Independence of UC threatened – proposal by Yee
You should be aware that considerable forces are aligning to push for a fundamental change in the operation of the University of California. Senator Yee has a web site at http://www.reformtheuc.com/ that promotes his proposal to shift our oversight and control from the Regents to the Legislature. Although the DFA and CUCFA have often disagreed with the Office of the President, this move will have a fundamental and very damaging impact on the University. It is very likely that our research mission will be dismissed in favor of teaching, and it will expose us to the political machinations of Sacramento.
The DFA and CUCFA will offer a response to Yee’s proposal, pointing out its dangers for UC – and for the State.
