Pay attention now

As expected, the university is
getting its budget cut some more. What do folks have to say about it?

Emma Schwartz (writer): "Schwarzenegger’s plan would slash $34 million from UC’s coffers in the coming months, leaving prisons and K-12 public schools untouched." Here's a quick lesson in politics. People like kids. They don't like young adults. Hence, when it comes to cutting education, the education of young adults gets cut before the education of kids gets cut. What were you expecting? And it's not like anyone can cut prison budgets. Just think of the lawsuits prisoners will bring.

Vice Chancellor Padilla: "It’s stunning news." Because nobody was expecting outreach to get cut some more. It came right out of left field.

Margaret Weir of UC's Institute for Labor and Employment: "Labor was behind the anti-recall (and we have union associations). That’s the number one reason. It’s just politics." Quick! Name something useful your institute has done! Shocking, really. Who would've thought that while politicians were in charge, people would be affected by politics.
