ACADEMIC SENATE: SAN DIEGO DIVISION

MEMBERS, SAN DIEGO DIVISION, ACADEMIC SENATE

SUBJECT:    Budget Advocacy Alert

Dear Colleagues:

The University of California has in place an advocacy support network, www.ucforcalifornia.org, that provides a conduit by which UC faculty, staff, and students may contribute their views on current issues to state legislators. Systemwide Academic Senate Chair Henry Powell asked that I alert you to this opportunity. Chair Powell also sent a letter with information about the current status of State budget negotiations and with contact information for members of the Legislature's Budget Conference Committee. This can be found on the San Diego Senate web site at:
http://senate.ucsd.edu/FrontPageDocs/HCP2Div_Chairs_advocacy_060810.pdf

The current State budget situation provides a key opportunity for advocacy on behalf of the University and higher education, and I encourage you to explore the advocacy possibilities available on UC's web site.


Sincerely,

William S. Hodgkiss, Chair
Academic Senate, San Diego Division
