The UC budget from a micro (management) perspective


The UC allocation within the budget enacted by the legislature and signed by the governor seems to have held steady throughout the process at around $4.7 billion for the fiscal year 2023-24 that begins on July 1. That's less, by the way, than the $5 billion that UC got this year. So don't be too cheery.

In any case, you might be surprised - given the supposed constitutional autonomy of the Regents - by the degree of micro-management contained within the budget. If you had any notion that the Regents just get a pile of money from the state and can do with it what they like, we'd like to have you abandon that notion. So, here - below - is the detailed budget bill's provisions for UC. We have helpfully boldfaced specific earmarks for UCLA:

6440-001-0001—For support of University of California ........................4,695,229,000

Schedule:

(1)

At a minimum, the Regents shall include in a market reference zone all comparable positions from the lists included in subdivision (l) of Section 8 of Article III of the California Constitution and Article 1 (commencing with Section 11550) of Chapter 6 of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code.

2.1.       

Notwithstanding any other law, the Director of Finance may reduce funds appropriated in this item by an amount equal to the estimated Cal Grant and Middle Class Scholarship Program cost increases caused by a 2022–23 academic year increase in systemwide tuition.

11.         (a)         

Of the funds appropriated in this item, $12,900,000 shall be available to support and expand existing UC Programs in Medical Education and to establish a new UC Program in Medical Education focused on Native American communities.
