Message from the Vice President about passage of Proposition 30
Dear Colleagues:
The passage of Proposition 30 in last Tuesday’s election is an important victory for public education in the State of California. I am thankful that the citizens of California voted to support public education and to stem the tide of cuts to programs and people that would have eroded our mission and harmed our state.
While Proposition 30 is not a panacea, it represents a very welcome respite from the recent spate of deep budget cuts, and we can look forward to having a firm budget for the remainder of this academic year.
At the same time, we will continue to face challenges as the costs of higher education inevitably rise. I am proud of the efforts UC ANR has taken over the last several years to improve efficiencies, reduce costs and generate new partnerships and revenue streams.
These efforts will continue to be vital for the long-term sustainability of our Division. This means completing the multicounty partnership process, forming more partnerships to fund vital positions and demonstrating our proven ability to provide science-based solutions to a 21st century audience.
I am extremely proud of our UC ANR family. Thank you all for your time, your efforts and your continued passion for our mission.
Barbara Allen-Diaz
Vice President
