    UC Santa Cruz Other Recent Work Title Karl S. Pister: UCSC Chancellorship, 1991-1996 Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7pn93507 Authors Pister, Karl Jarrell, Randall Regional History Project, UCSC Library Publication Date 2000 Supplemental Material https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7pn93507#supplemental eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Introduction The Regional History Project conducted eight interviews with UCSC Chancellor Karl S. Pister just prior to his retirement on June 30, 1996, as part of its University History series. Pister was originally named as the campus’s sixth chancellor for an interim two-year appointment by UC President David P. Gardner in August, 1991, after the resignation of UCSC Chancellor Robert B. Stevens. In March, 1992, the UC Regents approved President Gardner’s recommendation for Pister’s regular appointment as chancellor. Prior to his appointment, Pister had spent his entire academic life at UC Berkeley—thirty years as a faculty member and fifteen years as an academic administrator—and as a seasoned veteran of the UC system and its bureaucracy, he knew the workings of the Academic Senate, the key figures in the University administration, and the institution’s policies and culture, all of which stood him in good stead at UC Santa Cruz. Born in Stockton, California, Pister received his B.S. (1945) and M.S. degrees (1948) in civil engineering at UC Berkeley. In 1952 he received his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois in theoretical and applied mechanics. He began his career at UC as a lecturer in 1947, and in 1952 joined the faculty of the College of Engineering where he had a distinguished career as a professor of engineering.

  • Unhappy in Its Own Way an Institutional Biography of UC Santa Cruz
    Unhappy in Its Own Way An Institutional Biography of UC Santa Cruz Ronnie D. Lipschutz Summary Reports from the many outposts of higher education across the United States and the world reflect often-lurid power struggles, among faculty, staff, administrators and even institutional governors. No one is very interested in the normal everyday operation of organizations, most which is pretty dull. When change is thought to be required, administrations tend to launch centralized initiatives that seek to reform or quickly quickly how the organization operates. This, however, is much like trying to turn a supertanker on a dime. It cannot be done. Moreover, such plans, if they are implemented at all, are likely to turn out quite differently from the original vision, with subsequent planning attempts to undo the damage caused by earlier plans. In the corporate world, planning is passé, and the notion that higher education is “in crisis” has led to a continuing craze for rapid institutional innovation through new management strategies and “leadership,” both seen as simply individual skills that can be learned and deployed. These have come to substitute for careful consideration of the many factors and forces that universities face, both internally and externally. Do such things work? This book serves two purposes: First, it a reflection on the world faced by universities across the United States, 20 years into the 21st century. The so-called crisis of higher education in the United States has come to occupy many minds and managers, including faculty, administrators, pundits, politicians, scandalmongers and even Presidents. Whether there is such a crisis is questionable, in part because it is linked to larger changes in political economies, between the end of World War II and today, that made higher education possible on a large scale and seem defective today.

  • What a Difference a Year Makes Our Partners
    OUR PARTNERS UC SANTA CRUZ A progress report on philanthropy of the UC Santa Cruz Foundation, 2007–08 What a difference a year makes Entering my second year as president, I’m astounded by the differences a year can make. Most notably, we saw the inauguration of Chancellor George Blumenthal, who honored UCSC’s founders by reminding us that we were to become a “campus for the next century”—a campus of brilliant scholars dedicated to educating tomorrow’s leaders and breaking new ground in their chosen research fields. It is gratifying to see faculty, students, and staff embarking on bold programs to build the world’s largest telescope, protect coastal and marine communities, bring health services to under- served populations, and develop storage technology to securely house increasingly complex data sets. True to the founders’ vision, the continuing emphasis on undergraduate education leads to a disproportionately high percentage of alumni who pursue graduate and professional degrees (not to mention, the receipt of Pulitzer, MacArthur, and countless other awards). These achievements, however, would not have been possible without your support. Gifts to the campus increased 25 percent last year, and the Foundation is rapidly mobilizing itself to launch even more ambitious efforts in the coming years. Supporting UCSC’s unique brand of scholar- ship is testimony to your commitment and passion for seeking excellence amidst the beauty of the redwoods on the hill. On behalf of the Board, I cannot thank you enough for your dedication and support. What can we do together to make next year even better? Gordon Ringold President, UC Santa Cruz Foundation 1 ■ Other Organizations: $2,587,213 (8.2%) FINANCIAL OVERVIEW Private gifts making a difference With over $31.5 million in private contributions during 2007–08, your support helped make this the third-highest fundraising year in UCSC history.
