\/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\nFebruary 8, 2020\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nDear Chancellor Larive and iCPEVC Kletzer:\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nWe, the undersigned faculty members, are writing to express our unequivocal opposition to the practices and principles underlying the “Notification of Class and Section Disruption” Google form accessible through the notify the campus hotlink in the February 7, 2020, Public Affairs communication titled “Unsanctioned strike by some graduate students” (pasted below).\u0026nbsp; In addition to concerns about academic freedom, we are extremely alarmed by the culture of surveillance and reporting encouraged and facilitated by such an approach.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nAs you are well aware, the foundation of any research university is the creation and free exchange of knowledge, principles reflected in the tenure system and, in the University of California, through guarantees of academic freedom (APM 010). Additionally, the University of California has sought to reiterate these principles with the recent creation of a National Center for Free Speech and Civic Engagement. The free exchange of knowledge—the very cornerstone of the university—is compromised when everyone in our community is encouraged to survey and report on conversations occurring in the course of instruction. Indeed, we all—Senate faculty, lecturers, graduate student instructors, TAs, and students—work tremendously hard and conscientiously to create learning environments in which everyone can speak freely to discuss a wealth of subjects and to address a range of different perspectives. This is an increasingly challenging task in a social\/cultural\/political moment when discourse is highly fractured and fractious, and a mechanism for reporting “class and section disruption,” especially one haunted by the specter of McCarthyism, only exacerbates this trend of fractious and fractured rhetoric. Within such an environment, genuine dialogue and the free exchange of knowledge are nearly impossible. This inhibits academic freedom and ultimately undermines the core mission and values of the University of California and UCSC.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nIn addition to our fundamental opposition to these practices of surveillance and reporting, the Google form for reporting class and section disruptions raises a number of red flags in terms of academic freedom. Our reading of both APM 010 and the AAUP 1940 statement on academic freedom is that we have a basic right to teach our subjects as we see fit, which we understand to include changing the day’s activities to respond to immediate learning opportunities provided by current events or news of previously unknown research innovations. Moreover, even when AAUP notes the limits to such a right (i.e., that instructors should “be careful not to introduce into their teaching controversial matter which has no relation to their subject”), it nonetheless acknowledges that such a limit is primarily intended to “underscore the need for teachers to avoid persistently intruding material which has no relation to their subject.” Such rights and protections not only safeguard the ability to change the material and\/or the sequence of activities in our courses in order to respond to emergent circumstances but they also allow for the introduction of new material not specified on the syllabus if related to the overall course, so long as we are able to articulate those connections.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nLike you, we are concerned about the quality of our students’ education, and we want to hear from them about their educational experiences. That said, we believe that students already have processes for sharing their experiences, both positive and negative, including grievance procedures and student evaluations of teaching. In addition, we are certain that students make regular use of publicly available email addresses for campus administrators in order to register their concerns and complaints.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nGiven the gravity of our concerns about the free exchange of knowledge, we hope that you will disable the link to the Google form and refuse to use any data collected through that mechanism as the grounds for disciplinary measures against faculty and students.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nSincerely,\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n1.

