROJECT AND HOW DO WE TELL. FROM
THIS HOW THAT FALLS OUT WHAT IS
REQUIRED FROM THE STATE PARK AND
WHAT WOULD COME FROM ANOTHER
SOURCE OF THE WEEKS REVENUE ON
IS THAT THE- FUNDS FROM OTHER
SOURCES IN MILLIONS THAT'S IN
THIS THIS. PAGE NINETEEN CHARTED
AREN'T CHEN IT WAS IN THE DETAIL
OF THE GRANT APPLICATIONS THAT
WERE SENT TO THE COMMITTEE- AND
I CAN WORK WITH YOUR COMMITTEE
STAFF TO ENSURE THAT THOSE-
THERE THERE'S AN ACCURATE
BREAKDOWN OF IT LET ME CURRENTLY
SHE- JUST SEEN THAT WE USED TO
WE WON'T- WORKTIME CHALLENGE.
AND WE WON'T DELVE. INCREDIBLY
INTO THE WEEDS IT'S JUST THAT
THE DISCUSSION WE HAD WITH
COMMUNITY COLLEGES IS NOT TO
WAKE UP IN JUNE. AND JULY AND
SAY OH YOU. SHOULD HAVE DONE
THIS THIS PROJECT IS IT GOING.
AND IT'S SOUNDED IN THE
COMMUNITY BECAUSE HERE. LIKE WE
HAD TO BE. IN BUDGET TRAILER
BILL LANGUAGE ABOUT JOINING
THEM. AS A JOINT PROJECT RATHER
THAN JUST DOING THE TOP POTS BY
THEMSELVES AND I JUST WANT TO
MAKE SURE. THE YES WE HAVE A
PRIORITY WOULD LIKE TO GO PAST
THE GOVERNOR'S POSTPONEMENTS BUT
SECONDLY IF ANY OF THE CENTERS
OF METAL PRODUCTS ARE THERE WE
WANT TO DO THE RIGHT THING IN
THE BUDGET TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE
TO MAKE SURE IT MOVES TO HEAD
OUT OF THE BUDGET ADOPTION.
ABSOLUTELY I DO THINK YOU NEED
TO BE VERY SPECIFIC IN THE
BUDGET TRAILER BILL THE LINK THE
AS FAR AS YOU CAN HELP US I CAN
I GO TO YEARS IF IT COSTS IT'S
JUST ONCE AGAIN IN JULY PSYCHO
YOU NEED BE SPECIFIC WE DIDN'T
TELL YOU ABOUT. IT'S LIKE I AM
JUST LOOKING HOW TO DO THIS
BECAUSE WE HAVE THE WILL. TO DO
THAT IF WE FIGURE OUT THE MONEY
WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THE
WAY. IS CLEAR ABSOLUTELY SO THAT
OUR LORD I WILL SEND THE
COMMITTEE FOR SUCCESSIVE LANG.
THANK YOU AND. THEN DEPARTMENT
OF FINANCE. SUNDERLAND FOR TO
SIX CLARIFY. AND I THE BLUE THIS
WAS FOR UP DURING THE COMMUNITY
CALL. THE HOUSING. OF HEARING AS
WELL BUT FOR LAST YEAR'S BUDGET
FOR THE ONE INTER SEGMENTAL
PROJECT THAT WAS FUNDED IT WAS
CLEARLY LISTED IN THE TRAILER
BILL LANGUAGE AS AN INTERSEGMENT
A PROJECT WITH THE AMOUNT. GOING
TO- I BELIEVE THE CSU AND THE
AMOUNT GOING TO THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGES. IN THAT CASE THERE WAS
A FIFTY FIFTY SPLIT- AT LEAST
WHAT I RECALL FROM LAST WEEK'S
COMMUNITY COLLEGE HEARING. THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGES IN THE IN THE
SUMMARY SHEET FROM THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGES THEY HAD INDICATED THE
SHARE. THAT WOULD BE BETWEEN THE
CCC AND- THE OTHER CAMPUS SO-
YOU KNOW IN THAT CASE THERE
COULD INDICATING WHAT THEY THINK
THE SPLIT IS- PRESUMABLY UNDER.
A JOINT SUB SUBMITTED PROJECT
THAT BOTH PARTIES HAVE AGREED TO
THAT SPLITTING. I THINK YOU KNOW
THAT CAN BE CONFIRMS POTENTIALLY
WITH THE APPLICANTS THIS IS THE
SPORT THAT YOU. WOULD LIKE I'M
AND LAST YEAR FOR THE STUDENT
HOUSING PROGRAM WHEN THEY WERE.
YOU KNOW KIND OF. WHEN THERE'S
AMBIGUITY IN THE PROJECTS WE
SIMPLY ASK THE APPLICANTS TO
CLARIFY FOR US AND THAT HELPED.
THEN WE HAD IN THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE ONE VERY CLEAR RANKING.
IN THE TOP EIGHT. WERE GOING TO
MAKE THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE
FUNDING. IN THE SARAH AND I'M
SORRY THIS IS A HOMETOWN
QUESTION. THE SEVENTH ONE WAS
CABRILLO COLLEGE AND THE
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SANTA
CRUZ. SO THE CABRILLO COLLEGE
ONE RANKED AND IS FUNDED BUT I
DON'T SEE THE UC SANTA CRUZ PART
HERE. ANYWHERE DOES THAT MEAN
THAT IT DIDN'T MAKE THE RANKING
ON THE UC SIGN. I DON'T LEAVE
THE SANTA CRUZ. WE WILL ACTUALLY
GO AHEAD. THANK YOU SIR OF UC
SANTA CRUZ- BECAUSE THEY
RECEIVED FUNDING IN A CAR IN THE
CURRENT YEAR FOR ANOTHER
PROJECT. I DID NOT SUBMIT AND
SECOND APPLICATION FOR THAT
PORTION THEY WOULD PAY FOR. THE
UC PORTION OF THAT PROJECT FROM
LEASE REVENUE BONDS. NOT FROM
THE STATE GRANTED DESPITE WHAT
WE JUST SAID ABOUT THE OTHER
PROJECTS NEEDING. STATE POT
MONTHS AND NOT BEING DONE THAT
ONE CAN USE UC REVENUE BONDS FOR
THE FULL UC SHARE RIGHT I'M
UNDERSTAND I WANT TO POINT OUT
THOSE BEDS ON THE UC SIDE WOULD
NOT BE WHAT- MATCHING WHAT WOULD
BE CONSIDERED AFFORDABLE UNDER
THE HIGHER EDUCATION. AFFORDABLE
STUDENT HOUSING GRANT PROGRAM
STATUTE SO THE STATUE YOU WOULD
HAVE TO DO IT BECAUSE IT
WOULDN'T QUALIFY UNDER. THE
STATUTE FOR THE OTHER MONEY. IF
I'M WANNA TO DO IN THE WAY ARE
JUST GOING TAKE FOR AT FACE
VALUE. YOUR STATEMENT THAT YOU
FIGURED OUT HOW TO FUND THE UC
SHARE OF THAT PROJECT THAT'S WHY
IT'S NOT ON THIS LIST THAT'S
CORRECT THANK YOU. NOW MARK- AND
THANK YOU FOR BEARING WITH ALL
THAT OUR COLLEAGUES ANY
QUESTIONS OR ADDITIONS WELL I
JUST WANT TO CLARIFY WHAT ARE
WHAT IS BEING PRIORITIZED BY UC
IN THIS. WHAT WHAT IS UC
PRIORITIZING IN TERMS OF. THE
PROJECT- HOUSING PROJECTS THAT
ARE ARE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD
AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT WE'RE
TALKING MAYBE THE WAY TO SAY IT
IS WITH THE AMOUNT THAT. IS IN
THE BUT RECOMMEND BUDGET BUDGET.
THANK MORE MARGIN OVER HAVING AN
AMOUNT IT'S LARGER THAN THAT BUT
WITHIN THE AMOUNT THAT'S
RECOMMENDED IN THE BUDGET WHAT
IS UC PRIORITIZE. A WE
PRIORITIZE THE JOINT PROJECTS
WITH COMMUNITY COLLEGES- THAT
THOSE WERE THE HIGHEST RANKED
PROJECTS BECAUSE WE WANTED TO
ENSURE THAT. A FUTURE TRANSFER
STUDENTS- HAD HOUSING AND THAT
WE WOULD ALSO WITHIN THOSE
HOUSING COMPLEXES PROVIDE
ADDITIONAL ADVISING TO THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTS SO
THAT THEY WOULD BE BETTER
PREPARED TO TRANSFER TO THAT UC
CAMPUS AND ALREADY FEEL LIKE A
PART OF IT- AND THEN AFTER.
THOSE JOINT PROJECTS WE
PRIORITIZE THE PROJECTS BASED ON
COST PER BED. TO THE STATE OF
WHICH MEANT THAT THE SAN DIEGO
PROJECT WAS BEYOND THE NEXT ONE
ON THE LIST. I JUST WANT TO NOTE
ON THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE LISTS.
THERE WERE NOT ASIDE FROM
COMPTON. COLLEGE OUR LARGER
COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEMS WERE
NOT ON THE PRIORITY LIST AND I
DON'T KNOW AND WE TALKED ABOUT
PROXIMITY YOU MIGHT WANT TO
DEFINE WHAT YOU MEAN BY OUR
LARGER COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM
SO EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT YOU'RE
TALKING ARE. THE LOS ANGELES
COUNTY. THANK YOU THANK DISTRICT
LEC CD. WAS NOT- WOULDN'T WAS
NOT SELECTED IN IN THIS ROUND OF
FUNDING AND TRYING TO
UNDERSTAND. WHAT ARE THOSE
CONVERSATIONS UNDER WAY JUST HOW
ARE YOU ALL DEFINING WHICH YOU
TALKED ABOUT. LOCATION AND THOSE
CAMPUSES THAT HAVE THE KNOW HOW
BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN REALLY
TRYING TO. ENSURE THAT THEY CAN
GET STUDENTS ON THAT CAMPUS
BECAUSE IT'S SO HARD TO GET TO
HOW ARE WE NEED- IN L. A. COUNTY
KNOW AND I'M I'M REALLY CURIOUS
BECAUSE I THINK WE'RE TALKING
MORE URBAN. VERSUS RURAL IT
THERE ARE A LOT OF SORT OF RURAL
AND SUBURBAN CAMPUSES THAT WERE-
IDENTIFIED FOR PRIORITY- THROUGH
THIS- IN INTERSEGMENT TOTAL
RELATIONSHIP. HOW IS UC'S
VERTICALLY THOSE THAT ARE IN
URBAN AREAS THAT ARE. IN
PROXIMITY TO COMMUNITY COLLEGES
HOW ARE YOU COLLABORATING TO
ACTUALLY APPLY. FOR THESE OR
DOES THAT NOT FACTORED. IN TO
YOUR DETERMINATION ON SORT OF
WHAT PROJECTS TO REALLY GO AFTER
WHAT. CAMPUS IS TO PARTNER WITH
I'M JUST CURIOUS ABOUT THAT. I'M
IT WAS UP TO EACH INDIVIDUAL
CAMP AT UC CAMPUS TO ESTABLISH A
RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR LOCAL
COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND SEEK A
PROJECT THAT MIGHT FIT THE GRANT
GUIDELINES- UCLA IN RECENT YEARS
HAS CONSTRUCTED A LARGE AMOUNT
OF- STUDENT. UNDERGRADUATE
STUDENT HOUSING TO THE POINT
WHERE THEY ACTUALLY HAVE THE
LARGEST AMOUNT. OF AFFORDABLE
HOUSING OR TO STUDENT HOUSING
STUDENT HOUSING THEY HAVE A
LARGE AMOUNT OF STUDENT HOUSING
OF ANY UC CAMPUS AT THE MOMENT.
I'M BECAUSE THEY JUST COMPLETED
A PROJECT WITH ABOUT THREE
THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED BEDS ON
THE CAMPUS. THEY WERE. NOT NOT
LOOKING TO- HAVE ANOTHER PROJECT
QUITE YET THERE ARE ALSO- AT
THIS POINT A VERY LAND
CONSTRAINTS CAMPUS AND THE JUST
ACQUIRED ANOTHER- ANOTHER
SMALLER CAMPUS ELSEWHERE SO I
THINK THEIR THEIR ATTENTION IS
ON HOW DO THEY DEVELOP THAT.
