3. Berkeley’s expenditures have grown to ~$2 billion UC Berkeley Revenues for Core Activities

4. Revenue sources have changed drastically 0 200 400 600 0 200 400 600 0 200 400 600 State Support in FY 2011-2012 is only 11% of Berkeley expenditures

5. Revenue Sources for Student Education Since 1990, the state's contribution to educating each UC student decreased by 51% in inflation-adjusted dollars. The share students pay has more than tripled since 1990. Per Student Average Expenditures for UC Education

6. State Funding for UC Berkeley is dropping UC Berkeley’s share of state funding continues to decline…

7. Summary of budget cuts and our strategy • Budget Cuts: • Initial $500 M cut for FY 2011-12 equates to a $75 M cut to UCB • Unfunded cost increases are $40 M in additional expenses (pensions, utilities…) • $150 M UC cut in “budget deal” results in $25 M cut to UCB • Mid-year 2011 triggered cuts of $100M will result in $15 M to UCB • Revised annual funding gap is ~$150 M at UC Berkeley • Strategy: • Campus plan is to fill the gap by spending carry-over funds to bridge to a time when OE gives more efficient operation. • Carry-over tax to College is $600,000 this year but my fully unrestricted funds only amount to ~$3.0 M with annual expenditures of ~$1.5 M. • Therefore these temporary cuts are being covered by a combination of previous and current operational balances to maintain prudent reserves.

18. Operational Excellence in the College 2010: Organizational Simplification – Reorganize andreduce supervisory positions to reduce layers and increase spans of control. Supervisors reduced from 25 to 17, spans increased from 4.5 to 6.1, 3 positions eliminated via retirements, salary cost savings $316K. • 2011: College of Chemistry reorganized computer Desktop Support: • New Model combines two new technologies: Remote Desktop Technology and Patch-Management System (Big Fix) • Fixed monthly fee per FTE (regardless of number of computers) • Provides a basic suite of software, telephone support and software-updating • 2 IT technicians will be able to service 800 faculty/staff in 6+ buildings • Yau-Man Chan will be migrating this model to the overall campus starting Fall 2011 2011: Centralized postdoc appointments – College-led centralization of appointments to reduce inefficient activities at departmental and group levels. 2011: Bear Buy – Campus-led collaboration with UCSF to establish on-line purchasing system that offers shoppers the opportunity to purchase discounted goods and services from on-line vendors.