I am fully aware of the fact that along with many other universities, the University of California, in the person of its president (\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/regents.universityofcalifornia.edu\/governance\/policies\/1300.html\"\u003EPolicy 1300\u003C\/a\u003E), has already expressed its opposition to “academic boycotts” in the past, and has the right to do so. I question, however, both the inclusion of chancellors in signing this letter, the lack of any consultation with UC faculty about its content and\/or the wisdom of sending it, and, most importantly, the timing of it.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nIf Policy 1300 does give our President the right “to speak for the University,” this right comes to her from the Board of Regents, and it presumably refers to all matters of administrative and public representation of the University as an institution. On the other hand, the University of California also has a long-standing tradition and commitment to shared governance, especially when it comes to questions impacting academic matters. The two principles are clearly at odds with each other and it is therefore a delicate matter of interpretation and political acumen for a President to decide when it is appropriate to speak on behalf of the University. The fact that President Napolitano asked all ten chancellors to sign her letter indicates to my mind that she was not certain of having the authority to send that letter and therefore sought to buttress her right by involving the chancellors. At a time in which shared governance has been eroded for several years in the system, it is particularly disturbing to witness this instrumental use of authority and lack of consultation with UC Senates and faculty on matters of great concern to the faculty.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nI am not referring to the actual merits of the academic boycott under consideration by members of the AAA, but to the very serious interference with the voting of a resolution by members of a scholarly association who are employed or may be employed by our university. It is one thing to speak for or against resolutions taken by scholarly associations in favor of the academic boycott of Israeli universities, as it was the case with the American Studies Association in 2013. The protest came after the vote had taken place, and, whether one agrees with it or not, it did not interfere with the actual voting procedures. To send a letter that explicitly claims that “the University of California believes that an academic boycott is an inappropriate response to a foreign policy issue and one that threatens academic freedom and sets a damaging precedent for academia,” and therefore “urge(s) Association members to consider the boycott’s potentially harmful impacts and oppose this resolution,” is not only misrepresentative of the percentage of UC-system scholars who support the boycott, but also a far cry from the right to public critique and from the defense of academic freedom invoked in the letter. For an institution that hires the members of an association to urge them to vote one way or another is at best interference, and at worse intimidation.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nWith all due respect I hope you will consider consulting at least with the head of the Academic Senate next time you are invited by UCOP to sign a letter on behalf of UCSB.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Ch3\u003E\n LETTER 2\u003C\/h3\u003E\n\u003Cb\u003ETo: President Janet Napolitano and Chancellors Dirks, Katehi, Gillman, Block, Leland, Wilcox, Khosla, Hawgood, Yang and Blumenthal\u003Cbr \/\u003EFrom: Mark LeVine, Dept. of History, UC Irvine \u003C\/b\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nI am writing to express my strong concern and anger at your April 19, 2016 letter to the American Anthropological Association regarding the ongoing vote of the organization's membership on whether to endorse the Academic Boycott of Israeli academic institutions. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nLet me begin by pointing out that when the ten chancellors of the UC system and its President can't even remember the correct name of the organization they are writing to criticize—you called the AAA, one of the oldest and most prominent learned societies in the United States, the “American Association of Anthropologists”--it does not auger well for the accuracy and cogency of the arguments that follow. Sadly, this fear was confirmed by the contents of the letter. As has already been expressed by colleagues at UC Berkeley after former Chancellor Birgeneau and EVC and provost Robert Breslauer attempted to interfere in the AAA vote late last year, it is “unacceptable that [senior UC Administrators] would lend their voices to the organized intimidation of critics of Israeli state policy, and we particularly worry about the effect of such intimidation on our junior and more vulnerable colleagues.”