CONDUCT YEAH I THINK I WOULD
WHAT I APPRECIATED ABOUT THE
SELECTION PROCESS WAS JUST AN
AMOUNT OF FOCUS ON BORDER WALL
HOUSING BANDS AND I KNOW THAT
AFFORDABLE HOUSING CERTAINLY IN
L. A. COUNTY IS A IS AN ISSUE
AND SO JUST. CURIOUS HOW YOU ALL
ARE MAKING THOSE PARTNERSHIPS
PARTICULAR THERE'S CAMPUSES
WHERE THERE IS AVAILABLE SPACE-
TO DO THAT KIND OF DEVELOPMENT
SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. FROM MY
OTHER- QUESTIONS TO DO WITH. HOW
YOU SEE AND WE HAD THIS
CONVERSATION IN THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE- DISCUSSION. IN AND
COMING FROM UNDERREPRESENTED
COMMUNITIES WHERE WE HAVE SOME
OF THE POOREST CENSUS TRACTS-
AND WHERE WE HAVE THIS
PHENOMENAL. PUBLIC YOU KNOW LAND
GRANT UNIVERSITY- HOW DO WE
ENSURE THAT WHEN WE ARE SPENDING
SPENDING ANY CONSTRUCTION
DOLLARS THAT WE ARE SEEING THOSE
INVESTMENTS AS MULTIPLIERS- THAT
IS. HOW DO WE CREATE ACTUAL
OPPORTUNITIES IN COMMUNITIES FOR
JOBS NOT IN THE OPERATIONS AND
MAINTENANCE CERTAINLY THAT IS
IMPORTANT BUT JUST IN THE
MATERIAL CONSTRUCTION- AND I SAY
THIS. BECAUSE THERE ARE WAYS TO
ENSURE THAT AS WE ARE DOING HIGH
ROAD CONSTRUCTION AND WE ARE
DOING IT WITH REGULATED
APPRENTICESHIP OPPORTUNITIES.
LOCAL IN TARGETED HIRING
CONSTRUCTION CAREERS
OPPORTUNITIES THAT TAKE THESE
RESOURCES AND CAN MULTIPLY THEM
BY. ONE BUILDING THE HOUSING
THAT WE NEED BUT TO CREATING
GOOD JOBS- IN THE COMMUNITY THAT
ACTUALLY BRING SOME OF OUR- LOW
LOW WAGE COMMUNITIES INTO AGAIN
PROXIMITY WITH THE CAMPUS
THROUGH AN ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION
JOB- SO CURIOUS. AS YOU'RE
THINKING ABOUT THESE PROJECTS
WHAT ARE THE MECHANISMS THAT WE
ARE USING TOOLS LIKE TARGET
LOCAL HIGHER THAT WE ARE USING
CONSTRUCTION CAREERS POLICIES
AND CERTAINLY BUILDING
PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE BUILDING
AND CONSTRUCTION TRADES.
TRAINING SKILL MODELS THAT WILL
ACTUALLY USE THESE DOLLARS AND
MULTIPLY THEM TO BUILD THE
HOUSES BUT ALSO TO GIVE
RESIDENTS WHO MAY NOT EVER STEP
FOOT. ON THAT CAMPUS AS A
STUDENT BUT GIVE THEM AN
OPPORTUNITY TO BENEFIT FROM THAT
CAMPUS- IS THIS A SYSTEM WIDE
MODEL THAT WE'RE THINKING ABOUT.
AND I SAY THIS BECAUSE IN THIS
MOMENT- WE'RE IN A DEFICIT IN
EVERY DOLLAR WE SPEND HOUSE TO
BE MULTIPLIED. IT HAS TO DO MORE
THAN JUST ITS INTENDED FUNCTION
IT HOUSE TO ALSO ADDRESS ISSUES
OF ECONOMIC EQUITY RACIAL EQUITY
AND THEN OF COURSE SOLVING THIS
HOUSING CRISIS THAT THAT WE ARE
ALL IN. PRESIDENT DRAKE THANK
YOU AND AGREE WITH THAT AND WE
HAVE A PROGRAM THAT LOOKS TO IN
FACT BRING IN. OF TO DIVERSIFY
THE PEOPLE WHO ARE WORKING ON
OUR PROJECTS ARE HOSPITAL
CONSTRUCTIONS AND EVERYWHERE
WERE VERY ACTIVELY MOVING
FORWARD AND I DON'T HAVE THE ON
THE TOP OF MY HEAD THE DETAILS
OF. HOW THOSE COMMUNITY
CONNECTED- PROGRAMS ARE PART OF
THAT BUILDING BUT THAT WAS THE
CASE WITH OUR AGGIE SQUARE BOB-
CONSTRUCTION HERE IN IN
SACRAMENTO AND IS THE CASE I
KNOW WITH THE A PROJECT AT UC
SAN FRANCISCO WERE HAVING IT A
NEW HOSPITALS BEING BUILT THAT.
OF FINDING LOCAL AND DIVERSE-
CONTRACTORS AND OTHERS TO WORK
ON THIS PROJECT IS A REALLY
IMPORTANT PART OF WHAT WE WHAT
WE DO YOU MENTIONED NEVER SET
FOOT ON CAMPUS AS A- CATEGORY OF
PEOPLE. WE WERE SPEAKING EARLIER
WE HAVE JUST UNDER THREE HUNDRED
THOUSAND STUDENTS BUT WE HAVE
ABOUT TWO HUNDRED THIRTY
THOUSAND WORKERS- ABOUT FACULTY
STAFF EMPLOYEES SO WE ARE A
MAJOR EMPLOYER WE THINK OF THAT
IS A BIG PART OF OUR- OF OUR
OUR- OUR IMPACT ON THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA PROVIDING. GOOD JOB
OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE
NOT OUR STUDENTS IS A IS A
WONDERFUL THING AND- SOMETHING
WE DO EVERY DAY CARE A LOT
ABOUT. YEAH I KNOW I'M THINKING
OF PLACES LIKE UC RIVERSIDE FOR
EXAMPLE AND I KNOW A FEW IF YOU
GO A FEW MILES FROM THAT CAMPUS.
YOU GET COMMUNITIES THAT ARE
ACTUALLY IN RECESSION WHERE YOU
HAVE UNEMPLOYMENT THAT'S ALREADY
HIT ABOUT FIVE FIVE AND A HALF
PERCENT. WHEN YOU GET IN AND-
THAT'S AN INDICATOR OF RECESSION
WHEN YOU HAVE- UNEMPLOYMENT
THAT'S GOING ABOVE THAT 4% MARK.
AND SO YOU KNOW I AND I REALLY
APPRECIATE AND THAT'S WHY WE YOU
KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT. YOU KNOW-
MAKING SURE. THAT THERE'S ENOUGH
BASS. IN THE- SALARIES. OF
LIVING BECAUSE WE KNOW THE POWER
OF THE ECONOMIC ENGINE OF THE OF
THE UC- BUT EVEN WITH THAT THERE
ARE. CONTINUING HIGHER NUMBERS
OF FOLKS AND IN MY DISTRICT IN
PARTICULAR. THE MAJORITY- OF
SOME OF THE WORKERS IN MY AREA
OUR LOW WAGE WORKERS WHEN YOU
JUST LOOK ACROSS THE BOARD THERE
ARE MORE FOLKS IN LOW WAGE
UNREGULATED. JOBS THAT ARE YOU
KNOW FOLKS ARE PIECING TOGETHER
TO MAKE IT AND SO. YEAH FOR ME
IT IS YOU KNOW- AN OPPORTUNITY
AND WE KNOW THIS IS TRUE. ACROSS
SO MANY DISTRICTS- THAT. YOU
KNOW MY COLLEAGUES REPRESENTS SO
. YOU KNOW I I'M JUST CURIOUS
ABOUT THE WAY TO STANDARDIZE A
MODEL THAT ENSURES THAT THERE IS
A TARGET AT LOCAL HIGH HERE
OPPORTUNITY THAT HELPS THE STATE
REALLY. SAFEGUARD OUR
COMMUNITIES AGAINST RECESSION BY
USING THESE DOLLARS THAT HELP TO
REACH THOSE MOST MARGINALIZED
WORKERS TO GIVE THEM INJURY INTO
YOU KNOW THIS CONSTRUCTION
OPPORTUNITY AND HOPEFULLY A
CONSTRUCTION CAREER. I AGREE AND
LET ME SAY THAT I WILL MAKE SURE
WE GET INFORMATION ON WHAT WE'RE
DOING THERE AND- LOVE TO TALK
WITH YOU ABOUT WAYS WE CAN DO
MORE. GREAT AND THEN MY LAST
QUESTION AND I'M SORRY AND IT'S
GOT TO MOVE IT ALONG WE'RE GONNA
BE OUT HERE ABOUT ONE THIRTY WE
STILL PUBLIC COMMENT FOR ISSUES
S. ONE QUICK QUESTION MR YEAH
THERE AND THIS IS ABOUT THEN
I'LL HAVE TO BE A QUICK AND IT
WILL BE IT WILL BE QUICK IT WILL
BE QUICK. YOU SEE RECENTLY
INVESTED FOUR POINT SIX BILLION
IN BLACKSTONE CORPORATION. IN A
MODEST. AND ACROSS THE STATE IN
THE COUNTRY WE KNOW THAT
BLACKSTONE- IS- INVOLVED IN
RAISING RENTS INFLICTING
TENANTS- AND DISPROPORTIONATELY
IMPACTING COMMUNITIES. OF COLOR
AND SO I WANTED TO REALLY
UNDERSTAND WHAT STRATEGIES COULD
YOU SEE USE. TO MAKE HOUSING
MORE AFFORDABLE BUT ALSO- TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT
INVESTING IN CORPORATIONS THAT
ARE FEEDING INTO. THE HOUSING
CRISIS AND PARTICULARLY
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR. GIVE A
QUICK ANSWER GIVEN THE TIME THAT
YOU UNDER THE YEAH I UNDERSTAND
THAT THIS WAS- AND INVESTMENT
MADE BY OUR TREASURER INFO TO
PROTECTING THE ENDOWMENT AND-
RETIREMENT TO HAVING. A SAVINGS
OF OUR OF OUR WORKERS AND SO
IMPORTANT FROM THAT. PERSPECTIVE
THAT'S HOW IT LOOKED INTO AND WE
HAVE THOUSANDS OF COURSE OF AB
IN STATES THAT WE INVEST IN TO
HELP MANAGE THAT LARGER. THAT
RETIREMENT POOL BUT I WILL SAY
THAT I THINK THAT THIS ISN'T
ALSO AN OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH
THOSE PEOPLE IT'S WAS A
SUBSTANTIAL INVESTMENT. AND. TO
HELP MODIFY AND THAT MOVE THEIR
POLICIES TOWARD THINGS THAT WE
WOULD LIKE BETTER AND THEN WE
WILL CONTINUE TO TAKE THAT
OPPORTUNITY. IS THAT A FORMAL
AGREEMENT OR IS THE HOUSE HOW DO
YOU HOW DO YOU ENVISION THAT
YEAH THAT'S ACTUALLY DIED UNITED
LED THE TREASURER IS- THE
TREASURES OFFICES WHERE THIS
CAME FROM AND- IN HIS INITIAL
DISCUSSIONS. THAT HE MENTIONED
WITH THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO
WORK. CLOSELY WITH END AND
ACTUALLY THE THIS PARTICULAR
IMPACT A GROUP CAME TO THE BAR
OF REGENTS MEETING TO TESTIFY
WHAT THEIR PLANS WOULD BE IF
THEY HAD A FORMAL PRESENTATION
ON. THE WAYS THAT THEY WERE
TRYING TO DO THINGS TO. BE A
RESPONSIBLE RESPONSIBLE.
COMMUNITY SAID ISN'T IT
UNDERSTANDING THE CHALLENGES
THAT THE THAT THAT BROUGHT
INDUSTRY CAN PRESENT. WELL I
LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING MORE
ABOUT THAT AND- FIGURING OUT
WAYS THAT IS WE'RE TRYING TO
BUILD HOUSING VERTICALLY
AFFORDABLE HOUSING ON ONE AND WE
DON'T WANT YOU SEE INVESTMENT
HELPING TO DRIVE THE ADDICTION-
IN RAISING RENTS- IN IN
COMMITTEES OF COLOR ON THE OTHER
END SO I APPRECIATE THAT I'M
LOOKING FOR THE FOLLOWING UP.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND A CENTER
MAN HAS A QUICK COPY AND I WILL
JUST KEEP IT BRIEF AND I WANT TO
ASK ANY QUESTIONS AS HELL JUST
BECAUSE WE DO HAVE TIME
CONSTRAINTS I DO APPRECIATE YOU
ALL BEING HERE TODAY. AND FOR.
YOUR PATIENCE IN ANSWERING OUR
QUESTIONS I WILL I JUST WANT TO
REEMPHASIZE THE COMMENTS I MADE
ABOUT CSU I JUST THINK HOUSING
IS SOMETHING WHERE. WE SHOULD
NOT BE DELAYING THESE
INVESTMENTS RIGHT NOW WE THIS IS
A CRISIS IN MANY COMMUNITIES
INCLUDING EVEN IN IRVINE WHERE I
REPRESENT- YOU SEE EYES YOU
KNOW- PRESIDENT DRAKE- WE HAVE
HOMELESS STUDENTS AND HOUSING
INSECURE STUDENTS. IN IRVINE WE
HAVE A DEARTH OF AFFORDABLE
RENTAL HOUSING- IN THIS IS NOT
UNIQUE TO ORANGE COUNTY
OBVIOUSLY WE SEE THIS ACROSS THE
STATE AND I THINK WE JUST NEED
TO MAKE SURE THAT. WE EMPHASIZE
THAT THAT YOU CAN'T LEARN IF
YOU'RE WORRIED THAT WE'RE GOING
TO SLEEP ON A PARTICULAR NIGHT
AND SO- WOULD JUST WANT TO
EMPHASIZE THAT WE SHOULD
CONTINUE PUSHING FORWARD ON. ON
BUILDING OUT AS MUCH FOR WHAT
HOUSING AS WE CAN IN THIS BUDGET
. BEYOND EVEN IN A BUDGET
CONSTRAINT HERE. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. AND THANK EVERYBODY FOR.
