<p>^^ Some serious CC bonding guys. I wish you guys the best for UCB…or wherever you both want to go lol. </p>

<p>Just as a brief interruption and aside: I also endured Catholic school for 4 years as a child. I was indoctrinated with alot of the stereotypical Catholic beliefs and values (some of which are positive though…like morals), however, there’s no period in my life where I have felt more guilty. I’m glad that I’ve broken away from all that and am Agnostic.</p>

<p>My family has never pressured me one way or another, so I am lucky in that regard. I definitely sympathize for ya guys though and am happy to know that things are either getting better with your families or you’ll be going off to college soon.</p>

<p>(15 million are out of work, another 9 million workers can only find part-time jobs & millions more have given up: greatest recession in modern times)
Sorry Tale of Chancellor’s Office UC Berkeley: easily grasped by the public, lost on University of California’s leadership. The UC Berkley budget gap has grown to $150 million, & still the Chancellor is spending money that isn’t there on $3,000,000 consultants. His reasons range from the need for impartiality to requiring the consultants “thinking, expertise, & new knowledge”.
Does this mean that the faculty & management of UC Berkeley – flagship campus of the greatest public system of higher education in the world - lack the knowledge, integrity, impartiality, innovation, skills to come up with solutions? Have they been fudging their research for years? The consultants will glean their recommendations from faculty interviews & the senior management that hired them; yet $ 150 million of inefficiencies and solutions could be found internally if the Chancellor & Provost Breslauer were doing the work of their jobs (This simple point is lost on UC’s leadership).<br>
The victims of this folly are Faculty and Students. $ 3 million consultant fees would be far better spent on students & faculty.
There can be only one conclusion as to why inefficiencies & solutions have not been forthcoming from faculty & staff: Chancellor Birgeneau has lost credibility & the trust of the faculty & Academic Senate leadership (C. Kutz, F. Doyle). Even if the faculty agrees with the consultants’ recommendations - disagreeing might put their jobs in jeopardy - the underlying problem of lost credibility & trust will remain.
Contact your representatives in Sacramento: tell them of the hefty self-serving $’s being spent by UC Berkeley Chancellor Birgeneau & Provost Breslauer.</p>
