Earlier today, Chancellor Blumenthal described for the UC Board of Regents Committee on Educational Policy how UC Santa Cruz is moving forward with its Strategic Academic Plan in a time of diminishing resources.
UC President Yudof has asked each chancellor - over a two-year period - to provide the committee with a comprehensive presentation of that campus's strategic plan. UC Santa Cruz is the third campus to present.
Chancellor Blumenthal described a "young, vibrant campus continuing its ascent within the prism of tough economic realities."
"We are all understandably concerned by budget cuts and furloughs," the Chancellor told the Regents. "But I truly believe that 20 years from now, people will remember the progress achieved at Santa Cruz during this period much more clearly than the pain we shared."