\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nFar from being the private opinion of academics concerned about the potential actions of colleagues, you are speaking directly and officially for the University when you declare that “the University of California believes that an academic boycott is an inappropriate response to a foreign policy issue and one that threatens academic freedom and sets a damaging precedent for academia.” Before even offering a critique of your arguments I find myself compelled to point out that while you have come together to take a highly public, united stand against a boycott of academic institutions complicit in a five-decades long occupation, you have shown nothing close to this level of attention or unified voice to condemn the very real violations of academic freedoms associated with the ongoing systematic sexual harassment (and worse) suffered by women at UC, dozens of new cases of which have come forward in the period between the Regents' much condemned attempt to equate anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism in its March 23 policy statement and your present letter. I would like to know, How can you justify the amount of time and energy spent coordinating this letter when no similar collective letter from all of you has been issued surrounding the clear and ongoing dangers faced by women at UC, not to mention the harassment experienced by various minority communities on campuses across the University? (In fact, such collective letters on issues not directly related to the University are an unusual occurrence.) \u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nTurning to the letter, I would like to ask, by what right and upon what evidence can you, without a vote of the Academic Senate, make an explicit declaration of what the “University of California believes”? As far as I can tell, whenever members of the UC community have expressed their collective opinions on the issues of academic boycotts or BDS more broadly, large percentages of those participating in such discussions have endorsed them, as evidenced by the votes of the Associated Students of UC (ASUC), the system-wide student Senate, as well as several campus AS Senates, in support of divestment resolutions. Moreover, the publicly available evidence clearly shows that substantially more UC professors are on record either endorsing BDS or at least refusing to label it as anti-Semitic then are their colleagues offering the criticisms outlined in your letter. This was most recently made clear by the overwhelming opposition to the Regent's universally condemned attempt to classify anti-Zionism (and particularly BDS) as a form of anti-Semitism. Nowhere does your letter mention the diversity of opinion at UC on the issue you are making such a definitive pronouncement. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nWhile as individuals you have every right to speak your views on BDS or any issue, you clearly do not have an imprimatur to speak on this issue on behalf of the UC community on the issue of BDS, never mind adopt a position that is clearly at odds with the majority of its publicly expressed opinions. Your letter can only be understood as reflecting a troubling disregard both for shared governance and for academic freedom and honesty as well. By using your power as the senior leadership of UC to declare an official policy that is in opposition to the expressed opinions of a significant share of the UC community without any discussion of the issue by Academic Senate, you are potentially causing significant harm to members of our community. This is especially true of students, staff and junior or non-Senate faculty who might feel intimidated by your declaration of official policy into silencing their constitutionally protected opinions. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nYour letter is also extremely troubling because it seriously distorts the nature and meaning of the BDS call under discussion by the AAA and other professional organizations and, as important, utterly ignores the disastrous situation faced by Palestinians during half a century of Israeli occupation. Beginning with the latter, as the newly released State Department annual report on human rights once again makes clear in its second paragraph (and which is supported by the regular reports of every major global, Israeli and Palestinian human rights monitoring organization there is), Israel systematically denies Palestinians the right to education and more broadly “discriminates against Palestinian [citizens] in almost every aspect of society,” while engaging in “unlawful killings, use of excessive force, and torture” against Palestinians in the Occupied Territories. And these actions are merely an addition to the mundane brutality and crimes associated with the massive ongoing settlement enterprise whose perpetuation and intensification is the Occupation's acknowledged goal. