Budget Future Up In The Air - James S. Kim, New University

Chancellor Michael V. Drake hosted an open budget forum last Thursday to present an update on the budget and answer any questions about the budget plan and the impact of Proposition 30. Meredith Michaels, Vice Chancellor for Planning and Budget, presented data regarding the evolution of the university budget and its status now. Kate Klimow, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Community and Government Relations, covered the different aspects of Proposition 30 and its impact on the university should it pass. The Chancellor also pointed to the upward trajectory of UC Irvine in the last few years, especially as state support for public education has decreased during that time. http://www.newuniversity.org/2012/10/news/budget-future-up-in-the-air/
