As shown above, there is bipartisan disapproval in the latest Field Poll of the budget cut trigger that was enacted as part of the 2011-12 California state budget. Of course, what the legislature enacts, it can amend or un-enact. Readers of this blog will know that the trigger includes more cuts for UC. Given voter sentiment, perhaps - if UCOP and the Regents - work on it, what happens if the trigger is pulled is not inevitable.
There was much bemoaning by the Regents at their recently-concluded meeting about what to do and whether to accept a UCOP plan for dealing with the UC funding problem. Is there an opportunity here at the legislature and with the governor? Just asking.

Reminder to UCOP and the Regents: When the train is coming, it's best not to be asleep at the switch:
