Dear Colleagues:

Please plan on attending the Faculty Budget Education Workshop - A Basic Introduction this afternoon. The workshop will be presented at 4:15 p.m. in the Leichtag Building Conference Room, following the regular business of the October 23rd Representative Assembly meeting that begins at 3:30 p.m.

Topics:
*Consequences for UC & UCSD of Recent Institutional & Political Trends
*Higher Education Budget Cuts and Prop 30
*New Structure of the UC Budget
*The UCSD Budget
*UC and UCSD Budget & Planning Process

In the wake of the new Funding Streams Initiative that has changed how funds flow to UC campuses, the announcement by Chancellor Khosla of a campus-wide Strategic Planning Initiative, and the placing of Proposition 30 on the November 6th ballot, it seems opportune to host a workshop for faculty on the financial challenges facing our campus and the workings of the budget & planning process.

Cordially,

Roddey Reid, Chair Committee on Planning and Budget
