Opposition to UC Pay Cuts

More material is emerging from the UC faculty. There are new links above to UCSD Senate statements both opposing all three pay cut/furlough options coming from the Office of the President, and proposing "budgetary autonomy" for UCSD from UCOP - a kind of call to secede.

Succession and breaking up has elitist motives too - see UCSD's other contribution in which it christens itself a flagship deserving of more state resources per student - which by the way it, like all the other medical campuses, already gets. But the Senate letter raises the crucial issue of why we have UCOP when it is becoming all authority and no service. The campuses put up with UCOP when it held the system together, promoted equity and unity, and actually succeeded at getting UC the resources it needed to deliver the quality people expected.
