<p>How much are the UC cutbacks having on students at Cal this year? </p>
<p>I have read that more cutbacks are coming along with additional fees. Has anyone actually noticed any change on campus or is the effect just blown out of proportion in the news.</p>
<p>Not sure about the UC system, but the Cal State schools like California State a Sacramento and Chico etc and their other campuses have had furloughs for the professors and major cutbacks. This can not be good for the UC’s as they are state run schools as well. With that said, the UC’s are the best public option in the country in MHO.</p>
<p>Berkeley is actually going to be the school least affected by the cutbacks.
First the CSU/comm colleges are going to suffer. Then the lower UCs. And then SD/LA/Berkeley in that order.</p>
<p>For instance, nearly everyone in some of the other UCs has received a pink notification form (means that they are <em>warned</em> that they <em>may</em> be cut next year), while only certain departments (like PE and Comp lit etc) has been given those slips this year. At least this is what one of my profs said.</p>
