  • July 28, 2006 an Open Letter to the Higher Education Community: The
    July 28, 2006 An Open Letter to the Higher Education Community: The United States Senate will have the opportunity to consider Senate Bill 2695, the Federal Research Public Access Act of 2006 (FRPAA). FRPAA would require Federal agencies whose extramural research budgets exceed $100 million to develop policies ensuring open, public access to the research supported by their grants or conducted by their employees. The debate about the merits of the Bill has been reported in The Chronicle of Higher Education1, The New York Times2, The Economist3 and elsewhere. The stakes are high, but the Bill embodies core ideals shared by higher education, research institutions and their partners everywhere. We believe that this legislation represents a watershed and provides an opportunity for the entire U.S. higher education and research community to draw upon their traditional partnerships and collaboratively realize the unquestionably good intentions of the Bill’s framers – broadening access to publicly funded research in order to accelerate the advancement of knowledge and maximize the related public good. By ensuring broad and diverse access to taxpayer-funded research the Bill also supports the intuitive and democratic principle that, with reasonable exceptions for issues of national security, the public ought to have access to the results of activities it funds. The broad dissemination of the results of scholarly inquiry and discourse is essential for higher education to fulfill its long-standing commitment to the advancement and conveyance of knowledge. Indeed, it is mission critical. For the land-grant and publicly funded institutions among us, it addresses the complementary commitment to public service and public access that is included in our charters.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 15, 2016
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 15, 2016 CONTACTS: Anais LaVoie, Communications Director, 510-282-0984 Kevin Sabo, President, 209-541-5209 UC Student Association Calls for Resignation or Termination of UC Davis Chancellor Linda Katehi SACRAMENTO, CA - The UC Student Association voted on Friday to formally call for Linda Katehi to resign or be terminated from her position as the Chancellor of UC Davis. President Kevin Sabo commented after the vote: “The pepper spray incident shaped student protest and campus response for the last five years. After the incident, Chancellor Katehi abdicated responsibility, but still felt it was necessary to initiate an impossible hunt to save her reputation. This is not a lapse of judgment, but a pattern of Katehi’s blatant disregard of her responsibility as a UC leader. Katehi is collecting a $425K salary, ample compensation given the fact that students on her campus desperately need resources like affordable housing, crisis food intervention, mental health support, and financial aid. Students regularly request leaders in Sacramento to provide much-needed revenue to the UC. We hold our administration to a high standard that it spends that money responsibility. Public relations professionals at UC Davis today insist that this money was not paid for by tuition revenue or public funds. I have to ask: where did that money come from? Is there a donor out there who chose to fund PR stunts over scholarships? Was it worth it, now that the image they tried so hard to delete is etched deeply into the memories of students and legislative leaders who consider these actions egregious and corruptive?” Recent documents published by the Sacramento Bee revealed troubling decisions made by the leadership of UC ​ ​ Davis, including Chancellor Linda Katehi.
