2008-09 budget reductions
UC Santa Cruz's permanent cut in 2008-09 was $4.5 million. The campus also received a one-time, mid-year cut of $6 million, the majority of which was covered from campus central reserves.
2009-10 budget reductions
UC Santa Cruz is planning for permanent cuts in 2009-10 of $19.8 million. This includes base budget cuts from the State, as well as mandatory cost increases for employee benefits, utilities, faculty merits, and collective bargaining agreements. The campus must also address one-time cuts totaling $22.1 million during 2009-10.
Summary of two-year budget reductions
The cumulative impact over two years is that UC Santa Cruz has incurred reduction in the State-funded portion of our budget of 20 percent. The cutback in state funding, combined with the mandatory cost increases expected next year, are of such a magnitude that no area of campus can be spared from permanent budget reductions.
