ASUC Senate to hold special session on budget cuts this Wednesday at 7:30 p.m.

Starting at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 16, the ASUC Senate will hold a special session to discuss the UC budget crisis. Like all ASUC Senate meetings the session is open to all students, and will be located on the first floor of Eshleman Hall in the Senate Chambers.

The session will also be filmed and archived.

"I coordinated this special order with the faculty and admins," says ASUC EVP Tu Tran on the event's Facebook page here, which has already over 250 people RSVPed to attend. "Since it's such a huge topic, I figured it can be dubbed a town hall since Senate Meetings are open to the public and should be utilized in such ways."

The ASUC has invited several faculty members and administrators to share their intimate knowledge of the current budget crisis. It is crucial that all students on our campus are informed about the hardship our university faces, so please come prepared to listen, learn and ask questions.

Guests include:

  • Prof. Brian Barsky / Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
  • Prof. Catherine M. Cole / Theatre, Dance and Performance Studies
  • Prof. Fiona Doyle / Materials Science and Engineering Vice Chair, Berkeley Division, Academic Senate
  • Senior Lecturer Alan Karras / Political Economy (IASTP)
  • Prof. Chris Kutz / School of Law and Chair, Berkeley Division, Academic Senate
  • Prof. George P. Lakoff / Linguistics
  • Prof. Ananya Roy / City & Regional Planning
  • Assoc. Chancellor Linda Williams / Government, Community & Campus Liaison