THAT DISCUSSION WILL TO MOVE.
ISSUE ONE THOUGH. OF I AM ONE.
THE PATH. TO YOU. PROPOSALS WILL
WILL BEGIN WITH PRESIDENT DRAKE
GO TO. TO THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE AND THEN GO TO THE
LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S OFFICE OF
PRESIDENT DR THANK YOU MR
CHAIRMAN. TRANSFER STUDENTS ARE
CENTRAL TO THE UNIVERSITY'S
IDENTITY. NEARLY 30% OF UC
UNDERGRADUATES OUR COMMUNITY
COLLEGE TRANSFERS AND THEY
REPRESENT AN IMPORTANT PART OF
OUR GOALS TO EXPAND ACCESS. AND
IMPROVE ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE AND
ACHIEVEMENT. THE UNIVERSITY IS
COMMITTED TO PROVIDING
OPPORTUNITIES FOR CALIFORNIA'S
COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTS. WE
PROVIDE ADVISING ACADEMIC
ENRICHMENT AND ONLINE
INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS FROM AS
EARLY AS MIDDLE SCHOOL ALL THE
WAY THROUGH THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE TO HELP THEM PLAN AND
PREPARE FOR TRANSFER. IN
ADDITION UC CAMPUSES ARE
REQUIRED BY STATUTE TO FOLLOW
AND REMAIN COMMITTED. THE GOAL
OF A TWO TO ONE TARGET RATIO OF
ADMITTING ONE TRANSFER STUDENT
FOR EVERY TWO FRESHMEN. THESE
EFFORTS HAVE HAD A POSITIVE
EFFECT. BETWEEN TWENTY FOURTEEN
AND TWENTY TWENTY ONE THE NUMBER
OF COMMUNITY COLLEGE APPLICANTS
TO THE UNIVERSITY INCREASED BY A
THIRD. MEANWHILE THE NUMBER OF
COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTS
ADMITTED TO THE UNIVERSITY
INCREASED BY EVEN MORE 36%
DURING THE SAME PERIOD. WE'VE
ALSO MADE SIGNIFICANT STRIDES IN
INCREASING THE DIVERSITY OF OUR
STUDENT BODY. IN THE LAST DECADE
ENROLLMENT OF STUDENTS FROM
UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS HAS
GROWN MUCH FASTER THAN OVERALL
ENROLLMENT. UNFORTUNATELY
COMMUNITY COLLEGE ENROLLMENT
DECLINES ARE BEGINNING TO AFFECT
THE SIZE OF THE STUDENT DREAD OF
THE TRANSFER STUDENT PULLS YOU
KNOW THERE ARE. A SIGNIFICANT
DECREASES IN THROUGH COMMUNITY
COLLEGE ENROLLMENT ACROSS THE
COUNTRY. COMMUNITY COLLEGE
TRANSFER APPLICANTS FELL BY OVER
15% DURING THE LAST TWO
ADMISSIONS CYCLES. A TREND THAT
REFLECTS A DISQUIETING DECLINES
SHOULD THAT REFLECT DISQUIETING
DECLINES. IN COMMUNITY COLLEGE
ENROLLMENT NATIONALLY. THE
GOVERNOR'S TRANSFER RELATED
PROPOSALS DIRECTED SPECIFICALLY
AT UCLA. FEW WORDS ABOUT UCLA
CURRENTLY UCLA HAS THE HIGHEST
TRANSRADIAL TRANSFER APPLICANTS
SYSTEM WIDE. AND IT'S STUDENT
BODY IS COMPOSED OF THE LARGEST
PROPORTION OF COMMUNITY COLLEGE
TRANSFERS OF ANY OF OUR CAMPUSES
. UCLA'S APPLICATION REVIEW
PROCESS ALSO RESULTS IN
ADMITTING AND ROLLING AND
TRANSFER CLASS. WITH GREATER
DIVERSITY THAN ITS FRESHMAN
ENTRANCE. THIS MAY SEEM AN
REMARKABLE BUT IT IS NOT THE
CASE FOR THE UNIVERSITY AT LARGE
WHERE THE FRESHMAN CLASS IS MORE
DIVERSE SOMETIMES SUBSTANTIALLY.
THAN THE TRANSFER CLASS. THE
UNIVERSITY OF CALUMET'S SEEMS
COUNTER INTUITIVE BUT I CAN TALK
MORE ABOUT THAT IF WE NEED TO.
BUT UCLA IN FACT THE TRANSFER
APP REVIEW PROP- PROCESS RESULTS
IN A MEETING AND ROLLING A
TRANSFER CLASS THAT IS MORE
DIVERSE THAN IT FRESHMAN ENTRANT
CLASS. THE RESEARCH CALIFORNIA
APPRECIATES AND IS ALIGNED WITH
THE GOVERNOR'S INTENT. IMPROVE
THE TRANSFER EXPERIENCE FOR
COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTS. LOOK
FORWARD TO DEVELOPING SOLUTIONS
WITH THE GOVERNOR AND THE
LEGISLATURE THAT STREAMLINE AND
IMPROVE THAT TRANSFER PROCESS
THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
FOR ALL OF THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE. KAMALA CHAMBERS WITH
THE PERMANENT FINANCE PARTICULAR
TO THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
LOS ANGELES UCLA. AS A CONDITION
OF RECEIVING TWENTY MILLION
OFFICE THEY GENERAL FUND THROUGH
THE UC CAMPUS ALLOCATION MODEL.
THE ADMINISTRATION REQUIRES UCLA
TO PARTICIPATE IN THE UC
TRANSFER ADMISSION GUARANTEE
PROGRAM TACK AND TO OFFER
ASSOCIATE DEGREE FOR TRANSFER
PROGRAM PATHWAYS. TO STUDENTS
SEEKING TO TRANSFER FROM A
CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGE.
THE ADMINISTRATION IS COMMITTED
TO INCREASING STUDENT ACCESS TO
HIGHER EDUCATION AFFORDABILITY
AND EQUITY. THIS PROPOSAL FOR
INCREASES ACCESS TO STUDENTS AND
PROMOTES BETTER ALIGNMENT IN A
PUBLIC HIGHER EDUCATION
INSTITUTIONS. IN RESPONSE TO
THIS PROPOSAL THE UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA HAS BEEN ACTIVELY
ENGAGED IN US AND THE
LEGISLATURE ON POLICY SOLUTIONS
TO ACHIEVE THESE GOALS. THIS
COMPETITION THIS CONVERSATIONS
ARE ONGOING. WE WELCOME USES
PROPOSALS AND LOOK FORWARD TO
CONTINUE WORKING TOGETHER TO
INCREASE ACCESS TO HIGHER
EDUCATION FOR ALL CALIFORNIANS.
THANK YOU. OF LEGISLATIVE
ANALYST. INCLINE WITH THE L. A.
L. OUR COMMENTS ON THIS AS ITEM
BEGIN ON PAGE TWENTY FOUR. WE
RECOMMEND THAT THE LEGISLATURE
REJECT THIS PROPOSAL AND ADOPT A
MORE HOLISTIC APPROACH. THE
GOVERNOR'S ATTEMPTING TO EASE
THE TRANSFER PROCESS HOWEVER THE
SINGLING OUT OF ONE UC CAMPUS
THAT'S POOR POLICY PRESIDENTS.
AS THE PRESIDENT JUST INDICATED
UCLA ACT CURRENTLY ACCEPTS THE
HIGHEST NUMBER OF TRANSFER
STUDENTS- THAN ANY OTHER UC
CAMPUSES WELL AS HAVING THE
LOWEST FRESHMAN. TO FRESHMAN TO
TRANSFER STUDENT RATIO. SECONDLY
THIS PROPOSAL FOCUSES SOLELY ON
INPUTS THE ADOPTION OF THIS
TRANSFER POLICY RATHER THAN
OUTCOMES WHICH WOULD BE THE
ACADEMIC SUCCESS OF THEIR
STUDENTS. IF THE LEGISLATURE
WOULD LIKE YOU ALL UC CAMPUSES
TO PARTICIPATE IN CERTAIN
TRANSFER PROGRAMS. AS THE
GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL WOULD
REQUIRE UCLA TO DO WE WOULD
ENCOURAGE YOU TO COORDINATE WITH
YOU SEE ON HOW TO BEST NAVIGATE
THE ASSOCIATED ACADEMIC
TRANSITIONS. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU. LET ME JUST QUICKLY ASK THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE. IT AND I
RUN THE RISK OF BEING THE ONLY
NON SOUTHERN CALIFORNIAN ON THIS
COMMITTEE AND HAVE BEEN ALLEGE
DIRECTOR OF THE UCLA PENNANT UP
IN OUR OFFICE- WHY DID YOU
CHOOSE UCLA TO THE EXCLUSION OF
THE OTHER CAMPUSES TO DO THIS
PARTICULARLY SINCE IT HAS THE
HIGHEST. OUR BRAVE TRAINED-
URBAN WEST NUMBER OF TRANSFERS
NOW. ADMINISTRATION HAS LONG
WORKED TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF
TRANSFERS. AND TO FACILITATE THE
STUDENT TRANSFER PROCESS TO FOUR
YEAR INSTITUTIONS WE HAVE FULL
CONFIDENCE AND THAT THE UCLA IS
A QUICK TO IMPLEMENT THE POLICY
AND WE'RE LOOKING FOR. NO I KNOW
YOU YOU YOU YOU'RE IN FAVOR OF
TRANSFERS BUT YOU PICK THE ONE
THAT HAS HARLEM WHY DID YOU DO
THAT TO THE EXCLUSION OF OTHERS.
THE POLICY SIXTY INCREASE FIBER
CITY EQUITY AND STUDENT ACCESS
TO HIGHER EDUCATION. UCLA AND
ROLES FORMER STUDENTS FROM SANTA
MONICA COLLEGE THAN HE DOES FROM
IS LOS ANGELES COLLEGE THAT'S
JUST ONE EXAMPLE. AND WE'RE
LOOKING. TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE.
K. MOM. THE ARMALITE CENTER
SMALLER CUEVAS IN A MOMENT UP ON
THAT IF YOU WANT TO PUT OTHER.
IS IT. THIS IS INTENDED TO BE A
PILOT. HOW WOULD YOU TAKE THE
INFORMATION YOU LEARN FROM THIS
EXTENDED OTHER CAMPUSES AND WHAT
DO YOU ENVISION FOR THAT IF
THIS. WAS ACTUALLY DONE AND IS
SUCCESSFUL. WE'RE LOOKING AT THE
PROPOSAL AND SEE HOW THE
PROPOSAL TO SERVE AS A BASIS TO
IMPROVE ALIGNMENT BETWEEN
COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND THE UC.
AND FIRE PURSUE IT FOR A GREAT
ACCESS AND EQUITY HEIGHT
EDUCATION WE WILL MAKE FUNDING
ASSESSMENT REGARDING OUR
APPROACH. TO THIS POLICY AS WE
LEARN MORE. OKAY I THINK THERE'S
STILL SOME WORK TO BE DONE ON
THIS PROPOSAL BUT LET ME ASK
SENATOR SMALLWOOD CUEVAS ABOUT
IF HE HAS A QUESTION OR COME IN
NO I DON'T WANT COMMON I WANT TO
MAKE IS THERE IS SUCH A-
GEOGRAPHIC. DIVERSITY OF OUR
COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEMS- SOME
URBAN FROM SUBURBAN. SOME MIGHT
EVEN DESCRIBE SOMEWHAT- RURAL IN
NATURE AND THEN YOU KNOW- THIS
DYNAMIC UNIVERSITY AND- IT'S
ALWAYS BEEN TROUBLING FOR ME THE
SANTA MONICA COLLEGE HAS BEEN
THE ONE THAT IS. I MEAN
OVERWHELMINGLY WHAT IS THE
PERCENTAGE IN TERMS OF THE SHARE
OF TRANSFER STUDENTS I MEAN IT'S
A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT. I THINK
I'M WILLING FROM THE CHAIR TO
STIPULATE IT'S HOT IT'S NOT KEEP
GOING LEE HIGH YEAH. BUT THEN
WHEN WE LOOK AT SOME OF THE
OTHER CAMP IS A PARTICULARLY
WHEN WE LOOK AT THOSE CAMPUSES
THAT HAVE SOME OF THE MOST-
LOWER INCOME AND MORE OF THE
RACIAL DIVERSITY IN PARTICULARLY
LIKE RETURNING CITIZENS FROM
PRISON FOR EXAMPLE AND- SINGLE
PARENTS THOSE. CAMPUSES ARE
WHERE WE'RE NOT SEEN AS ROBUST-
TRANSFER IN PARTICIPATION SO I.
