UC panel approves 11 to 26 furlough days for employees - Larry Gordon, Los Angeles Times

The furloughs would affect as many as 140,000 faculty and staff at the 10 university campuses, with higher-paid employees taking larger pay cuts. Unions would have to approve the plan, officials say. A University of California Regents panel approved an emergency plan Wednesday for most faculty and staff to take 11 to 26 unpaid furlough days next school year to offset deep cuts in state funding.
