LAO provides options for quality reduction at UC

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
