  • The residential campus is experiencing an planned power outage so campus electricians can conduct important maintenance and repairs to a primary electrical substation.
  • As part of the university’s commitment to transparency and public accountability, including the way it compensates faculty and staff, UC is conducting its annual disclosure of systemwide employee compensation for calendar year 2023.
  • The UC Santa Cruz Police Department has concluded its investigation of the Dec. 12, 2023, bus crash that resulted in the death of TAPS driver Dan Stevenson and moderate to severe injuries to the five students on board.
  • Investigators concluded there was no evidence of any pre-existing mechanical conditions or failures of the bus that would have contributed to the crash or any direct evidence of any distraction.
  • As we prepare for the fall quarter, we will be providing additional updates on our budget situation, both directly to the campus and through unit leaders.
  • I am confident that, working together, we will get through this current budget challenge and emerge stronger, supported by better budget processes, and spending and revenue practices.
  • I am happy to announce the appointment of Amber Blakeslee as UC Santa Cruz’s next associate vice chancellor for budget analysis and planning. She will begin her position on June 24.
