Berkeley campus talks outsourcing classes to Stanford because of budget cuts - Johnathan Lai, Daily Clog

The campus has unveiled plans to further cut its academic and administrative expenses in response to unforeseen circumstances that resulted in more budget difficulties. “This is a very, very critical moment in Berkeley’s history,” Chancellor Carol Christ told the student body in an email sent Friday morning. “We are dealing with a financial crisis, and even the most unpalatable of options must be on the table.” The UC Berkeley administration intends on cutting $24.7 million in costs by outsourcing almost 40 percent of classes to Stanford, a “prestigious university in its own right,” claimed the Office of the Chief Financial Officer, or OCFO. http://www.dailycal.org/2018/03/31/campus-talks-outsourcing-classes-stanford-budget-cuts/
