Irvine Division of Senate Letter on UC Commission
July 28, 2009
Mary Croughan, Chair, Academic Council
1111 Franklin Street, 12th Floor
Oakland, CA 94607-5200
RE: University of California Commission on the Future
At an emergency meeting of July 28, 2009, the Irvine Division Academic Senate Cabinet considered the University of California Commission on the Future. The Commission is proposed to consult with the entire University community to help craft the vision to best serve California in the years ahead.
The Irvine Senate agrees that this is an important effort and that “this group will make recommendations that will strengthen the University and enhance its ability to continue to contribute to California’s long-term success and prosperity.”
After discussion, the Irvine Cabinet voted in favor of the following recommendation:
• Cabinet members believe that the number of regular Senate faculty on the Commission should be increased and should represent a broad range of academic disciplines and campuses.
The Irvine Division appreciates the opportunity to comment.

Irvine Division of Senate Letter on Furloughs
Mary Croughan, Chair, Academic Council
1111 Franklin Street, 12th Floor
Oakland, CA 94607-5200
RE: Furlough Plan Implementation
At an emergency meeting of July 28, 2009, the Irvine Division Academic Senate Cabinet considered different options for the furlough plan for 2009-2010. The UC Santa Cruz implementation calendar furlough plan was considered at the recommendation of a group of 74 UCI faculty who signed a petition. A majority of the Cabinet felt that the plan makes the consequences of the budget cuts and furloughs visible to the public, the Legislature, and the Regents while at the same time limiting the negative impact on instruction.
A large majority of Cabinet members were in favor of 11 common furlough days as closure for the entire campus. The Cabinet further voted to endorse the UC Santa Cruz furlough plan for 10 of these 11 days.
The Cabinet recommended assigning common instructional furloughs and campus closures on the following days for the 2009-2010 academic year.
Fall quarter
