UC President Mark Yudof and Staff Advisors to the Regents Kevin Smith and Kathy Barton will take part in a live web chat for UC faculty and staff on Friday, November 2.
A central focus of the discussion will be UC’s financial future and how success or failure of Proposition 30, Gov. Jerry Brown’s November ballot initiative, could impact UC.
The live employee web chat will take place on Friday, Nov. 2, 12 to 1 p.m. on UStream TV.
The event is an opportunity for all UC faculty and staff to have an open conversation with President Yudof about some of the issues facing the university and its employees.
"With the upcoming election and so many critical issues facing UC and all of higher education,” Smith said, “we wanted to give employees a chance to speak directly with President Yudof."
Participants are encouraged to submit questions during the web cast via UStream (see instructions below), but may also submit questions directly to the staff advisors via this email link in advance of the event.
