Yet more budget cuts may be coming.. assuming the University gets any money at all. The grimmest news is at least $80 million in additional cuts to UC, with possible cuts up to $300 million if certain Republicans get their way.
Already, both houses of the Legislature have agreed on $80 million in additional cuts to UC, and there are Republican proposals to cut several hundred million dollars more from the University.This is all assuming that the State decides on a budget before UC employees stop getting paid. The decision to be made is triage-- cutting enrollment, raising fees, or cutting educational quality. Students would naturally favor the first one. Heck, cutting enrollment actually works great for us-- makes the University more selective, raising its overall IQ. President Atkinson is leaning towards that one. Here's the fees scenario. To close the rest of the gap, mandatory systemwide student fees would be increased 25 percent above the current fee level, which reflects the $405 annualized increase that was adopted beginning with the spring 2003 term. For resident undergraduates, the additional 25 percent would raise fees $960, or $165 more than the $795 increase that was assumed in the Governor’s Budget. Mandatory systemwide fees for resident undergraduates would total $4,794 per year. Graduate and professional school fees also would be raised 25 percent.Email This Post! |
