Davis says UC budget to be spared further cuts

The University of California won't undergo additional budget cuts to its proposed 2003-04 fiscal year budget, California Gov. Gray Davis said in his "May Revision" to the state of California operating budget.

Davis said in a May 14 statement that he plans no additional cuts beyond the $300 million originally envisioned as part of a plan to address a California state budget deficit.

"We are grateful to the governor for placing a priority on public education in this time of great fiscal distress for the state," said Larry Hershman, UC vice president for budget. "The governor clearly recognizes the major role UC can play in stimulating California's economic recovery, and he shares our view that we must continue providing access for all UC-eligible students."
