Legislature
adopts budget making deep cuts in UC
The 2003-04 state budget adopted by the California Legislature will lead
to deep cuts in non-instructional programs at the University of California,
a 30 percent student fee increase, the UC systems first instance
of borrowing to cover regular operations since the early 1990s, and a
one-year delay in the opening of UC Merced. The budget also provides no
state funding for salary increases for faculty and staff.. "This
is very serious news and a challenge to our future aspirations,"
said UCSC Chancellor M.R.C. Greenwood. More
Meeting earlier, the UC Board of Regents had voted
to increase fees 25 percent, and granted UC President Atkinson the
authority to implement an additional 5 percent fee increase if necessary.
The Regents also:
Approved
a ban on romantic relationships between faculty and students.
Approved
changes to admissions test policy
Adopted
a landmark "green" building policy and clean energy standard
Discussed
the possible acquisition of the Monterey Institute of International Relations
