As We See It: Tough choices for UCSC - Santa Cruz Sentinel:
"All the discussion over the future of higher education in California reminds us of the old saw 'all politics is local.'
The University of California, perhaps the best public university system in the world in terms of quality of research, is in the midst of a historic crisis. With a drastic cut in state funding, campuses are being forced to furlough employees and impose steep fee hikes for students.
This is true at UC Santa Cruz, just as it is in Berkeley, Davis or San Diego, and other UC campuses. Fortunately, UCSC Chancellor George Blumenthal has been willing to make some tough choices in the name of preserving the university's core missions of education and research.
That's the local part."