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nIndeed, your description of the Israeli occupation as merely a “foreign policy issue,” as if it was a trade dispute between WTO members, betrays a particularly shocking ignorance and disregard—I do not know which is worse—of the brutal realities of the Occupation. How, may I ask, can you write a letter expressing such concern over a well-established protest strategy with a long and proven history while saying nothing about the world's longest occupation and all the very real harm it does? I would like to invite all of you to come to the Occupied Territories and experience life as a Palestinian, particularly a student or professor routinely and systematically denied the right to pursue her or his education, research or teaching, and then explain to the UC community how this debate is merely over a “foreign policy issue.” \u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nTurning to Paragraph 2, you argue that “free expression, robust discourse, and the vigorous debate over ideas and principles are essential to the mission of academic institutions worldwide.... These freedoms enable universities to advance knowledge and to transmit it effectively to its students and to the public. The University of California has a strong tradition of free speech and the free exchange of ideas, and it is our responsibility to defend academic freedom and our scholars’ ability to choose their research and colleagues. Limits to the open exchange of knowledge and ideas between our universities stand in direct opposition to our values and goals.”\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nThis argument is riddled with empirical flaws and inaccuracies that are quite frankly inexcusable coming from senior academics in your positions of administrative power and public prominence.. To begin with, as all the debates over BDS in professional associations such as the AHA, ASA, MESA and now AAA make clear, in no way does the call for an academic boycott entail restrictions on free expression, robust discourse or vigorous debate. In fact, just the opposite is true. The very act of bringing BDS before our professional organizations has stimulated unprecedented debate around the Occupation and the larger conflict. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nMoreover, in no way does the BDS call advocate restrictions on “our scholars' ability to choose their research and colleagues” (to speak for myself, I continue to do research, write and otherwise collaborate with many Israeli scholars). What it does do is suspend institutional cooperation and collaboration with Israeli institutions that are in any manner complicit in the Occupation, which sadly most Israeli universities clearly are. Yes, this policy demands a sacrifice by scholars, both Israelis and their colleagues; but this is a small price to pay to highlight the incredible suffering endured by Palestinians because of the Occupation, including the large-scale destruction of the Palestinian education system during the half century of occupation, systematic thefts of funds and equipment, and prevention of Palestinians from even leaving the Occupied Territories, never mind establishing anything close to the level of collaboration with foreign colleagues and universities that Israel enjoys (please check your records and report to us how much UC has spent collaborating with Palestinian compared with Israeli higher education institutions and scholars).\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nWhat's more, the present policies of uncritical collaboration itself exacts a very high price, on Palestinian education, about which you have nothing to say. Indeed, these realities have led upwards of two dozen Israeli anthropologists to support the BDS call. Did you consult with them or their colleagues in other disciplines in Israel who support BDS to understand the varieties of opinion within Israeli academia on this issue before making your pronouncement? Isn't that what scholars are supposed to do? Should you, as the most senior scholars at UC, be setting an example in this regard? \u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nEven more troubling, you do not mention in your letter that UC is one of the top 5 institutions receiving “BSF” (US-Israeli Bi-National Science Foundation) grants, with campuses engaged in multiple projects with Israeli universities involving significant research funds. My own campus, Irvine, established the “UC Irvine\/Israeli Scholar Exchange Endowment for Engineering Science Program,” whose $2 million endowment supports collaborations with Israeli universities, such as Tel Aviv University and The Technion, which are deeply and publicly implicated in the machinery of the Occupation. A 2014 MOU between Governor Brown and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, and the legislative resolutions supporting it, have further “unfettered collaboration between Israeli and California Universities.” Unfettered for Israelis, yes. Impossible even to dream of for Palestinians, however, as they have no comparable collaboration, and very often are illegally prevented from leaving the Occupied Territories by Israel when they do. I do not recall the last time the President or chancellors have spoken with one voice about these issue. Do Palestinian students and academics not matter in any meaningful way?\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nFinally, in your third paragraph you argue that “an academic boycott goes against the spirit of the University of California, which has consistently championed open discourse and encouraged collaboration with scholars and peers from international institutions of higher education.” This too is highly inaccurate. The University of California has never made an official pronouncement condemning or even calling attention to the systematic violations of Palestinian rights to education (never mind all the other even more basic violations they are subject to). How is engaging in long-term collaborations worth untold millions of dollars with a country engaged in an illegal occupation while remaining utterly silent about its actions against the occupied population in any way equatable to a “championing of open discourse and collaboration” in a fair and balanced manner? Of course, it is not. