SUBJECT:

Town Hall for All To Discuss Current Economic Challenges

Please join me for a Town Hall meeting at 3 p.m. Thursday, February 12, 2009 in the Multipurpose Room at the Student Services Center. This is an opportunity for faculty, staff and students to communicate directly, share concerns, discuss ideas and ask questions about the current fiscal and budgetary challenges UC is facing and the impact on UC San Diego.

A video of the Town Hall discussion will be available after the meeting on my Web site at http://www-chancellor.ucsd.edu.

In order to allow employees the opportunity to attend, I am authorizing one (1) hour of administrative leave with pay. Supervisors are asked to allow employees to attend, as long as the absence does not infringe upon the performance of required job duties and patient care.

Staff from the UCSD Medical Center are welcome to attend the Town Hall on campus. However, I will hold a separate Town Hall meeting in March at the Medical Center in Hillcrest. All Medical Center staff will receive a separate email with details.

I look forward to our discussion at the Town Hall. If you have any questions about the meeting, please contact Special Events and Protocol at 858.534.6386.
