  • 2002-03 Budget for Current Operations and Extramurally Funded Operations (Table)
    2002 2003 Budget for Current Operations UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Office of the President November 2001 The President’s Message Just one year ago, California enjoyed near-record prosperity and an optimistic view of its future. Today the state faces a major economic slowdown and the unresolved menace of international terrorism. The world has suddenly become a much less certain place for individuals and institutions alike. Yet if there is one thing the current climate of uncertainty and risk makes dramatically clear, it is that research universities are indispensable to solving the nation’s most pressing problems, especially the threats of the new world in which we find ourselves. University of California engineers are already at work on technology that will make future high-rise buildings less vulnerable to terrorist attacks. Experts in bioterrorism are exploring ways to detect toxic substances and remove them from our air and water. Specialists in cybersecurity are investigating threats to communications networks that might develop in the next five to ten years and countermeasures to defend those networks. This is in addition to the daily discoveries and innovations that help make California, in the words of Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, “preeminent in transforming knowledge into economic value.” And this does not take into account the outstanding education we give our students across the UC System and the remarkable variety of public service we offer California’s citizens. Given the reality of the State’s fiscal situation, we will have difficult choices to make in the year ahead. But most economists believe that the major fiscal problems of the State are short-term in nature, a perspective that should guide our decision-making as we weigh priorities.

  • Budget for Current Operations 2001-02
    2001 2002 Budget for Current Operations UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Office of the President October 2000 THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE California’s institutions of higher education are about to be inundated by Tidal Wave II – the demographic bulge created largely by the children of the Baby Boomers. Just as their parents – Tidal Wave I – made access to college a defining issue of the 1960s, so this new generation of students, the largest and most diverse in history, is about to make the next ten years the “decade of higher education.” Tidal Wave II will create the most challenging decade the University of California has ever faced as we prepare to enroll 210,000 students by 2010 – an increase of more than 60,000 students since 1998-99, the equivalent of today’s combined enrollments at UC Berkeley and UCLA. Not even the hectic postwar years, which brought thousands of returning GIs to our campuses, posed so formidable a challenge. UC remains committed to providing access to all qualified students and we are working aggressively to address the challenge of Tidal Wave II, but with the knowledge that there is no single, one-size-fits-all solution. Each campus will adopt strategies that work in terms of its particular strengths and circumstances. And though it will require hard public policy choices from the State and uncommon resourcefulness from the University to find a place for these thousands of additional students, Tidal Wave II is within California’s means. But there is a vital difference between enrolling students and educating them. UC provides value to California only as it provides high-quality educational programs.

  • Transcription Factors Underlying the Development and Endocrine Functions of the Placenta † † † JAMES C
    Transcription Factors Underlying the Development and Endocrine Functions of the Placenta † † † JAMES C. CROSS,* LYNN ANSON-CARTWRIGHT, AND IAN C. SCOTT *Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, University of Calgary Faculty of Medicine, Calgary, Alberta T2N 4N1 Canada; †Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute, Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto, Ontario M5G 1X5 Canada ABSTRACT The placenta has been the subject of extensive basic research efforts in two distinct fields. The developmental biology of placenta has been studied because it is the first organ to develop during embryogenesis and because a number of different gene mutations in mice result in embryonic lethality due to placental defects. The trophoblast cell lineage is relatively simple such that only two major, terminally differentiated cell types appear: an “invasive trophoblast” cell subtype such as extravillous cytotrophoblast cells in humans and trophoblast giant cells in mice, and a “transport trophoblast” cell subtype that is a syncytium (syncytiotrophoblast) in humans and mice. These two cell types also have been the focus of endocrinologists because they are the source of major placental hormones. Understanding the transcriptional regulation of placental hormone genes has given insights into the control of specificity of gene expression. Because most placental hormones are produced by very specific trophoblast cell subtypes, the transcriptional details promise to give insights into cell-subtype specification. The fields of developmental biology and molecular endocrinology appear to be meeting on this common ground with the recent discovery of key transcription factors. Specifically, the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor Hand1 is essential for differen- tiation of trophoblast giant cells in mice and also regulates the promoter for the giant cell-specific hormone, placental lactogen I gene (Pl1).
