The Legislative Analyst Mac Taylor continues to provide helpful suggestions for higher ed including UC regarding budgetary options:
Reduce personnel costs by 10 percent at UC and 5 percent at CSU: $408 million
• Could require UC faculty to teach more and research less
• Could reduce sabbaticals and release time
• Could increase employee benefit contributions at CSU
