For years university professors have been demanding higher taxes, bad policies, allowing the openly corrupt UC system (like hiring a chancellor for UC Davis mired in an enrollment scandal in Illinois) to get more money.
Now, the State is broke, mainly because the tax and regulation policies, like protecting illegal aliens holding jobs in the UC system and State as a whole, they do not want to feel the pain for the policies they have promoted.
"It's an uprising of UC employees - joined on paper by more than 1,000 UC professors, scientists, doctors and faculty - who question why the well-heeled, $19 billion university system can't backfill $813 million in cuts from the state without ordering top-to-bottom pay cuts through unpaid time off.
"They say furlough, we say hell no!" chanted more than 100 nurses, custodians, technicians, clerical employees and other workers who poured out of the UC Medical Center on Parnassus Avenue in San Francisco on Tuesday during lunch hour."
I agree--no furloughs--instead, we need to fire at least 5% of the personnel. Maybe 10% fewer administrators, not paying the head of the UC twice what the President of the United States gets, fixing the system so that unions can no close down whole campuses, will save jobs and education.
Private industry has been killed by government--government workers need to feel the pain as well.
