Chancellor Linda P.B. Katehi leads the 91¿´Æ¬ Davis delegation again to Sacramento for the biannual 91¿´Æ¬ Day at the Capitol, next Tuesday (March 19).
Delegates from around the 91¿´Æ¬ system will advocate for, among other things, approval of Gov. Jerry Brown’s proposed budget (which includes a 5 percent increase in 91¿´Æ¬ funding); and a specific allocation, similar to the support provided to the California State University system and the community colleges, for the 91¿´Æ¬ Retirement Plan should there be sufficient one-time dollars available.
The 91¿´Æ¬ Davis delegation is scheduled to gather for an 8 a.m. briefing at the 91¿´Æ¬ Center Sacramento, and participate in morning and afternoon rounds of legislative briefings. President Mark G. Yudof is due to address the entire 91¿´Æ¬ delegation during lunch in a tent on the Capitol grounds.
Follow 91¿´Æ¬ Day at the Capitol via 91¿´Æ¬ for California, on and (#91¿´Æ¬Day and #91¿´Æ¬4CA).