YOU KNOW I APPRECIATE THAT- THAT
UCLA HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A
CAMPUS FOR. FOR DOING THIS AND I
DON'T THINK IT'S NECESSARY IT IS
BECAUSE OF ITS IMP YOU KNOW ITS-
SUCCESS IN TRANSFER BUT ALSO
IT'S CHALLENGES IN REACHING
THOSE CAMPUSES AND IF WE CAN FIX
THAT I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF
GENERATIVE INFORMATION- TO COME
OUT OF THAT FOR THE REST OF THE
STATE. I YOU KNOW I WANT TO ASK
IN- IN TERMS OF THIS INVESTMENT
YOU KNOW WHAT ARE SOME OF THE-
IT MINISTRY TO CHALLENGES THAT
MAY EXIST IN TERMS OF. REALLY
PARTNERING WITH THE DIVERSE
NUMBER OF COMMUNITY COLLEGE
CAMPUSES ONE OF THE THINGS. I
STRUGGLED WITH- WHEN TEACHING A
CLASS AT EIGHT AT UCLA AND
TRYING TO BUILD PARTNERSHIPS
WITH SOME OF THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGES IS JUST. IN MANY CASES-
THERE'S VERY LIMITED
COMMUNICATION BETWEEN BOTH
CAMPUSES- AT THE TREMENDOUS WORK
BY THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE
PARTNERSHIP- TEAM- BUT OBVIOUSLY
THEIR RESOURCES AND CAPACITY IS
LIMITED- WHEN YOU HAVE TO SORT
OF BREAK THROUGH YOU KNOW SOME
OF THE YOU KNOW- ARTICULATION
ISSUES YOU KNOW HOW DO WE MAKE
SURE THAT THE STUDENTS CAN
ACTUALLY APPLY- THEIR CREDITS
FROM THAT CAMPUS TO OUR
ENROLLMENT. IT BECOMES SORT OF
IT OF AN ADMINISTRATIVE.
NIGHTMARE TO TRY TO ACTUALLY
BUILD THOSE KINDS OF
PARTNERSHIPS SO I'M CURIOUS HOW
THIS WILL HELP BRING DOWN SOME
OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE. SILOS
THAT KEEP OUR SYSTEMS SEPARATE
IN WHAT IS THE INTENTIONAL
INVESTMENT IN THAT COMMUNITY
COLLEGE PARTNERSHIP IN EXPANDING
THAT SO THAT. YOU KNOW THERE CAN
BE MORE RELATIONSHIP BUILDING
VERTICALLY FOR THOSE CAMPUSES
THAT I'M HAVE SOME OF THE LOWEST
TRANSFER RATES. IN THE SYSTEM.
YES I MAKE SURE THAT I- LONG
AGAIN A LONGER YOU ASK QUESTIONS
THAT ARE LONGER CONVERSATIONS I
APPRECIATE THAT TO LOOK FORWARD
TO IF YOU WISH TO ANSWER REALLY
BRIEFLY AND DEFER TO A LONGER
CONVERSATION AND THAT WORKS TO.
LIMIT TO REALLY BRIEFLY INTO FOR
TO A LONGER CONVERSATION REALLY
BRIEFLY ANSWERS THAT THIS WE ARE
WORKING WITH THE GOVERNOR'S
OFFICE ON AND OUTCOMES RELATED
APPROACH TO GETTING THE DOING
WHAT WE CAN TO INCREASE. TO
FACILITATE TRANSFER AND TO
INCREASE THE DIVERSITY OF
SCHOOLS THAT STUDENTS ARE
TRANSFERRING FROM. AND THAT WITH
THIS WAS NOT OUR PROPOSAL. SO WE
ARE WORKING WITH THE GOVERNOR TO
GET TO SOMETHING THAT WILL GET
TO THE OUTCOMES THAT WE WISH
WHICH ARE ACTUALLY THE SAME AS
THE OUTCOMES THAT YOU ARE
STATING. LOOK FOR TO HEARING
MORE THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I
THINK. THEY SAID AND NO NEW
MONEY I CAN'T TELL IF THAT'S
GOING TO RE OPEN IT BUT THAT'S
WHAT WAS SAID. CENTER MAN ANY
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS NONE THEN
LET ME THANK YOU VERY MUCH OF
FOR THIS AND LET ME CHECK TO
WEAR THANK PRESIDENT DRAKE
BECAUSE I KNOW THAT COMPLETES.
YOUR TIME HERE AND- YOU WERE
VERY GENEROUS WITH THE EXTRA
TIME WAS. TAKEN AND SO THANKS
FOR BEING HERE GOOD TO SEE ALL
OF YOU AND I KNOW THAT WILL
CONNECT AND TALK AGAINST HER
PHOTOGENIC YOU JUST WHAT I WAS
GOING TO SAY IS I KNOW THERE
WILL BE SOME CONTINUED
DISCUSSIONS. OKAY THANK YOU. I
WE'RE GONNA MOVE TO ISSUE NUMBER
TWO DELAYED CAPITAL OUTLAY
SUPPORT WE OF GABRIELA CHÁVEZ
FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE
INCLINED. AND SAY HOME BURTON
AND FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA WILL START WITH THE
DEPARTMENT FIND. IN AN EFFORT TO
ADDRESS THE STATE'S CURRENT
FISCAL CHALLENGES. THE
GOVERNOR'S BUDGET PROPOSES TO
THE LATE THREE PROJECTS IN THE
TWENTY TWENTY TO BUDGET ACT AS
FOLLOWS. THE LATE TWO HUNDRED
MILLION HUNDRED MANY TWENTY TWO
TWENTY THREE AND A HUNDRED
MILLION TWENTY THREE TWENTY
FOUR. OF THE SUPPORT FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF AN INSTITUTE FOR
IMMUNOLOGY AND IMMUNOTHERAPY I
UCLA. THIS IS THE LATE TO FISCAL
YEAR TWENTY FOUR TWENTY FIVE.
THE LATE EIGHTY THREE MILLION TO
SUPPORT THE UC BERKELEY CLEAN
ENERGY CAMPUS PROJECTS CURRENTLY
PLANNED FOR FISCAL YEAR TWENTY
THREE TWENTY FOUR. IN THE LATE
TWO TWENTY FOUR TWENTY FIVE.
EIGHT TO THE LATE EIGHTY THREE
MILLION TO SUPPORT THE CAMPUS IS
EXPANSION PROJECTS ARE UC
RIVERSIDE AND UC MERCED. WHICH
ARE CURRENTLY PLANNED FOR FISCAL
YEAR TWENTY THREE TWENTY FOUR.
AND AT THE LATEST TWENTY FOUR
TWENTY FIVE. THE ADMINISTRATION
IS COMMITTED TO SUPPORTING THIS
PROJECT. THAT THE LAY FUND IN
MAKE THAT THE THAT THE LIFE
FUNDING MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR
ALL PROJECTS. TO RECEIVE THE
APPROPRIATE SUPPORT THANK YOU
VERY MUCH I WILL MOVE ON TO THE
LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S OFFICE. IN
CLIMATE THE L. A. L. OUR
COMMENTS ON. FIRST ALL STAR WITH
THE PROJECTS IDENTIFIED ON PAGES
TWENTY SIX AND TWENTY SEVEN OF
YOUR AGENDA HIGHLIGHT THE
PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN DELAYED.
WE RECOMMEND ADDING THE UCLA
INSTITUTE FOR IMMUNOLOGY AND
IMMUNOTHERAPY TO THE BUDGET
SOLUTION LIST. THERE IS
CURRENTLY LITTLE PROJECT
INFORMATION AVAILABLE ON THE
PROJECT SCOPE COST OWNERSHIP.
AND OPERATIONS OF THE FACILITY.
WE RECOMMEND AT THE UC MERCED
EXPANSION TO THE BUDGET SOLUTION
LIST. OF THIS IS BASED ON
ENROLLMENT PROJECTIONS AS THIS
PROJECT IS NOT TO SERVE AN
IMMEDIATE CAMPUS NEED. IF THE
LEGISLATURE DOES WISH TO MOVE
FORWARD WITH ONE OR BOTH OF
THESE PROJECTS WE WOULD
RECOMMEND SWEEPING THEIR TWENTY
TWO TWENTY THREE FUNDING AS
NEITHER PROJECT HAS DEMONSTRATED
THE NEED FOR FUNDING AT THIS
TIME. REGARDING THE RIVERSIDE
CAMPUS EXPANSION PROJECT
FACILITY UTILIZATION REPORTS
PROVIDE STRONGER JUSTIFICATION
FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS
PROJECT. HOWEVER WE RECOMMEND
FUNDING THIS PROJECT UTILIZING
UNIVERSITY BONDS INSTEAD OF
GENERAL FUND. MOST PROJECTS OF
THIS SCALE OUR DEBT FINANCED
WHICH SPREADS THE COST OVER MANY
YEARS THIS WILL. INCREASE THE
PROJECT'S COST IN THE LONG RUN
DUE TO INTEREST PAYMENTS BUT
WHICH SHIFT. WOULD PROVIDE
IMMEDIATE- GENERAL FUND RELIEF.
REGARDING THE BERKELEY CLEAN
ENERGY CAMPUS WE RECOMMEND YOU
SEE PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION TO
THE LEGISLATURE FOR THIS
PROJECT. IT'S CURRENTLY UNCLEAR
HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL GENERAL FUND
WILL BE NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE
PROJECT. AS WELL AS THE
ASSOCIATED ENERGY SAVINGS THAT
WOULD BE GENERATED FROM THE
PROJECT UPON COMPLETION. AT A
MINIMUM A FULL FINANCIAL PLAN
SHOULD BE PROVIDED THAT
IDENTIFIES THE PROJECT'S COST
ENERGY SAVINGS CREATED. AS WELL
AS CLIMATE RELATED BENEFITS BY
YEAR. AND IF THERE IS A SOUND
FINANCIAL PLAN FOR THE PROJECT
WE WOULD ALSO RECOMMEND
FINANCING THIS PROJECT UTILIZING
UNIVERSITY BONDS. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OF A AND
THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA.
THANK YOU CHIRLA OR TO MEMBERS
OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE M. SAY OVER
TEN AND FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA. I'LL TAKE JUST A FEW
MINUTES TO DESCRIBE THESE
PROJECTS- THE COMMITTEE UP ALL
OF THESE PROJECTS RECEIVED
FUNDING IN THE CURRENT YEAR AND
HAVE HAD FUNDING OF PROPOSED TO
BE DELAYED DUE THE TWENTY FOUR
TWENTY FIVE FISCAL YEAR. THE UC
MERCED IN UC RIVERSIDE PROJECTS
ARE CAMPUS EXPANSION PROJECTS
WHICH WILL SUPPORT INCREASES IN
ENROLLMENT BOTH THE CAMPUSES
NEED TO DELAYED. TWO THOUSAND
TWENTY THREE TWENTY FOUR FUNDS
IN ORDER TO CONTINUE WITH THEIR
INTENDED PROJECTS. THE UC MERCED
PLANS TO CONSTRUCT THE CLASSROOM
AND OFFICE BUILDING FOUR THREE
FOUR AN ESTIMATED TOTAL PROJECT
COST OF SIXTY MILLION DOLLARS.
THE BUILDING WILL PROVIDE NEW
CLASSROOMS FACULTY OFFICE SPACE
AND RESEARCH SPACE. FOR THE
CAMPUS TO BEGIN OFFERING TWENTY
NEW UNDERGRADUATE MAJORS IN THE
NEXT FIVE YEARS. THE
CONSTRUCTION OF THIS PROJECT IS
NECESSARY TO INCREASE THE
CAMPUS'S INSTRUCTIONAL CAPACITY
BY INCREASING THE INVENTORY OF
LARGE AND MEDIUM SIZED
CLASSROOMS WHICH ARE NECESSARY.
TO INITIATE SIGNIFICANT LARGE
UNDERGRADUATE MAJOR PROGRAMS.