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nYou conclude you letter by “urg[ing] Association [of American Anthropologists] members to consider the boycott’s potentially harmful impacts and oppose this resolution.” Again, you make no mention of the harsh conditions faced by Palestinians as part of their daily existence attempting to participate in their education system. No discussion or even recognition of the incredibly “harmful impact” that clearly exists because of Israel's actions, and nothing that suggests you are in any way interested in offering a balanced view that actually takes into consideration the very real and substantial issues that the call for a boycott is intended to raise. Let's be clear: the merits of the BDS strategies certainly warrant discussion and debate. But this letter engages in neither; choosing instead to make what are essentially partisan political pronouncements based on assumptions that do not bear even the slightest scrutiny.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nPresident Napolitano, you have stated that “UC is the gold standard. Together, we must ensure that this standard is upheld.” This letter violates the spirit and letter of this pledge, as it is ethically and empirically flawed, engaging in a misleading attack on a specific strategy of non-violent resistance that has a long history of successful deployment by oppressed peoples around the world (including African Americans), misrepresenting the opinions of the UC community, of the AAA, and ignoring the large-scale injustices suffered by the people on whose behalf the BDS movement is acting. All of this done on UC letterhead acting in your official capacities as the leadership of the University. I urge you publicly to withdraw your ill-conceived attempt to interfere in the democratic deliberations of a learned society and consider how the leadership of UC can better reflect, or at least not interfere with, the diverse opinions of our community, while using the immense power of the University to help advocate both for those suffering and fighting against injustice and oppression, not just in Israel\/Palestine, but globally."},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/utotherescue.blogspot.com\/feeds\/8205624083224918176\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/utotherescue.blogspot.com\/2016\/04\/two-faculty-letters-to-uc-president.html#comment-form","title":"3 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/1170716682680204889\/posts\/default\/8205624083224918176"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/1170716682680204889\/posts\/default\/8205624083224918176"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/utotherescue.blogspot.com\/2016\/04\/two-faculty-letters-to-uc-president.html","title":"Two Faculty Letters to UC President \u0026 Chancellors on AAA \/ BDS Controversy"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Chris Newfield"},"uri":{"$t":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/01078395415386100872"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"16","height":"16","src":"https:\/\/img1.blogblog.com\/img\/b16-rounded.gif"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEjSr8NC2fxXeBPYCiqEunD3gadcX_RNz-7WwobJSCUoUOBoWskQp-1R8lDT2HLLoOaniGAOTGgo9P0duGxXx9Bsj_z22er8x-PKMhGBcHxQbeA7t98-244TzZ2grwPdczX-GYpUY8uABQo\/s72-c\/YesMen.png","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"3"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170716682680204889.post-1061584756780423652"},"published":{"$t":"2016-04-15T14:17:00.004-07:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2016-04-15T14:28:27.951-07:00"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Admin Responses"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Cal State"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Cuts"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Funding Model"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Janet Napolitano"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Public Funding"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Quality"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Shared Governance"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"UC Berkeley"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"UC Santa Barbara"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"UCOP"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"Stop Pushing the Crisis Around: Setting Goals at UC Berkeley and UCSB"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEjvF2QgNgpiMonWLf6cibMlrh36qAqNJMOFROr58b3RAC8tsxY-Vk5moZ-K5Bt2sbLkClVhRzFDKDjkBF9j8sEHk9lfpskzQeiaXctfgZ1FX-dv-1gchOBrT4Yvxgv9sUe564bZrwLa93U\/s1600\/CrowdedClass.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEjvF2QgNgpiMonWLf6cibMlrh36qAqNJMOFROr58b3RAC8tsxY-Vk5moZ-K5Bt2sbLkClVhRzFDKDjkBF9j8sEHk9lfpskzQeiaXctfgZ1FX-dv-1gchOBrT4Yvxgv9sUe564bZrwLa93U\/s320\/CrowdedClass.jpg\" width=\"213\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\nIs there a post-crisis recovery for UC and its university kin?

