message from The Assistant Vice Chancellor
 Happy New Year! 2012 will be an exciting election year, with not only the Presidential election, but Congressional and Legislative elections. It is also a year where our voices in support for higher education in California are needed even more. The Community College, California State University and University of California systems have sustained substantial funding reductions. We must remember and remind our elected officials that California would not have the highly skilled workforce and diversified, innovative industries in our state were it not for our colleges and universities. We cannot afford to be silent in the face of the ongoing budget cuts to higher education. It is not only harmful to our institutions, it hurts our state.
Stand up! Speak out! Fight back! Join Bruin Caucus!
Go Bruins!
Keith S. Parker
Assistant Vice Chancellor
Chancellor Gene Block visited Sacramento with Assistant Vice Chancellor Keith Parker and Executive Director Ramona Cortes-Garza to discuss higher education issues and the future of UCLA. He talked one on one with state legislators who represented Los Angeles County, as well as a number of elected officials who were Bruin Alumni. Despite the current challenges faced by California, Chancellor Block stressed that UCLA is focused on the future, and it was his hope that the state would also focus on the future by supporting higher education.