THE BUILDING WILL INCLUDE THIRTY
FIVE NEW FACULTY OFFICES
ALLOWING THE CAMPUS TO HIRE
NECESSARY FACULTY TO LAUNCH NEW
MAJORS. THE EXPANSION OF
AVAILABLE MAJORS WILL ALLOW THE
CAMPUS TO ATTRACT MORE STUDENTS
AND EXPAND ENROLLMENT TO HELP
THERE'S REACHED A SYSTEM WIDE
ENROLLMENT GROWTH GOALS. UC
RIVERSIDE CAMPUS SIMS EXPANSION
WOULD CONSTRUCT THE
UNDERGRADUATE TEACHING AND
LEARNING FACILITY FOR AN
ESTIMATED TOTAL PROJECT COST OF
HUNDRED FIFTY FOUR MILLION
DOLLARS. THE PROJECT CONSISTS OF
NINE HUNDRED CLASSROOM SEATS AND
CRITICAL CLASS LAB AND STUDIO
SPACES THAT WILL SERVE THOUSANDS
OF UC RIVERSIDE STUDENTS ON A
DAILY BASIS. ENABLING THE CAMPUS
TO INCREASE COURSE AVAILABILITY
REDUCE TIME 2 DEGREES AND
FACILITATE ENROLLMENT GROWTH.
THE CAMPUS PROJECTS THAT THIS
FACILITY WILL ALLOW FOR
INCREASED INVOLVEMENT OF UP TO
THREE THOUSAND STUDENTS. THE
CAMPUS NEEDS THE FUNDING
CERTAINTY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH
THE INTENDED DESIGN BUILD
PROCUREMENT FOR THE PROJECT. THE
UC BERKELEY CLEAN ENERGY CAMPUS
PROJECT RECEIVED EIGHTY THREE
MILLION IN THE CURRENT YEAR AND
WAS PROPOSED TO RECEIVE ANOTHER
EIGHTY THREE MILLION IN THE
BUDGET YEAR. OF THAT ADDITIONAL
FUNDING IS NOW BEING DELAYED AND
THE CLEAN ENERGY CAMPUS PROJECT
WILL REPLACE RECOMMENDED TO BE
DELIGHTED RECOMMENDED TO BE
DELAYED AND I HOPE THAT IT WILL
NOT BE- THE CLEAN ENERGY CAMPUS
PROJECT WILL REPLACE UC
BERKELEY'S NATURAL GAS FUELED
COCHIN PLANT THAT SUPPLIES 90%
OF CAMPUS. ENERGY WITH A WITH A
CLEAN ENERGY MICROGRID THAT'S
WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO REPLACE IT
WITH THE CLEAN ENERGY MICROGRID.
THE CLEAN ENERGY CAMPUS PROJECT
ENGINEERING RING AND DESIGN
STUDIES ARE NEAR COMPLETION. AND
PRECONSTRUCTION DESIGNS WILL BE
COMPLETED BY THE END OF THE
YEAR. CONSTRUCTIONS READY TO
BEGIN IN TWO THOUSAND TWENTY
FOUR ON THE FIRST TWO PROJECT
PHASES. PHASE ONE ALONE WILL
ACHIEVE TWO HUNDRED MILLION IN
AVOIDED COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH
THE UPKEEP OF THE OLD PLANT AND
THE H. STEAM SYSTEM. PHASE ONE
WILL REDUCE THE CAMPUS FOSSIL
FUEL COMBUSTION BY 85% AND- SEE
A 70% REDUCTION AND RELATED
CAMPUS CARBON EMISSIONS. THE
SUBSTANTIAL REDUCTIONS COMBINED
WITH BIOMETHANE CREDITS WILL
MOVE UC BERKELEY. YOU KNOW WE
HEARD THESE PROPOSALS LAST YEAR
WE KNOW A LOT ABOUT THAT OKAY I
WILL MOVE ON. SO I JUST WANNA
MENTION ABOUT THE CALIFORNIA
INSTITUTE FOR IMMUNOLOGY AND
IMMUNOTHERAPY THAT IT'S GOING TO
BE A MULTI DISCIPLINARY RESEARCH
INSTITUTE. UTILIZING
BIOTECHNOLOGIES TO STUDY
IMMUNOLOGY AND IMMUNOTHERAPY. OF
THE INSTITUTE WAS DEVELOPED IN
CLOSE COLLABORATION WITH A LARGE
NUMBER CONSTITUENTS INCLUDING
LEADING SCIENTISTS DOCTORS
ACADEMICS AND PHILANTHROPISTS.
AND THE LAND FOR THE INSTITUTE
WILL BE PROVIDED BY UCLA. OF TO
DATE OVER TWO MILLION DOLLARS
AND PRIVATE PHILANTHROPIC GIFTS
HAVE BEEN SPENT ON- THE
INSTITUTE INCLUDING DRAFTING DE
AFFILIATION AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE NONPROFIT IN THE UNIVERSITY.
AND THEN SOME SCOPING PLANS. OF
THE UC REGENTS WILL CONSIDER
THIS PROJECT IN AN UPCOMING
MEETING AND SHOULD THE FUNDING
BE PROVIDED THIS BY THE STATE
DOESN'T. THE PROJECT WILL BE
READY TO BID AS A DESIGN BUILD
CONSTRUCTION IN THE SUMMER OF
TWO THOUSAND AND TWENTY THREE.
AND WE REQUEST THAT THE
LEGISLATURE SUPPORT THESE
PROJECTS THANK YOU FOR YOUR
TIME. MMHM I THINK IN THE
INTEREST OF TIME I'M AN AMERICAN
COMMENT. IN THAT AND THAT IS- HI
WATER PROBLEMS WE HAD MORE TIME
PRESSED WHY. UCLA WAS. STILL ON
THE BUDGET IN THE OTHER THREE
WERE DELAYED AND ENDED. THE YOU
KNOW IN MANY PARTS OF LIFE WE
HAVE TO LOVE ARE ALL OUR
CHILDREN EQUALLY AT. UCLA GOT TO
BREAK IN THE LAST ONE YOU SEE
ALWAYS GETTING THE BREAK HERE.
ARE SOME OF THE OTHERS MIGHT
ACTUALLY HAVE COST BENEFIT THE
CODE GENERATION MIGHT NOT JUST
BE CLIMATE BENEFIT COST
GENERATION TO THE BUDGET THE
LEGISLATIVE ANALYST IS MADE VERY
DETAILED RECOMMENDATIONS
ALTHOUGH I DON'T WANT TO GIVE
PEOPLE HEART ATTACKS THAT ARE
LISTENING BECAUSE- WE HAVE HEARD
FROM ADVOCATES FOR DIFFERENT
PROPOSALS BUT I SEEM. IT SEEMS
TO ME THAT IF THEY'RE GOING TO
BE REDUCTIONS AND WE PROBLEM BUT
OUR PREFERENCE WOULD NOT. BE TO
ROLL THEM FORWARD WE'LL HAVE TO
LOOK AT ALL THESE DIFFERENT
FACTORS AND TRIED TO MAKE A
DECISION WHEN JUST ASK IF THEIR
COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM MY
COLLEAGUES BEFORE WE MOVE ON. ON
PARDON. OKAY AND- OKAY THERE
GOOD. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH
WE'RE GONNA MOVE TO ISSUE NUMBER
THREE. WHICH IS THE AND- LET ME
ALTHOUGH I KNOW THAT. MISTER
KLEIN MIGHT EVEN WANT TO STAY
HERE BECAUSE HE'S COMING BACK
FOR THE NEXT ONE- ISSUE THREE A
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA AND ITS
OVERSIGHT ON THREE DIFFERENT
PROGRAMS THAT WERE IN LAST
YEAR'S BUDGET. THANK YOU CHIRLA
HEARD I WANT TO THANK THE
LEGISLATURE FOR INVESTING IN THE
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA OUR
STUDENTS AND OUR INNOVATIVE
RESEARCH AS A MEANS OF
DEVELOPING SOLUTIONS FOR
CALIFORNIA. LET ME FIRST START
WITH THE CLIMATE INITIATIVES THE
CURRENT YEAR BUDGET PROVIDED
HUNDRED EIGHTY FIVE MILLION
DOLLARS OF WHICH ONE HUNDRED
MILLION. WAS FOR RESEARCH GRANTS
AND INNOVATION WHILE EIGHTY FIVE
MILLION WAS DISTRIBUTED TO UC
MERCED UC RIVERSIDE AND UC SANTA
CRUZ. FOR CLIMATE INITIATIVES ON
THOSE CAMPUSES. OUT OF THE ONE
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS SO FAR
FIFTEEN MILLION AND CLIMATE
INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP
A FUNDING WAS DISPERSED WITH ONE
MILLION PROVIDED TO EACH OF OUR
CAMPUSES UC HEALTH SYSTEM UC
AGRICULTURE AND NATURAL
RESOURCES. THE UC STATEWIDE
NATURAL RESERVE SYSTEM AND THE
UC AFFILIATED LAWRENCE LIVERMORE
AND LAWRENCE BERKELEY NATIONAL
LABORATORY'S. THE SEED CLIMATE
FOCUSED RESEARCH AND INNOVATION
FUNDING- THE REMAINDER OF THE
HUNDRED MILLION IN GRANTS WILL
BE DIVIDED INTO SMALLER SEED
GRANTS OF LARGER MATCHING
GRANTS. THE C. GRANT
APPLICATIONS WERE DUE ON APRIL
SIXTH AND AWARDS WILL BE MADE
SOON. OF THE MATCHING GRANT
PROJECTS ARE ENVISIONED TO BE
LARGER IN SCOPE AND POTENTIAL
INCLUDES TEAMS COMPRISED OF
AFFILIATES FROM MULTIPLE
UNIVERSITIES. THOSE APPLICATIONS
ARE DUE ON MAY FOURTH. THE UC
RIVERSIDE CAMPUS RECEIVED FORTY
SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS FOR CAMPUS
CLIMATE INITIATIVES WHICH THEY
ARE SPENDING ON THE OASIS PARK
CLEAN TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION
CENTER. SO FAR TO CAMPUSES SPENT
JUST UNDER SIX MILLION DOLLARS
ON THAT OASIS PARK PROJECT. THE
UC SANTA CRUZ CAMPUS RECEIVED
TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS FOR
CAMPUS CLIMATE INITIATIVES WHICH
THEY'RE USING TO ESTABLISH A
CENTER FOR COASTAL CLIMATE
RESILIENCE. THE CENTER HAS
IDENTIFIED FIVE MILLION IN
COASTAL RESILIENCY PROJECTS AT
THE CENTER WILL LEAD. THEY HAVE
ESTABLISHED FIVE GRADUATE
STUDENT FELLOWSHIPS TO WORK ON
COASTAL CLIMATE ISSUES AND THE
CENTERS DEVELOPING A DECISION
SUPPORT TOOL TO ACCESS FUTURE
COASTAL CLIMATE RISK AND THE
VALUE OF NATURE BUILDING AND
RESILIENCE AMONG OTHER PROJECTS.
THE UC MERCED CAMPUS RECEIVED
SEVENTEEN MILLION FOR CLIMATE
INITIATIVES OF WHICH NINE
MILLION IS IN THE PROCESS OF
BEING AWARDED US CLIMATE ACTION
RESEARCH SEAT FUNDS. THOSE
AWARDS WILL BE ANNOUNCED ON
APRIL THIRTIETH AND JUST A
COUPLE OF DAYS. MERCED IS USING
ANOTHER SIX MILLION TO START THE
UC MERCED INSTITUTE FOR CLIMATE
RESEARCH IN EQUITY WHICH WILL
STUDY GREEN ENERGY WILDFIRE
ADAPTATION. AND SOCIAL JUSTICE
ISSUES. ON MOVING ON TO THE B.
YOU MOVE ON MAYBE I CAN MAKE A
COURT QUICK QUESTION IT JUST
CLARIFIES THAT SUBJECT WHICH IS
YOU WENT THROUGH A LONG LIST OF
WHERE THEY ARE BUT THEY ALL SEEM
TO BE IN PROCESS IT'S NOT LIKE.
A SINGLE ONE OF THOSE HAS DONE
AN APPRECIABLE AMOUNT OF WORK TO
BE ABLE TO. A VALUE WAITED
DISAPPOINTED THAT THE REPORT ON
THE OVERSIGHT IS THAT YOU'VE
TAKEN VERY SERIOUSLY THIS HOW
YOU'VE DONE GRANT PROCESSES ARE
MOVING IT OUT THE DOOR BUT IT'S
NOT LIKE ANYBODY THAT'S RECEIVED
A GRANT. HAS IF THEY HAVE SOME
YOU JUST ANNOUNCE IT WORKS WITH
HAVE DONE ON PUSH WILL NOT WORK
YET. THE THAT'S CORRECT IT. WE
TOOK WE TOOK A CAREFUL MIND YOU
DON'T NEED TO GET BANNED THAT'S
CORRECT WAS ENOUGH ALL RIGHT I.
