UCB Chancellor Birgeneau Loss of Credibility, Trust The UCB budget gap has grown to $150 million, and still the Chancellor is spending money that isn't there on expensive ($3 million) consultants. Spend $3 million on additional classes? Use the Faculty & Staff and Academic Senate to recommend inefficiencies. Unfortunately the Staff, Faculty and Academic Senate do not trust Chancellor Birgeneau.

UCB Chancellor Birgeneau Loss of Credibility, Trust The UCB budget gap has grown to $150 million, and still the Chancellor is spending money that isn't there on expensive ($3 million) consultants. Successful leaders engage Faculty Staff Academic Senate directly. Using outsiders to receive recommendations on inefficiencies illustrate that the Chancellor has lost touch with his Faculty, Staff Academic Senate. The Chancellor and his senior UCB team have lost leadership for UCB. Contact Sacramento

Chancellor's Crisis. The signs of University of California Berkeley’s relative decline are clear. In 2004, for example, the London-based Times Higher Education ranked UC Berkeley the second leading research university in the world, just behind Harvard; in 2009 that ranking had tumbled to 39th place.
