    3. Implications of the budget crisis for us here at UCSD Faculty and staff furloughs will increase the number of UCSD faculty and staff leaving and decrease contact time with students Faculty & staff hiring freeze will decrease the number of new UCSD faculty & staff

    4. Direct impact on current students Your UCSD education will get more expensive - you may owe more money when you graduate Increase in class size Increase in waiting lists which will lead to Fewer choices in classes Less faculty interaction Possible increased time to graduation

    5. Direct impact on current students Decreased access to staff members Threat of closure of some majors, programs, offices, etc. Disproportionate impact on under-represented students Other impacts?

    6. Direct impact on future students (i.e. your younger siblings, cousins, children, etc.) Reductions in number of admissions (UCSD down 10% from last year) Increase in percent of out-of-state admissions will lead to fewer California seniors admitted to UCSD, UC, CSU, etc.

    7. Actions to take Discuss with your friends Talk to your parents, relatives, neighbors Write to your state representative, your state senator, & the governor Other actions to take?

    8. What changes to ask for? Increase in UC budget next year Support for systemic changes at the state level and beyond 50% majority for budget approval rather than current 2/3rds Restructuring of tax structure: taxing off-shore oil drilling, etc. Support for health care reform (fastest rising cost for UCSD, UC, State of California, etc.) Other changes to work for?

    9. Resources for action UC for California web site, especially their "Take Action" web page UCSD's advocacy web site UC Faculty Walkout web site UC Commission on the Future web site