BASICALLY YOU REPORTED ON HOW
THE MONEY IS MOVING BUT THERE'S
NOT A REAL SAID ABOUT COMES TO
TALK ABOUT. THERE ARE NO
OUTCOMES YET I HOPE NEXT YEAR TO
REPORT MORE ON RECORD OUTCOMES
MAY BE THEN WE WILL MOVE ON TO
YOUR SECOND. ACT GOING. YEAH SO
I THINK I THINK THIS IS REALLY
IN. AND I DIDN'T HEAR ANY I JUST
MISSED IT ANY- DECARBONIZATION
OR ENERGY SIDE PROPOSALS AND I
JUST I KNOW THERE'S A HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLAR POOR YOU'RE STILL
LOOKING TO ALLOCATE BUT I JUST
WANT TO EMPHASIZE THE IMPORTANCE
OF THAT. I THINK THIS IS A VERY
IMPORTANT RESEARCH INITIATIVE I
ALSO WANT TO ASK A QUESTION IN
MY MEETING WITH THE PRESIDENT TO
RAKE EARLIER THIS MONTH. I HE
MENTIONED THAT- A LOT OF THIS
MONEY AND I JUST WANTED TO
UNDERSTAND IF THIS IS CORRECT IT
WAS ACTUALLY GONNA GO TO
ELECTRIFICATION PROJECTS NOT TO
DIRECT RESEARCH IS THAT YOUR
UNDERSTANDING AS WELL. NO I
THINK THAT YOU MIGHT BE
CONFUSING THE PREVIOUS ITEM WITH
THIS ONE BECAUSE- NORMALLY THE
OTHER SAID OBJECT CLIMATE
RESEARCH FUNDING BUT IT MIGHT BE
JUST A MISUNDERSTANDING. NO I'M
NOT TALKING ABOUT THEN YOU CAN
CLARIFY. WE WERE TAKING SOME OF
OUR DEFERRED MAINTENANCE FUNDING
AND EACH CAMPUS RECEIVED A FEW
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS TO DO
ELECTRIFICATION STUDY. BUT THAT
WAS OUR DEFERRED MAINTENANCE
FUNDING THAT'S DIFFERENT THAN
WHAT YOU JUST WHAT EXACTLY
FUNDING IS ALL GOING TO RESEARCH
A RESEARCH RELATED. GRANTS AND
PROJECTS IS THAT EXACTLY ON
CLIMATE AND CLIMATE INNOVATION
WHICH HE SAID LAST YEAR HE
REALLY WANTED IN ANY OF THE TIME
AT WHICH HE WAS- TATER IS US
FOR. POTENTIALLY PUSHING INTO
RESEARCH THANK YOU. OKAY THEN
LET'S GO AHEAD AND LET YOU
REPORT ON THE FOSTER YOUTH. OKAY
SAYS THE STUDENT SERVICES
APPROPRIATION RECEIVED IN THE
CURRENT YEAR- THE LEGISLATURE
PROVIDED SIX MILLION AN ON GOING
FOR FORMER FOSTER YOUTH SERVICES
. AND THESE FUNDS WERE
DISTRIBUTED TO CAMPUSES WHICH
EACH CAMPUS RECEIVING A BASE
ALLOCATION OF TWO HUNDRED FIFTY
THOUSAND. AND THE REMAINING
FUNDS WERE DISTRIBUTED BASED ON
THE ESTIMATED NUMBER OF FORMER
FOSTER YOUTH AT EACH CAMPUS.
HAVING RECEIVED THESE FUNDS SO
FAR SEVEN CAMPUSES HAVE HIRED
PERMANENT STAFF TO SERVE FORMER
FOSTER YOUTH AND THREE CAMPUSES
ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF HIRING.
ALSO SEVEN CAMPUSES I'D HAVE
IDENTIFIED PERMANENT SPACE FOR
CENTER ON CAMPUS AND THREE ARE
STILL WORKING ON ESTABLISHING A
PERMANENT CENTER. THE OTHER
STUDENTS SERVICES INVESTMENTS IN
YOUR AGENDA IS THE UNDERGROUND
SCHOLARS PROGRAM. THIS
INVESTMENT IS TO PROVIDE
SERVICES FOR PREVIOUSLY
INCARCERATED OR CARCERAL SYSTEM
IMPACTED STUDENTS. FOR THIS OF
FOUR MILLION DOLLAR INVESTMENT
ALL NINE UNDERGRADUATE UC
CAMPUSES RECEIVED STATE FUNDING
TO SUPPORT IMPLEMENTATION OR
EXPANSION OF AN UNDERGROUND
SCHOLARS PROGRAM. WITH A BASE
ALLOCATION OF TWO HUNDRED FIFTY
THOUSAND PER CAMPUS. AND
ADDITIONAL EQUITY BASED FUNDING.
ALLOCATED BASED ON THE NUMBER
PERCENTAGE OF UNDERGRADUATE AT
EACH INSTITUTION- TWO DAYS SEVEN
CAMPUSES HAVE OPERATIONAL
UNDERGROUND SCHOLARS PROGRAMS
THESE PROGRAMS WERE IN PLACE
PRIOR TO THE ALLOCATION OF STATE
FUNDING. BUT NOW THEY'RE
PERMANENT- AND FEW CAMPUSES ARE
IN THE PROCESS OF ESTABLISHING
KERR PROGRAMS. FOR PROGRAMS HAVE
HIRED FULL TIME EMPLOYEES THE
NEW S. PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN ABLE
TO IDENTIFY PHYSICAL SPACE ON
THEIR CAMPUSES AND BEGIN THE
PROCESS OF HIRING THEIR FIRST
FULL TIME STAFF MEMBERS. TO
CAMPUS ALSO DEVELOPED AN CONVENE
ADVISORY BOARD COMPRISED OF
PARTNERS IN ACADEMIC ADVISING
BASIC NEEDS HOUSING RESOURCES
AND FINANCIAL AID AND
SCHOLARSHIPS. A RESURGENT AND
FIRST GENERATION SUPPORT. OF A
SAMPLE OF ACTIVITIES TO DATE
INCLUDE DISBURSEMENT OF BASIC
NEEDS GIFT CARDS FOR GROCERIES
AND GAS WORKSHOPS ON FINANCIAL
WELLNESS MENTAL HEALTH AND
CAREER READINESS. PARTNERING
WITH COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND HIGH
SCHOOLS TO HOST INFORMATIONAL
SESSIONS. OF SOME USE RESOURCES
FOR CONFERENCE ATTENDANCE FOR
STUDENTS OUR STUDENTS STAFF AND
STAFF TO LEARN ABOUT EQUITY
MINDED WAYS TO SUPPORT CARCERAL
IMPACTED STUDENT SUCCESS. AND
AGAIN I WANT TO THANK THE
LEGISLATURE FORTY STUDENT
SERVICES FUNDS THAT I'M
AVAILABLE FOR YOUR QUESTION
THANK YOU AND I THINK CENTER
SMALLWOOD CUEVAS HAD A QUESTION
ABOUT I JUST WANTED TO I JUST
WANT TO CHECK IN- ON THE YOU
MENTIONED THE ONGOING FUNDING
CAN YOU SAY MORE ABOUT THAT
PARTICULAR THOSE CAMPUSES THAT
HAVE STAFF AND ARE STARTING TO
MOVE PROGRAM. YES IN THE CURRENT
YEAR THE LEGISLATURE PROVIDED
SIX MILLION DOLLARS ON GOING
SPECIFICALLY TARGETED AT FOSTER
YOUTH PROGRAMS- OUR CAMPUSES HAD
HAD OF FOSTER YOUTH PROGRAMS
PAID FOR WITH SOMETIMES GRANT
FUNDS THEY WERE TEMPORARY FUNDS
SOME DONATIONS. BUT THEY HAD NOT
HAD DEDICATED STAFF FOR THIS
PURPOSE THE LEGISLATURE ALSO
PROVIDED THE UNIVERSITY WITH
FOUR MILLION IN ONGOING
PERMANENT FUNDS. TO SERVE
UNDERGROUND SCHOLARS OR CARCERAL
SYSTEM IMPACTED STUDENTS- IN
THAT CATEGORY WE HAD HAD SOME
CAMPUSES THAT HAD STARTED. A
SMALL PROGRAMS UC BERKELEY HAD
PREVIOUSLY RECEIVED OF A ONE
TIME ALLOCATION FROM THE
LEGISLATURE TO INITIATE A
PROGRAM. BUT THESE PROGRAMS DID
NOT HAVE PERMANENT ONGOING
FUNDING- AND WHAT THAT WHAT THE
LACK OF PERMANENT FUNDING DOES
IS THEY HAVE TROUBLE RETAINING
STAFF. BECAUSE THEY CAN ONLY
HIRE SOMEBODY ON A ONE YEAR
CONTRACT OR TWO YEAR CONTRACT.
OF BY HAVING THE PERMANENT
FUNDING THEY CAN HAVE A STAFF
MEMBER WHO WILL STAY FOR YEARS A
KNOWING THAT THEY HEART THAT
HAVE EMPLOYMENT GUARANTEED. AND
THAT STAFF MEMBER CONTENT TO
BUILD UP THE KNOWLEDGE TO REALLY
SERVE THE POPULATION OF THAT
CAMPUS. AND JUST TO CLARIFY WHAT
DO YOU ALL HAVE A SENSE OF WHAT
THAT COSTS AND NOT JUST FOR UC
BERKELEY BUT ACROSS TERMS OF THE
PLAN FOR THE UNDERGROUND
SCHOLARS THAT THAT EACH CAMPUS
IS PRESENTED IN TERMS OF. WHAT
IS THE ACTUAL DOLLAR AMOUNT THE
UC'S NEED TO ENSURE THAT THOSE
PROGRAMS HAVE CAPACITY AND CAN.
CONTINUE AND NOT BE IN THAT
SITUATION OF NOT KNOWING YOU
KNOW BEYOND THE ONE YEAR IF THEY
WILL CONTINUE. AT THIS POINT THE
FOUR MILLION FOR UNDERGROUND
SCHOLARS WILL CONTINUE IN THE
SIX MILLION FORTY FOSTER YOU
WILL CONTINUE IN TERMS OF WHAT
IS THE REAL NEED ULTIMATELY. ON
UNDERGROUND SCHOLARS WE DON'T
YET KNOW BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A
STUDENT TRACKER FOR FORMERLY
INCARCERATED. STUDENTS SO WE
WILL WE NEED TO S. THESE. AND
HAVE THE NON OF THEM- GET OUT TO
THE STUDENT POPULATION SO WE CAN
START COLLECTING NUMBERS OF
STUDENTS WHO DESIRE TO BE SERVED
THROUGH DOT CENTER. OF FOR
FORMER FOSTER YOUTH THERE IS A
BOX- OF THE CONTRACT ON
FINANCIAL AID. BECAUSE THE
UNIVERSITY DOES HAVE A PROGRAM
THAT OF SOMEONE SPENT TIME AS A
TEENAGER IN FOSTER CARE- WE
WAIVE THEIR TUITION AND FULL SO
WE ASKED THEM IF THEY WERE A
FOSTER YOUTH- AND THAT'S WHY WE
HAVE SOME FOSTER YOUTH NUMBERS
FOR THE CAMPUSES. SO WE DO HAVE
AN UNDERSTANDING WE HAVE ABOUT
EIGHTEEN HUNDRED FORMER FOSTER
YOUTH IN OUR SYSTEM. OF WHETHER
OR NOT THE SIX BILLION WILL BE
SUFFICIENT TO SERVE THEM AND ALL
THEIR NEEDS REMAINS TO BE SEEN
AS WE- GAIN A GREATER
UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THIS
POPULATION NEEDS IN ORDER TO BE
ABLE TO SUCCEED. N. AS WE INTEND
TO GATHER INFORMATION ABOUT THE
SERVICES THEY REQUEST AND HOW WE
ARE SERVING THEM. AND THEN
REEVALUATE IN THREE YEARS HOW
DOES FUNDS OUGHT TO BE BALANCED
BETWEEN OUR CAMPUSES IN THE FOR
THE GREATEST EQUITY. AND WHETHER

OVERSIGHT. ITEMS WE'RE GONNA
MOVE TOWARD LAST ISSUE OF THE
DAY ISSUE FOR THE GOVERNOR'S
PROPOSAL FOR THE STATE LIBRARY
WE HAVE JENNIFER LOUIS. FROM THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE INCLINED
FROM THE LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S
OFFICE. AND GREG LUCAS THE
CALIFORNIA STATE LIBRARIAN. AND
WE ARE GOING TO TAKE PEOPLE IN
THAT ORDER. SO WE'RE GOING TO
BEGIN WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE GO TO THE LEGISLATIVE
ANALYST'S OFFICE. AND GOES TO
THE STATE LIBRARY AND WELCOME
ALL OF YOU TO THE COMMITTEE.
NOON MISTER TERRY MEMBERS-
JENNIFER LOUIS WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE THE STATE
LIBRARY'S AUGMENTATIONS FOR THE
GUEST GOVERNOR'S BADGER
CONTINUATION OF THE
MINISTRATIONS ACT. EMPHASIS ON
ACCESS EQUITY AND INNOVATION.
THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET INCLUDES
THE FOLLOWING FOR PROPOSALS FOUR
HUNDRED SIXTY TWO THOUSAND
DOLLARS AN ONGOING GENERAL FUND
TO SUPPORT EXPAND THE WHICH CAN
STATE. LAW LIBRARY FOR PERSONAL
SUPPORT AND OPERATIONS. AND THE
SECOND A PROPOSAL IS A GENERAL
FUND INCREASE OF FIVE HUNDRED
NINETY SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS.
