ALL ACADEMICS AND STAFF AT UCSD ALL STUDENTS AT UCSD
Representatives from the five working groups of the UC Commission on the Future will conduct a listening tour at UC San Diego from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 6, at the Price Center East Ballroom, and I invite you to attend. The UC Regents and Office of the President established the UC Commission on the Future to chart a new course to maintain the University’s excellence, access and affordability, and service to the state, within the context of the University's mission and severely reduced budget. The Commission’s five working groups will focus on: the size and shape of UC, education and curriculum, access and affordability, funding strategies, and research strategies. The Commission work groups are conducting listening tours on each of the 10 UC campuses.
At the meeting, representatives of the Commission’s work groups will
describe the scope of their work group and receive input from the campus
community of faculty, staff, students and alumni. The meeting will
include a public comment period slated for 11:35 a.m. to 12:25 p.m. If
you wish to speak during the public comment period, you must sign up in
advance that day between 9:00 and 10:30 a.m. in front of the Price
Center East Ballroom. Speakers are expected to have one minute for
their comments, although the time limit might be reduced if there is a
high speaker turnout. Groups of three or more individuals may elect one
person to speak on their behalf and may be allotted more than one
minute. Speakers, and those who are unable to attend the forum, are
encouraged to submit their written remarks to the Commission, either at
the speaker sign-up table or online at In order to attend the meeting, I am approving one hour of administrative leave with pay, and I ask supervisors to allow employees to attend, as long as the absence does not infringe upon the performance of required job duties or patient care.
