State Fiscal Crisis Further Depletes 2008-2009 UC Budget

In an effort to continue open communication and understanding about UCSF’s budget, California’s ongoing fiscal crisis and related financial matters, Senior Vice Chancellor Steve Barclay issued an open letter to the campus community today (Nov. 17.) “As the grim realities of the state and national economic and financial marketplace begin to have a direct impact on us, having a common understanding of these challenges and the benefit of thoughtful and informed advice within the UCSF community becomes even more urgent and important,” Barclay said. “Now, more than ever, we will need to identify ways, and provide people with the tools, to drive the success of the institution.” The letter serves as the third campuswide statement regarding the state financial crisis and is posted on the UCSF budget website.