OF WHICH THREE HUNDRED FIFTY
SEVEN THOUSAND IS ON GOING AND
TWO HUNDRED FORTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS IS ONE TIME RESPECTIVELY
TO EXPAND THE CALIFORNIA HISTORY
ROOM SPECIAL COLLECTIONS AND
PERSONAL SUPPORT THE THIRD
PROPOSAL IS A HUNDRED SIXTY
EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS ON GOING
GENERAL FUND TO SUPPORT THE
STATE LIBRARY AUDIT PROGRAM. AND
LASTLY A ONE HUNDRED MILLION A
ONE TIME GENERAL FUND SHIFT A
FROM THE TWENTY TWENTY BUDGET
OUT TO THE LOCAL LIBRARY
INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM THAT
SHALL BE REALLOCATED OVER A
THREE YEAR PERIOD WITH THIRTY
THREE MILLION A ONE TIME.
GENERAL FUND IN TWENTY FOUR
TWENTY FIVE AND ANOTHER WITH
THIRTY THREE MILLION ONE TIME
GENERAL FUND IN TWENTY FIVE
TWENTY SIX. AND THIRTY FOUR
MILLION FOR THE THIRTY YEAR IN
TWENTY SIX TWENTY SEVEN WITH
THAT I SHALL CONCLUDE MY
PRESENTATION AND BILLABLE FOR
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS THANK YOU
VERY MUCH OF LEGISLATIVE BATTLES
. INCLINE WITH THE L. A. L. OUR
COMMENTS ON THE WEEKENDS LAW
LIBRARY BEGIN ON PAGE THIRTY
FIVE OF YOUR AGENDA. WE
RECOMMEND THE LEGISLATURE REJECT
THIS PROPOSAL- THERE'S NO CLEAR
JUSTIFICATION FOR REPLACING
SPECIAL FUNDS SUPPORT WITH
GENERAL FUND SUPPORT. FOR THE
MORE WHILE THE WORKLOAD HAS
INCREASED FOR THE LAW LIBRARY
REMAINS IN LINE WHICH UP TO
EXPECTATIONS. THE STAFF HOURS
SPENT ON RESEARCH HAVE INCREASED
THE AVERAGE SHARE OF TIME EACH
LIBRARIAN SPENDS ON RESEARCH
REMAINS BELOW 40% WHICH IS THE
TARGET LEVEL. OF SPECIFIED BY
THE STATE- LIBRARY. LIBRARIAN
JOB DUTY STATEMENT. HOWEVER WE
RECOMMEND THAT THE LEGISLATURE
CONSIDER INCREASING THE SHARE OF
THE CIVIL APPELLATE FILING FEE
THAT IS DEPOSITED INTO THE STATE
LAW LIBRARY SPECIAL FUND. THE
AMOUNT OF CIVIL APPELLATE FILING
FEES DEPOSITED INTO THIS FUND IS
UP FOR RE AUTHORIZATION IN
TWENTY TWENTY FIVE. AT THE LAW
LIBRARY HAS NOT HAD AN INCREASE
IN THE SET ASIDE RATE IN MORE
THAN TWO DECADES. MOVING TO THE
CALIFORNIA HISTORY ROOM OUR
COMMENTS THERE RUN FROM PAGES
THIRTY FIVE AND THIRTY SIX. WE
ALSO RECOMMEND THAT THE
LEGISLATURE REJECT THIS PROPOSAL
AND REVISIT WHEN THE STATE'S
BUDGET CONDITION IMPROVES. WE DO
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE ARE
SHORTCOMINGS IN THE SPECIAL
COLLECTIONS PORTFOLIO. AS WELL
AS IDENTIFIED THAT THE WORKLOAD
FOR THE CALIFORNIA HISTORY- HAS
FLUCTUATED RECENTLY BOTH IN
TERMS OF REQUEST RECEIVED AN
HOUR SPENT ON RESEARCH HOWEVER
THE CURRENT YEAR'S DATA IS MORE
IN LINE WITH LEVELS THAT WERE
SEEN PRE PANDEMIC. ADDITIONALLY
OTHER FUNDING SOURCES EXIST FOR
SPECIAL COLLECTIONS ACQUISITIONS
SUCH AS FEDERAL FUNDING AND
FOUNDATION FUNDING. WHEN THE
BUDGET CONDITION IMPROVES THE
LEGISLATURE COULD POTENTIAL
COULD CONSIDER POTENTIALLY
FUNDING A SENIOR LIBRARIAN TO
WORK ON OUT REACHING COLLECTIONS
. AS SUCH WE RECOMMEND THE
LEGISLATURE CONTINUE TO MONITOR
LIBRARIAN WORKLOAD. WHEN FISCAL
CONDITIONS IMPROVE ONE TIME
FUNDING COULD BE PROVIDED FOR
COLLECTIONS BUT UNTIL WE- BUT
UNTIL THEN WE RECOMMEND THE
HISTORY ROOM UTILIZED NON
GENERAL FUND SOURCES FOR
PURCHASES AND ACQUISITIONS. WITH
RESPECT TO THE AUDIT PROGRAM ARE
COMMON CAN BE FOUND ON PAGES
THIRTY FIVE THIRTY SIX AND
THIRTY SEVEN OF YOUR AGENDA. A
STATE LAW REQUIRES THAT AGENCIES
HAVE INTERNAL CONTROLS AND THE
STATE LIBRARY CURRENTLY UTILIZES
ITS EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT.
MANAGEMENT TEAM TO COMPLETE THIS
FUNCTION. ADDITIONALLY STATE LAW
IDENTIFIES THAT AGENCIES WITH AN
ONGOING BUDGET OF GREATER THAN
FIFTY MILLION SHOULD CONSIDER
ESTABLISHING AN ONGOING AUDIT
PROGRAM AND THIS PROPOSAL WOULD
ACCOMPLISH THAT. HOWEVER A
STRONG CASE HAS NOT BEEN MADE
FOR THIS PROPOSAL THE STATE
LIBRARY IS ONE MILLION DOLLARS
OVER THE FIFTY MILLION DOLLAR
THRESHOLD AT WHICH AN AGENCY IS
TO CONSIDER ESTABLISHING AN
ONGOING AUDIT PROGRAM. OF THIS
AMOUNT LESS THAN TWENTY FIVE
MILLION IS ASSOCIATED WITH
ONGOING GENERAL FUND SUPPORT FOR
LOCAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. NEW
ONGOING POSITIONS MAY NOT BE
NECESSARY FOR IN THE LONG RUN AS
MUCH OF THE RECENT LARGE
INCREASE IN GENERAL FUND.
SUPPORT FOR LOCAL ASSISTANCE
PROGRAMS FOR ONE TIME
INITIATIVES WITH FUNDS THAT MUST
BE EXPENDED BY THE END OF THE UP
COMING FISCAL YEAR. AT THE STATE
LIBRARY HAS ALSO RECENTLY SEEN
AN INCREASE IN STAFF OVER THE
PAST FIVE YEARS WITH TWENTY F.
T. E. ADDED IN THE TWENTY ONE
TWENTY TWO BUDGET ACT IN
SEVENTEEN AND A HALF ADDED IN
THE TWENTY TO TWENTY THREE
BUDGET ACT. SO PERHAPS
REDESIGNATING EXISTING PERSONNEL
WOULD ACCOMPLISH THE SAME END.
SO WE- PROVIDE TWO
RECOMMENDATIONS THE LEGISLATURE
COULD OUTRIGHT REJECT THE
PROPOSAL. AND THE STATE LIBRARY
WOULD CONTINUE RELYING ON THE
EXECS EXISTING STAFF TO CONDUCT
THEIR AUDIT FUNCTIONS. AS TO
DATE NO INSTANCES OF FRAUD HAVE
BEEN IDENTIFIED. A SECOND OPTION
WOULD BE TO CONVERT THE
REQUESTED POSITION TO A TERM
LIMIT POSITION THAT WOULD FOCUS
ON ENSURING. THAT THE LOCAL
LIBRARY INFRASTRUCTURE GRANTS
ARE USED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
STATE INTENT. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH. IT AND NOW. WE
WILL GO TO THE STATE LIBRARIAN
WHO'S JUST BEEN WAITING FOR A
VERY LONG TIME TO HAVE THIS WAS
A TERRIFIC THE GREAT LOCUSTS
STATE LIBRARY OF SUCH TERRIFIC
CARE IN THIS MORNING I LEARNED A
LOT. ABOUT YOU SEE. YOU SEE
WHICH HAS A STUDY THAT SAYS
THERE'S TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY
LANGUAGES AND DIALECTS SPOKEN IN
THE STATE. WHICH IS JUST SORT OF
MIND BLOWING TO ME AND THE MORE
THE STATE LIBRARY THE SERVER
HUNTING TO SAY THAT AT LEAST TEN
OF THEM ARE SPOKEN BY EITHER THE
LA OVER THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE PROGRAM. MAY I REALLY
HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD TO WHAT THE
L. A. O. OR THE- DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE IS THAT ALWAYS I CAN
ANSWER QUESTIONS IF YOU WANT.
OKAY MISTER JR I REALLY
APPRECIATE THAT AND- THANK YOU
FOR THE TWO AGENCIES JUST
BEARING WITH THAT LAST COMMENT.
FROM I THINK THAT IS THAT SOME
GENERAL THINGS TO STATES AND ONE
QUESTION FOR THE LIBRARIAN AND
THAT IS THAT THE- OF. THE. THE
GRANT PROGRAM FOR LIBRARY
INFRASTRUCTURE HAS JUST PROVED
TO BE OVERWHELMINGLY POPULAR.
AND UTILIZED AND I KNOW THAT IT
IS A SMALL AMOUNT OF THE
REMAINING AMOUNT THAT IS
PROPOSED. TO BE DEFERRED. UP ARE
THEIR APPLICATIONS THAT. ARE NOT
BEING FUNDED NOW THAT THE LAST
REMAINING TRANCHES OF THIS WOULD
GO TO WAR WOULD OPEN UP FOR
ADDITIONAL APPLICATIONS ABOVE
WHAT'S ALREADY GOING OUT THE
DOOR. IN BRIEF THE BUILDING FOR
GRANT PROGRAM THE GOVERNOR AND
THE LEGISLATURE PUT IN FOUR
HUNDRED AND EIGHTY NINE MILLION
DOLLARS. WE MADE A CONSCIOUS
DECISION LAST YEAR TO WHEN WE
OPENED UP FOR APPLICATIONS TO
NOT SPEND THE ENTIRETY OF THE
MONEY BECAUSE OF THE STRUCTURE
OF THE PROGRAM. WHICH SAYS WE
ARE SUPPOSED TO CONCENTRATE ON
THE LEAST RESOURCE THE MOST DIRE
CONDITIONS IN THE LEAST RESOURCE
COMMUNITIES. AND SO TELL ME WHAT
YOU KNOW ALREADY BUT IN MANY
CASES THOSE THE VERY ENTITIES
RIGHT THAT CAN. YOU KNOW PULLED
TOGETHER IN THE TIME FOR A ONE
SORT TO GET AN APPLICATION
TOGETHER RIGHT IN A SHORT PERIOD
OF DELAY ACTUALLY WORKS TO THEIR
BENEFIT BECAUSE THEY CAN GET.
UNDERLYING THINGS TOGETHER WHAT
WHAT PRECISE- WE DON'T LIKE TO
DELAY ALL RIGHT SO THE CAPACITY
LET'S SAY OF. MODOC COUNTY
RIGHT- PULL TOGETHER A PROJECT
AND GET IT TOGETHER IS
SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN SAY L.
A. COUNTY. KANSAS BUT AT ANY
RATE THERE'S AND CONVERSELY THEY
PROBABLY WANT LESS MONEY AND
MODOC COM. THAT'S A THAT'S TRUE
LESS LIBRARIES RIGHT SO THERE'S
A HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FIVE
MILLION AVAILABLE NOW FOR THIS
YEAR. THE APPLICATION PROCESS IS
OPEN IT CLOSES ON MAY TWELFTH OR
MAY EIGHTEENTH WE SENT OUT A
LETTER OF WE SENT OUT A-
COMMUNICATION TO LIBRARIES
SAYING. DO YOU INTEND TO APPLY.
AND SO THE RESPONSE WE GOT BACK
I FORGET HOW MANY RESPONSES WE
GOT BACK BUT THE TOTAL. THAT WE
EXPECT IN REQUESTS FOR THIS
HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FIVE MILLION
THAT REMAINS. IS SOMEWHERE
BETWEEN SIX HUNDRED MILLION IN A
BILLION DOLLARS. ALL THE
ESTIMATES AND STUDIES OVER THE
PAST THREE YEARS SHOW ABOUT A
FIVE BILLION DOLLAR NEED
STATEWIDE. YOU KNOW TO MAKE THE
RENOVATIONS MODERNISATIONS OR
REPLACEMENT OF THE STATE'S.
