UC Commission on the Future

'The UC Commission on the Future is a group at the UC Systemwide level whose goal is "to create a roadmap for the University of California that affirms its core values of excellence and access while addressing state funding cutbacks." The commission is co-chaired by President Mark Yudof and Board of Regents Chair Russell Gould. There are five working groups, and these groups are holding town hall meetings across the UC campuses to solicit input. According to a message distributed on December 1, 2009, "The commission will be grappling with how to continue the university’s legacy of promoting the public good through its education, research, health care, and public service mission while state resources that historically have funded a large share of the university’s core activities continue to erode."
