Dear Editor,
I read with interest the April 2 Guardian editorial concerning the effect of the world financial crisis on market-based appointments at the University of California. I appreciate the student perspective, and I encourage all members of the UCSD community to look carefully at the most recent explanatory newsletter from UC President Mark Yudof:
www.universityofcalifornia.edu/news/ouruniversity/04_09/welcome.html.
In that letter, President Yudof sets out clearly the many steps taken on each of the campuses and in the Office of the President to deal with this serious fiscal challenge. Positive suggestions on how to better achieve necessary fiscal discipline would be most welcome.