There may be opportunities (consistent with Academic Senate policies and contractual obligations governing workload) to organize instruction in alternative formats, including the further integration of on-line components. In select cases, when appropriate and within policy, student peer review and the judicious use of some advanced undergraduate instructors might supplement instruction by faculty and graduate student instructors. It also may be possible to recall some emeriti to teach high-impact courses.\u003C\/blockquote\u003E\nThis was an alarming list of the \"innovations\" of the miserable year of 2009, in which most departments were forced to teach lectures without sections, to convert essays into multiple-choice exams, eliminate senior seminars from their requirements, cut smaller courses even if they were intellectually central, and so on. These were mostly abandoned as soon as we could afford to do so, since faculty felt they lowered quality and students gave them bad reviews. \u0026nbsp;As for online teaching, \u003Ci\u003Ehybrid\u003C\/i\u003E courses --mixtures of online and face-to-face--can be very good, but versions that raise quality don't \u003Ci\u003Esave\u003C\/i\u003E money at all. \u0026nbsp;(Read online pioneer \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/chronicle.com\/article\/As-Big-Data-Companies-Come-to\/235400\"\u003ECandace Thille on the subject\u003C\/a\u003E, or my analysis of the \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.insidehighered.com\/views\/2013\/06\/24\/essay-sees-missing-savings-georgia-techs-much-discussed-mooc-based-program\"\u003Ecosts of the Georgia Tech-Udacity online masters program\u003C\/a\u003E.) \u0026nbsp; Colleagues from all disciplines were especially annoyed at the idea of peer-grading for undergraduates. \u0026nbsp;Peer-to-peer learning is of course central to the seminar format and is quite valuable, but only in the context of faculty-structured courses that include expert review of student work. \u0026nbsp;From the student perspective, if going to UCSB grading will mean your paper is reviewed by the student sitting next to you, you might as well start UCSB Co-Op College in Isla Vista and get your student-graded higher learning for free.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nWhy such a dismal message? \u0026nbsp;Was the enrollment \"surge\" going to wash us away? \u0026nbsp;I decided to check. UCSB has just under 11% of UC's resident undergraduate total (\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.universityofcalifornia.edu\/infocenter\/fall-enrollment-headcounts\"\u003Eusing pulldown menus)\u003C\/a\u003E, which puts its share of the New 5000 at about 550 new students. \u0026nbsp;UCSB's Long Range Development Plan\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.facilities.ucsb.edu\/files\/docs\/lrdp\/UCSB_LRDP_021215.pdf\"\u003Ealready called for adding 5000 students\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;on a 2010 base of 20,000 over 15 years (page A-4; UCSB already had 22,218 headcount students in 2010). Adding 5000 students over 15 years means adding an average of 333 students in every year.\u0026nbsp;So the \"surge\" means the campus will bring 220\u0026nbsp;\u003Ci\u003Eadditional\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/i\u003Estudents beyond what its LRDP had been planning for anyway. Or maybe we were taking 675 students, based on the 2700 seats, which would be an additional 340 students beyond our LDRP.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nHow hard would this be? I looked at the \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.universityofcalifornia.edu\/infocenter\/fall-enrollment-headcounts\"\u003Eenrollment increases \u003C\/a\u003Eof previous years. \u0026nbsp;I have folded in

\/\u003E\nIn 2009, UCSB added 900 students in one year. \u0026nbsp;In the two-year period 2009-2011, it lost nearly 1200 undergraduates, which created some infrastructure headroom. \u0026nbsp;After 2011, the campus has added at somewhere between 350 and 400 undergraduates per year, and nearly 900 in 2013-14. \u0026nbsp;This is a bit above the growth rate planned in the LRDP. The Napolitano 550 (or 675) for UCSB is 150-350 beyond recent average increases, and less than the campus handled the year before last. \u0026nbsp;It is also in the neighborhood of the 300 Nonresident International students the campus enrolled in each of the last two years. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nIn other words, we \u003Ci\u003Ecould\u003C\/i\u003E see the surge as getting us two years of LRDP growth in the space of one. We could focus on translating it into a quality upgrade. \u0026nbsp;The memo noted the Santa Barbara campus's popularity with applicants. \u0026nbsp;More students won't overwhelm us. They won't burden us. \u0026nbsp;All our campuses do need to fix big things: senior managers need to keep president Napolitano from making bad deals and pushing the costs down. \u0026nbsp;They need to get full costs for new students and not the current $5000. \u0026nbsp;But in the process, UC needs to keep focused among other things on how desperately it needs to be \u003Ci\u003Eraising \u003C\/i\u003Ethe\u003Ci\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/i\u003Equality of learning.

