University
of California Berkeley Chancellor Birgeneau

Californians with $50,600 FOREIGN students
Public University of California

Cal. at the expense of qualified instate students.

Chancellors, Faculty University of California
Berkeley (UC Berkeley) clean up at the expense of students, California taxpayers. Californians face prolonged
stagnant economy, mortgage defaults, 12% unemployment, pay reductions, loss of
unemployment benefits.
UC Berkeley shares economic pain of Californians? No Chancellor,
Faculty layoffs or wage concessions.
UC Berkeley pay raises, tuition & fee increases
are arrogance. Apply for positions when chancellor, vice chancellor, tenured,
non tenured faculty, UCOP wages better elsewhere. If wages are what commit
faculty to UC, leave for better paying job. The sky will not fall on UC
Berkeley.
UC Berkeley wages must reflect California’s ability to pay, not what others
are paid. There is no good reason to raise salaries, tuition, fees when wage
concessions available from Chancellors, Faculty.
In the spirit of shared sacrifices UC Berkeley
Faculty, Vice Chancellors, Provost, Chancellor:
No furloughs.
18 percent reduction in UCOP salaries & $50
million cut.
18 percent prune of campus chancellors’, vice chancellors’ salaries.
15 percent trim of tenured faculty salaries, increase teaching load.
10 percent decrease non-tenured faculty salaries, increase research, teaching
load.
100%
elimination of all Academic Senate, Academic Council costs, wages.
(17,000
UC paid employees earn more than $100,000)
There
is no question the necessary cuts will be painful to Faculty, Chancellors.
UC Board of Regents Chair Sherry Lansing can bridge public
trust gap with reassurances salaries of Chancellors, Faculty reflect depressed California wages.
With UC’s shared economic sacrifices, the sky will not fall
on the 10 campuses.

Yudoff’s Buyoff = Just announced proposal for faculty and staff raises.
He is buying the silence of the faculty and staff as he and the Regents impose further cuts and further shift the tuition burden onto students and families. When the students ratchet up the protests, Yudoff will expect the faculty and staff to close rank behind him. And being the bought-off cowards that they are, most of them probably will, necessitating bolder, more disruptive tactics.
