Governor Brown did not attend the National Governors Association conference last week. Had he gone, he would have heard MIT President Susan Hockfield speaking on job creation and innovation related to higher ed and research. Of course, Brown hears from time to time about such matters from UC officials. But what they say can always be put aside as just pleading from another state agency. MIT is not a state agency, not even a public university, and is on the other side of the country.
Here is the audio of Hockfield's remarks:
So - with the budget cuts do we know about merit increases for non-represented staff? Was that cut with the add'l 150M?
ReplyDeleteStop budget cuts and turn to wage concessions by vice chancellors, chancellor, faculty at UCLA.
ReplyDeletePitch in for UC with deeds rather than whinning and words, please.
