		<description><![CDATA[The social movement known as Occupy Wall Street (OWS) is growing and raising issues of direct relevance to the faculty, students and staff of the University of California, including contracting opportunities and increasing debt loads for our students created by a system of privatized education and a refusal to provide high quality affordable public higher education. The Council of UC Faculty Associations, on behalf of all UC faculty, is making a petition supporting OWS available for UC faculty to sign. We urge you to read the petition and support it by clicking here. This petition was originally developed by faculty at Columbia and Barnard. For an excellent short article on this growing movement and how it relates to higher education, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[KeepCaliforniasPromise.org is a new website provided as a service to the UC and CSU communities to provide information and organizing tools to understand and respond to the crisis in higher education in California.   We invite you to visit the site, use it, and let us know how we can support the efforts of everyone who is committed to restoring quality, access and accountability to California&#8217;s system of higher education. It is a project of the Council of UC Faculty Associations (CUCFA), an independent organization that provides a voice for UC faculty independent of the University Administration. The Council works with comparable organizations at CSU and the community colleges, as well as policymakers, students, families, staff and their representatives. Check it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Townsend Center Newsletter Point of View by George Lakoff: &#8220;Privatization is The Issue&#8221; The California Master Plan speaks of &#8220;state-supported higher education.&#8221; There is a good reason. Government has two moral missions: protection and empowerment for all its citizens. Protection goes beyond police and law enforcement to protections for consumers, workers, the environment, investors, retirees, and victims of disease, injury, and natural disasters. Empowerment includes public roads and buildings; adequate systems for communication, energy, and water; functioning banking and insurance systems; and of course, education. No one makes a living in this state without protection and empowerment . . . . Read more at http://townsendcenter.berkeley.edu/point_of_view_Lakoff.shtml]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We support the faculty&#8217;s collective assertion of their central role in shaping the future of the University of California, and we support the calls for collective action (most recently of a walkout) by UC faculty members to publicly voice their concerns. The UC system&#8217;s historic strength was embedded in substantial public financial support and a strong faculty voice in governance. Both have deteriorated to unacceptable levels. The rejection of the faculty&#8217;s unanimous voice about implementing furloughs, through a vote of the Academic Council on July 29, 2009, is at best unwise and at worst dismissive of a cornerstone of the UC system&#8217;s strength, its faculty. The principles of the American Association of University Professors hold that the managerial assertion of [...]]]></description>