Staff are the backbone of the University of California (UC) system and we are a fundamental component to ensure that the UC mission is realized.\nThousands of bright and dedicated staff choose the UC as their employer and our daily duties, such as advising students on which courses to take, assisting faculty with writing grant proposals, and balancing department budgets, are integral to making the UC work. Staff are crucial in making the UC system successful and they should be given the opportunity to take advantage of the same retirement benefits that are being offered to faculty.\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nBenefits, including the retirement package, are one of the strongest tools UC has for recruiting and retaining employees. The new proposed retirement tier has been presented with the impression that it will not directly affect current UC employees.\u0026nbsp; However, this is not the case, since it will impact the UC's future and many current employees will continue to work here 10 to 20 years from now. Any lessening of the benefits injures UC's ability to attract and keep the best and brightest staff.\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nAdditionally, we support the faculty's concerns that the proposed tier will affect faculty recruitment and retention. Salary is valued and important when attracting new hires. However, in order to keep these employees, we must invest in them and their futures.  We feel strongly that whatever retirement options are chosen should be offered equally to all employees. If you want to hire future quality employees you have to keep the same level of retirement opportunities available: do not offer anything less. It is not the pay that keeps dedicated, hardworking supportive staff at the University who give of themselves and more. It is the promise that if we work hard and invest\nin our careers at UC we will have invested in our future."},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/utotherescue.blogspot.com\/feeds\/437897631152682159\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/utotherescue.blogspot.com\/2016\/02\/ucsb-staff-assembly-exec-letter.html#comment-form","title":"0 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/1170716682680204889\/posts\/default\/437897631152682159"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/1170716682680204889\/posts\/default\/437897631152682159"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/utotherescue.blogspot.com\/2016\/02\/ucsb-staff-assembly-exec-letter.html","title":"UCSB Staff Assembly Exec Letter Supporting Senate Concerns About New Pension Tier"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Chris Newfield"},"uri":{"$t":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/01078395415386100872"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"16","height":"16","src":"https:\/\/img1.blogblog.com\/img\/b16-rounded.gif"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEjKZOP4lgoRsR-9-Ctfn1UUrUPtwkwI7F17E0mfiacdfcuQe6DLReiIsowOlMFCHRyxZ34CavHjT45IkxydqUuVsgfY35k1uXyhYUyNZQ1tcamDeGjBKlYN4H6A-okXH9IRGonliqWJdSk\/s72-c\/chasing-money.jpg","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"0"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170716682680204889.post-2928806765894768807"},"published":{"$t":"2016-02-04T08:46:00.001-08:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2016-03-18T18:34:41.183-07:00"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Employee Benefits"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Faculty"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Governance"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Income"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Janet Napolitano"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Jerry Brown"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Pension"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"UC"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"UC Santa Barbara"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"UCSB Faculty Association Statement in Opposition to New Pension Tier"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003Cdiv class=\"separator tr_bq\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEjRxjJGfs88w-aL__iOzIUII-UlCLSXI38jw9ySX6TkkISgXrcRE2ReeSyyl14gU7G-GQ01S_P6SOrqhGxG6E80kQm-T47PfsT4em11lwOHXGf4O9plRbqbdWLljht-OSMpykc_laR95mB4\/s1600\/digging+a+hole+deeper.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEjRxjJGfs88w-aL__iOzIUII-UlCLSXI38jw9ySX6TkkISgXrcRE2ReeSyyl14gU7G-GQ01S_P6SOrqhGxG6E80kQm-T47PfsT4em11lwOHXGf4O9plRbqbdWLljht-OSMpykc_laR95mB4\/s1600\/digging+a+hole+deeper.jpg\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003EThe following is a letter sent to Colleagues by the UCSB Faculty Association calling for opposition to the proposed new pension tier.\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cblockquote\u003E\nDear Colleagues:\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nWe are gratified by the strong response at the Town Hall of the faculty, resisting the unsound pension that UC is proposing to offer new hires starting July 1. Over 1,000 faculty have signed \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.protectmypension.org\/\"\u003Ethe petition\u003C\/a\u003E opposing the new tier proposals. We are resending this message to give you an opportunity to join your colleagues by signing the petition if you have not done so. The deadline for making known your opinions regarding these changes is February 16.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nAllow us to share with you our reasons for objecting to the current proposal:\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n1) We share the task force chair's bleak account of the \"negative effects of the PEPRA cap on retention and timely retirement\" (A guide to reviewing the recommendations of the \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/ucnet.universityofcalifornia.edu\/compensation-and-benefits\/2016-retirement-benefits\/rotf-report.pdf\"\u003ERetirement Options Task Force\u003C\/a\u003E, p. 7). In other words, the future of the institution is at stake.