Don’t miss live web chat with President Yudof Nov. 2

You have an opportunity to communicate directly with UC President Mark Yudof via the upcoming live web chat with Staff Advisors to the Regents Kevin Smith and Kathy Barton.

A central focus of the discussion will be UC’s financial future and how success or failure of Proposition 30, Gov. Jerry Brown’s November ballot initiative, could impact UC.

The event, which takes place Friday, Nov. 2, 12 to 1 p.m. on UStream TV, is an opportunity for all UC faculty and staff to have an open conversation with President Yudof about some of the issues facing the university and its employees.

“With the upcoming election and so many critical issues facing UC and all of higher education,” Smith said, “we wanted to give employees a chance to speak directly with President Yudof.”

You are encouraged to submit questions during the web cast via UStream (see instructions below), but you may also submit questions directly to the staff advisors via this email link in advance of the event.
