With the upcoming May Revise budget proposal by the governor (some time in mid-May), we have noted that the improved state budget situation and the recall make this an optimum time for UC to ask for "more" from the state.* At a joint meeting of organizations representing emeriti and retirees at UC (CUCEA and CUCRA, respectively), the UC prez indicated that indeed UC is asking for more. Its request to the governor is to be made whole for cuts this year, to receive some adjustment for inflation, and for "one-time" funding for deferred maintenance including seismic upgrades and specialized programs such as returning Native American artifacts. You can hear an audio of what President Drake said about the UC budget request at:
