message from the Assistant Vice Chancellor
September 2009
I would like to share a letter from UC President Mark Yudof to staff, faculty, students, alumni and friends concerning the impact of the state's budget cuts upon the University of California. Please take a moment to write to your legislator regarding your concerns about the future of the University and the long term impact of future budget reductions to what has always been one of the "jewels" of California. We need your voice to reach out to our representatives. If you need help in identifying your legislator, click on the "Find Your Legislator" link on this page.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me at (310) 794-6811 or ksparker@support.ucla.edu.
Go Bruins!
Keith S. Parker
Assistant Vice Chancellor
