11 Points From UCSB Chairs

Received July 10

The chairs present at the meeting (Economics, English, Feminist Studies, French/Italian, History, and Law & Society) presented 11 points expressing a broad (though not necessarily unanimous) consensus among the chairs. Some of these points were developed by the chairs in caucus earlier in the day after reading the proposal that President Yudoff announced in the morning. The points include both those intended to be passed along to the Regents' meeting next week and those concerning implementation and contingency planning on our own campus:

1. We continue to ask that the Regents defer a decision on payrolls/furloughs until more study and consultation can occur.

2. We continue to think that there is no legitimate basis for the declaration of a fiscal state of emergency accompanied by emergency powers for the UC President.