ELEVEN HUNDRED AND TWENTY SEVEN
LEIBER'S. THE ALSO DID IT AGAIN
AND TELL ME WHICH ALREADY BUT
THERE'S A- MATCH THREE. SO THE
DOLLARS THAT THE STATE PUT IN
THE IN ESSENCE GET DOUBLED BY
THE- INVEST WHERE LOCALS ARE
VIRTUALLY OUT OF TIME SO I DON'T
WANT TO DWELL ON THIS BUT ONE OF
THE QUESTIONS OVER TIME I'VE HAD
IS WHETHER THE MATCH REQUIREMENT
PUSHES SOME PEOPLE OUT THERE.
MIGHT BE THE ONES THAT ARE THE
MOST UNDERSERVED PEOPLE- WELL
THAT WAS A CONCERN THAT THAT-
THE LEGISLATURE IT AND THE
ADMINISTRATION EXPRESSED AND SO
THAT. SOME OF THOSE MATCH
REQUIREMENTS HAVE BEEN CHANGED
TO A DRESS THAT VERY ISSUE
YOU'RE DESCRIBING MORE THAN MY
OTHER QUESTION IS. WHAT WITHOUT
GETTING TOO SPECIFIC THERE'VE
BEEN SOME ORGANIZATIONS THAT
HAVE RUN INTO FISCAL PROBLEMS
THAT HAVE HOLDINGS. BETTER
RESEARCH HOLDINGS OR COLLECTIONS
THAT ARE VERY CONSISTENT WITH
DISTRICT THE STATE LIBRARY'S
FUNCTIONS. IF SOME LONG TERM
ORGANIZATION IN THE STATE IS
SORT OF GOING UNDER AND WANTS TO
PARTNER WITH THE STATE LIBRARY.
ONE CAPABILITY DO YOU HAVE TO DO
THAT AND DO YOU NEED
APPROPRIATIONS TO TAKE THOSE
KINDS OF THINGS IF IT TURNS OUT.
THERE SOMETHING LIKE THAT
PRESENTS ITSELF. D. WELL YES IS
SORT OF THE SHORT ANSWER- I MEAN
IT VARIES ON WHAT THE SPECIFICS
ARE OF THAT- I MEAN THERE'S A
STORAGE IS BECOMING AN ISSUE NOW
NOT JUST FOR US BUT FOR THE
STATE ARCHIVES AND OTHER STATE
AGENCIES. AND WE'VE HAD SOME
CONVERSATIONS WITH FINANCE ABOUT
FIGURING OUT SOME SORT OF A LONG
TERM WAY TO ADDRESS THAT. BUT
SOME. HE YOU KNOW TAKING AT
ADDING THINGS TO THE STATE'S
COLLECTIONS. IS THERE'S NOT A
COST TO DO THAT PER SE. BUT
THERE IS TO SHARE WHATEVER OF
THOSE COLLECTIONS ARE RIGHT TO
DIGITIZE IN THE PUT THEM ONLINE
TO PUT THEM INTO THE CATALOG ALL
THE THINGS THAT THE LIBRARIES
DO. I THINK THAT THE THING IS
I'M JUST NOT WILLING TO SHARE
THE ONE THAT I'M AWARE OF I
DON'T THINK IT'S MY ROLE TO DO
THAT. BUT IT'S ONE OF THOSE
THINGS THAT REQUIRE SOME KIND OF
COMMITMENT AND PROBABLY REQUIRE
SOME FINANCIAL SUPPORT. AND IT
IS AMAZING BECAUSE IT'S A
COLLECTION OF. A VERY LONG
PERIOD OF TIME THAT'S VERY
INNATE TO CALIFORNIA AND I THINK
THAT THAT'S SOMETHING I'D BE
TOTALLY INTERESTED IN DOING BUT-
BOB I DON'T THINK SOMETIMES WERE
QUIPPED IN THE MID YEARS
SOMEBODY COME UP WITH THAT. AND
ALL OF A SUDDEN BE ABLE TO TURN
ON A DIME AND YET. YOU KNOW YOU
DON'T WANT THOSE COLLECTIONS
DISPERSED WHAT A LOST WEEK- OR
SOME OF THE THINGS THAT HAVE
BEEN HISTORIC SO. I'M JUST
RAISING THE ISSUE SO WITHOUT
NAMING ANYBODY PEOPLE JUST KNOW
THAT THERE'S ISSUES LIKE THAT
FLOATING OUT YEAH MAN I'M ALWAYS
HAPPY TO TALK. TO YOU MORE ABOUT
IT AND- ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
IMPRESSES ME ABOUT THE TEAM OF
THE STATE LIBRARY IS- WE'RE-
FLEXIBLE AND CAN MOVE PRETTY
QUICKLY. AND ON A PERSONAL LEVEL
I LOVE ALL YOUR GENEALOGY WORK.
IT'S NOT ENOUGH SOMETIMES I
DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO
DO BETTER. YEAH- YES MY
COLLEAGUES IF THE QUESTION. WANT
ONE BRIEF QUESTION ON THE SHORT
. OF THE SPECIAL COLLECTION IN
CALIFORNIA'S HISTORY ROOM. AND.
THIS INCREASE- A FIVE HUNDRED
AND NINE SAID- THOUSAND DOLLAR-
THE- TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE
NEEDS THERE. WHAT IS THE SENSE
OF INVESTMENT OR- A
PRIORITIZATION OF DEALING WITH
THE SHORTCOMINGS WHICH BASICALLY
SAYS THAT A LOT OF
UNDERREPRESENTED MARGINALIZED
COMMUNITIES ARE NOT REPRESENTED
IN THE- CALIFORNIA HISTORY ROOM
AND- IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND
THESE ARTIFACTS. HOW WILL THIS
BE PRIORITIZED IN THE- PROPOSED-
INCREASE FUNDING THANK YOU FOR
YOUR QUESTION- THERE'S A VARIETY
OF DIFFERENT WAYS I MEAN THE
STRAW THE BIGGEST PRIORITY FOR
US IS TO BE REFLECTIVE OF
CALIFORNIA'S UNIQUE DIVERSITY
AND THERE'S ELEMENTS WITHIN OUR
COLLECTIONS THAT SIMPLY HAVEN'T
BEEN. THE SAME IS BADLY BUT PUT
TO THE FRONT OF THE DIGITIZATION
LINE OR THERE'S BOXES THAT
HAVEN'T BEEN OPENED AND EXAMINED
THAT ARE TERRIFIC COLLECTIONS
AND THEN WE'RE NOW PRIORITIZING
THAT SO. I MEAN IT'S MORE HAVING
THE CAPACITY TO DO THAT AND THEN
THE SORT OF A HIDDEN ASPECT TO
IT WHICH IS THERE'S A NAME FOR
IT I'M AND I FORGIVE ME I FORGOT
THAT BUT- IT'S LIKE GOING TO OUR
CATALOG AND MAKE SURE MAKING
SURE THAT HOW THINGS HAVE BEEN
NAMED IN THE PAST. ARE CHANGED
TO REFLECT THAT WE NAME THINGS
IN THE TWENTY FIRST CENTURY. SO
WE HAVE A LOT OF ISSUES WITH FOR
EXAMPLE- NATIVE CALIFORNIAN
NATIVE AMERICAN. ARTIFACTS IN
THE COLLECTION. IN IS THERE SORT
OF AND WHEN YOU SAY YOU'RE
PRIORITIZE A ARE YOU GOING TO
HIRE A STAFF PERSON TO. DO THAT
THAT'S THE ONGOING THAT'S THE
ONGOING ASPECT OF IT THAT IT
WILL BE ONE PERSON DEDICATED TO
THE SHORTCOMINGS I THINK IT'S
ONE AND A HALF IN THE- BUMMER
ABOUT BEING HALF PERSON BUT KIDS
. UNEARTHLY WITH DEPARTMENT
FINANCE SO PART OF GOV BUDGET
PROPOSAL INCLUDES PIECE. REVIEWS
ACTIVITIES YES THANK YOU FOR
THAT THANK YOU US SENATOR MAY
EVEN BETTER. SENATE REMAINS GOOD
SO LET'S NOT TAKE THE- LENGTH OF
THIS DISCUSSION IS IN A

INTERESTED IN THE GRANT PROGRAM

IN MY FIRST YEAR UC DAVIS AND A
PROFESSOR THREATEN TO TAKE 30%
OFF MY EXAM GRADE AND SETTLE FOR
FIFTEEN PERCENT. DESPITE
RECEIVING A DOCTOR'S NOTE AND
SENT FOR SENATE CIRCUMSTANCES.
I'VE GIVEN UP ON USE MY

FORGET TO SEND IMPORTANT
FORMULAS SHE'S NEEDED TO TAKE
THE EXAM AND EVENTUALLY GETTING
IT HALF WAY THROUGH THE TEST. IS
ONLY A SERVICE WAS STUDENTS HAVE
TO PUT UP WITH. AND I CAN HOPE
THAT IN THE NEXT THREE YEARS.

INCONVENIENCE IS THAT AFTER.
DOING DOOR AND IT'S NOTHING

TWENTY. AMERICA HAVING. TYPE OF
DISABILITY. AS WELL DESPITE
INCREASES IN THE NUMBER OF

ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR DISABLED
STUDENT PROGRAMS ACROSS YOU SEE.
VALUE IF YOU CAN BEGIN TO WRAP
UP YES. BY ALLOCATING ADDITIONAL
DISABILITY FUNDS. WE CAN ENSURE
THAT STUDENTS HAVE EQUAL
OPPORTUNITIES TO SUCCEED. AND
PROVIDE TRAINING TO STAFF AND
FACULTY TO ENSURE THAT THEY
UNDERSTAND DISABILITY IN PREVENT
WHAT HAPPENED. THANK YOU THANK

PERSONAL STORY WE REALLY

STEPHANIE IS A GRADUATE
RESEARCHER IN TEACHING ASSISTANT
IN BIOMEDICAL SCIENCES AT UCSF.
A MEMBER OF YOUR W. TWO X. X.
FIVE. ACROSS THE STATE YOU SEE
HAS CONSISTENTLY FAILED TO HONOR
ITS OBLIGATIONS TO WORKERS THAT
THE RATIFICATION OF A NEW
CONTRACT. YOU SEE SAYS BUT NO
ONE IS LOSING THEIR JOBS OVER
THE INCREASES IN COMPENSATION
AND BENEFITS THEY AGREED TO BUT
THIS IS NOT TRUE. AT UCSF
PROGRAMS HAVE CONTINUED TO
REFUSE TO COMPENSATE HIM
ASSISTANCE FOR THEIR LABOR.
CITING THAT A REQUIREMENT TO
TEACH FOR A QUARTER IN ADDITION
FOR RESEARCH IS AN ACADEMIC
OPPORTUNITY. OUR RESEARCH IS
ALSO AN ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY BUT
IS COMPENSATED WHY SHOULD YOU
CAN BE DIFFERENT. WE ASK YOU TO
HOLD PRESIDENT JACOB AND THE UC
ACCOUNTABLE TO ITS COMMITMENTS
TO COMPENSATE WORKERS AND STUFF
THE CUTTING OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR
STUDENTS. STUDENTS BECAUSE ALL
CAPS IN THE DEPARTMENTS DESERVE
TO SEE THIS CONTRACT AS MUCH A
FAIRLY. THANK YOU. THANK. YOU

TWO EIGHT SIX FIVE. AT THE UC
BARGAINS ARE CONTRACTS CENTRALLY

CUTTING T. POSITIONS. INCLUDING

FOR ALL OF OVER THREE HUNDRED
PERSON. PLUS THREE HUNDRED PLUS
STUDENT INTRODUCTORY COURSES AND
NO LONGER OFFERING POSITIONS TO

THEIR FIFTH YEAR IN THE PROGRAM.
THIS WILL AFFECT ME PERSONALLY
AS I AM HAVING TO ENROLL FOR A
SIXTY YEAR TO COMPLETE MY
DISSERTATION. AND DO NOT EXPECT

MY DEPARTMENT. T. POSITIONS ARE
AN IMPORTANT SOURCE OF INCOME
FOR GRAD STUDENT SO IN ADDITION
TO COMPLETING MY RESEARCH AND
APPLYING FOR POSTDOCTORAL
POSITIONS. I WILL HAVE TO HUSTLE
EVERY QUARTER TO MAKE ENDS MEET.
POLICIES LIKE THIS WILL FURTHER
EXACERBATE THE INACCESSIBILITY
OF GRADUATE SCHOOL FOR PEOPLE
FROM MARGINALIZED BACKGROUNDS.
AND FOR STUDENTS WHO FACE
MEDICAL AND OTHER EMERGENCIES TO
DROP OUT. AS A PUBLIC UNIVERSITY
THE UC IS MEANT TO BE ACCESSIBLE
TO ALL AND TO BENEFIT ALL. WE'RE