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n2) We take issue with the fact that while the acceptance of the PEPRA cap is presented as UC's side of the deal with the governor and the legislature, the latter's part of the deal has not been fulfilled:\u003Cbr \/\u003E\na) UCRP has NOT been acknowledged as a permanent state obligation;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nb) the State's promise \"of $436 M for the UCRP over the next three years\" to help finance the Unfunded Accrued Actuarial Liability (p.4 of the \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/ucnet.universityofcalifornia.edu\/compensation-and-benefits\/2016-retirement-benefits\/rotf-report.pdf\"\u003ETask Force report\u003C\/a\u003E) is a misrepresentation. As Michael Meranze has underlined, the Legislature actually has \"not engaged in any multi-year promise\". In addition, of the $10.7B or 12B UAAL (numbers depending on market-value or actuarial-value), the hypothetical sum of $436 is only a very small percentage, not accomplishing much. In sum, we object to completing our side of a (bad) deal, when there is no actual commitment on the other side.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n3) We take issue with the top-down way this complex issue has been handled. The Task Force had to begin from a declared reality that no one in the UC system other than President Napolitano had a hand in ratifying. This is not shared governance. In addition, the fact that the recommendations of the Task Force, whatever their merit, can be taken or left by President Napolitano further erodes whatever good faith and intellectual effort went into these proposals.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n4) We are not convinced by the Task Force's arguments that introducing a Defined Contribution option is fiscally advantageous. No credible empirical evidence exists in the report or in recent economic history to support the assertion. Moreover, the proposed options, in their concern for portability, favor short-term employees over long-term employees, further undermining faculty loyalty to the institution or a commitment to public service.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n5) We object to the ramifications of adding a new tier to retirement benefits that creates financial divides between those hired before 2016 and those hired thereafter. Even more, we see these changes as part of a broader national trend to eviscerate tenure and full-time employment.

After UCOP officials endured a large, angry meeting on the Santa Barbara campus, a patch was arranged. \u0026nbsp;Sansum Clinic would offer Tier 1 services for a year, with a possible continuation. But Cottage Hospital, the best and only full-service hospital in the Santa Barbara area, would be available exclusively under Tier-2 payment conditions for UC Care (and under normal HMO conditions for HealthNet clients). \u0026nbsp;Tier-2 has much higher payments for patients, but underlying cost inequities and access problems were not resolved.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\n\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003E(All our posts and links on the topic are\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/utotherescue.blogspot.com\/2007\/01\/employee-benefits.html\"\u003Elisted here\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003E;

Those numbers, if they exist, were not published.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\n\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003EThe poor management theory behind surveys is that you can manage by majority opinion and set the minority aside. \u0026nbsp;That marginalizes individual experience, and in health care it is a way of favoring the healthier share of the population over the sick. \u0026nbsp;This strategy produced such serious cost and public health problems with the existing private health care system in the US that the Affordable Care Act, for all its public subsidizes for private providers, now regulates it. \u0026nbsp;The UC system doesn't reject sick employees, and yet this survey, normally construed, encourages UCOP to treat the dissatisfied as outliers who can be safely ignored. \u0026nbsp;Those outliers include the entirety of the UCSB workforce, who constitute about 3 percent of the system's healthcare enrollment.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\n\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003EManagement by survey may have encouraged UCOP to end last year's policy of holding down employee contributions. \u0026nbsp;You'll remember that UC Care's premium, defined as lower than that of Anthem\/Blue Cross, was a leading selling point. \u0026nbsp;I did some quick calculations before the meeting and discovered that my UC Care premiums will be rising by over 17 percent. \u0026nbsp;This is of course a systemwide price. Lower income employees will see a rise of about 20 percent. \u0026nbsp;In all brackets, UC Care prices rose from 2 to over 3 times the rate of HealthNet and other preexisting commercial plans. \u0026nbsp; Chair Bhavnani presented a spread sheet that displayed cost increases for all plans at all income brackets, and they are disturbing. \u0026nbsp;Will they be repeated for 2016 and again for 2017 and for the years after that?

Several people chimed in, and the leading explanations were that the UC medical centers who provide UC Care's service (a) had new costs that they had to roll forward into this year; \u0026nbsp;(b) are actually not very efficient at providing primary care; and (c) have growing deficits that need covering in part from UC Care revenue streams. \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\n\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003EOf course last year UC proclaimed the readiness and superior efficiency of UC's medical centers, which were there to keep costs down.
