Proposed Budget Cuts Threaten Funding For California Universities

LOS ANGELES, CA - MAY 28: Students go about their business at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) as the prospect of billions of dollars in cuts looms for California after voters turned down a suite of tax and budget-reform measures in a special election this month to deal with the massive state budget crises May 28, 2009 in Los Angeles, California. In response, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has proposed sweeping cuts to social services including eliminations of cash assistance for 1.3 million impoverished state residents, making California the only state with no welfare program, closing 80 percent of the state parks, and slashing education and vocational programs and grants. Medi-Cal insurance coverage for dialysis and breast and cervical cancer treatment for those over age 65 would stop, as well as non-emergency care for undocumented immigrants. With cuts to prisons, rehabilitation and sentencing, non-violent, non-serious offenders would be set free a year early. (Photo by David McNew/Getty Images)
