UC submitted detailed information on the proposal’s $300 million 2020-21 UC State Seismic Program on January 13, 2020. Based on these submissions the Department of Finance issued a preliminary approval for UC’s State Capital Outlay proposal on February 14, 2020. With Public Preschool, K-12, and College Health and Safety Bond Act of 2020 (Proposition 13) not passing, the University is requesting some adjustments to its 2020-21 State Capital Outlay proposal. As originally proposed, the $80 million 2020-21 Planning for Future State Capital Outlay program would fund preliminary plans for critical high priority State-eligible major capital projects. With the exception of the San Diego campus’ Revelle College Seismic project, these projects relied on funding from Proposition 13. Accordingly, the University is proposing the revisions to the 2020-21 State Capital Outlay proposal as discussed as follows.

  • ACCOUNTABILITY PROFILE University of California, Berkeley

    ACCOUNTABILITY PROFILE University of California, Berkeley

    ACCOUNTABILITY PROFILE University of California, Berkeley California’s Investment in Berkeley GRAND ASPIRATIONS built this university more than 140 years ago when Berkeley, the flagship institution of the University of California system, was established. The goal was to create an institution with attributes “equal to those of Eastern Colleges,” what today are called the Ivy League schools. This new university not only would educate students but also serve and assist the people of California. As a public research university, Berkeley was charged with seeking new knowledge and discovery to serve the public interest, and providing Californians access to its excellent educational opportunities. Public research universities are pivotal in realizing society’s potential for opportunity, innovation, social justice, and prosperity — extending the public good for the benefit of all. Today, Berkeley is recognized as a leader among the world’s universities in offering true breadth, access, and comprehensive excellence. As UC’s oldest campus, Berkeley is home to many historic sites, including South Hall [the first UC building, constructed in 1873], Hearst Greek Theatre [1903], California Hall [1905], Hearst Memorial Mining Building [1907], the Campanile [1914], Doe Library [1917], and Wheeler Hall [1917]. The campus has many world- class research museums, field stations, and other research centers, along with a library collection that ranks as one of the “Berkeley — the university — seems to best in the nation. In 2007 the Association of Research Libraries ranked me, more and more, to be California’s Berkeley’s library among the top five university research libraries in North America. Its rare and specialized collections, such as the Bancroft Library’s highest, most articulate idea of itself.” Mark Twain Papers and Project [the world’s largest collection of Twain — JOAN DIDION ’56 materials], serve educators and scholars from around the state and the Author world.

    Contributors to the EHR Advisory Committee Review of US Undergraduate Education in SME&T

    Section VI: Contributors to the EHR Advisory Committee Review of U.S. Undergraduate Education in SME&T • 312 • • 313 • Acknowledgments Shaping the Future is the product of many people, and it is a pleasure to acknowledge their contributions to this report. My only fear is that I will overlook someone, and I hope for forgiveness if that is the case. First, I thank Luther Williams for the idea to do the report in the first place and the unfailing support and encouragement to complete it and to implement it. To Bob Watson, Division Director for Undergraduate Education is owed an enormous debt of gratitude. Bob opened the Division to me, provided whatever I needed to get the job done, allowed me to observe and participate in many aspects of the Division's work, and gave invaluable advice and suggestions at every stage. Throughout, however, he was careful to allow me to be independent. Any lapse of objectivity is my responsibility, not his. The staff in DUE were helpful beyond belief, though they had a full plate of responsibilities without this review! They provided information and assistance at every turn, seemingly never too busy to answer a question or offer a suggestion. They planned the conference, "Shaping the Future," in such a way as to provide a superb sendoff for our report. Thanks to all of them, who became and still are good colleagues. Special thanks are due to Myles Boylan and Peter Yankwich, who did most of the staff work, analyzing information, commenting on early drafts, gathering data, and providing invaluable historical perspectives.
