 This is Perla Shaheen for CalTV News, and I'm here today with the new Chancellor of UC Berkeley, Carol Christ. It's great to finally meet you, Carol. It's wonderful to meet you, Perla. So I know that you have a long history with UC Berkeley. You started out as a professor, and then you were the Dean of the Colleges of Letters and Science, and then you were the Executive Vice Chancellor, and now you're the first woman Chancellor that Berkeley's ever had. I guess why do you keep coming back? I deeply love Berkeley. It made me the person I am. It transformed my life. I came here as a naive 26-year-old, and Berkeley changed me, and now at the time in my life where I feel that it's time to give back. CalTV produced a video a few weeks back about your appointment as Chancellor, and a lot of students were concerned about Chancellor Dirks and his priorities with regards to the student body. So what are your priorities as Chancellor? One of my priorities is the undergraduate experience. The undergraduates here are the lifeblood of Cal. They're the reason we exist. There is a very significant deficit in student housing, as I think any student knows, so I want to make plans to double the capacity of our student housing system. I plan to be a very present Chancellor to the students. I'm going to have open hours in the library. I'm going to attend a lot of student events. You mentioned the deficit. Chancellor Dirks had created the Office of Strategic Initiatives to deal with the $150 million deficit. How do you plan to deal with that deficit? We already have made huge progress in reducing the deficit by June of 2018, but as a result of actions that we've already taken, the deficit will be $56 million rather than $150 million. In part, we've reached this by reductions in programs, but in large part, we're doing it by increasing revenues. And many have identified you as a champion of gender equality and diversity on campus. Why do you think that is? Well, in part, it's because I am a woman. Gender issues have been important to me throughout my career, as have diversity issues. I believe that Cal should be even more diverse than it is. We live in the most diverse state in the nation, and we should represent that diversity on campus. And how do you plan to deal with the reports of sexual assault on campus? We already have done over a year's work on this issue by giving more resources, both to path to care and to our Title IX compliance office. We have been changing our procedures to make them more responsive, and I've appointed a special assistant to me, Sharon Inkles, for Title IX issues in the Office of the Chancellor, so they will immediately come to my attention. Thanks for watching part one of my interview with the new Chancellor. Make sure to tune in next week for part two.
