To provide awareness of campus efforts to manage the economic crisis in the best interest of our outstanding faculty, staff, and students, an overview of the UC and UCSD response to the budget crisis is summarized in a letter from Vice Chancellor Gary Matthews (PDF).
UCSD budgetary challenges in the current and upcoming years result from a number of converging factors. These include reduced state general fund budgets; growing unfunded mandatory costs for health benefits, utilities, building maintenance; reinstatement of contributions to the UC Retirement Plan; declining endowment values and operating payouts; and slowing federal research funding.
To protect our core academic enterprises — classroom teaching and research laboratories — a balanced multiyear approach is critical to the campus's ability to emerge from these challenges and forge a stronger position over the upcoming decades. Informed by, and working with, campus financial officers, several "Tiger Teams" were formed to broadly focus on:
These objectives were approached with the perspective that the long-term outcomes benefit the entire campus community.
These UCSD departments will not offer services on department-wide furlough days.

Services, office hours, and other aspects of daily campus operation are changing due to budget reductions and furlough implementation. See the listings below for changed or canceled services, programs, or annual events.
If you know of a change or cancellation that significantly affects campus operations, send it to campusweboffice@ucsd.edu.
Three Tiger Teams have presented reports to campus leadership that include recommendations on cost-saving or revenue-generating initiatives. These reports, listed below, are currently staffed by workgroups for further evaluation and analysis prior to implementation.
