A letter to the U.C. community is posted at my<br>> website: http://markyudof.com/<br>> <br>> I first would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the members of my<br>> staff who have worked tirelessly on behalf of public education. It has<br>> been a privilege to work with such an exceptional group of individuals. I<br>> would also like to thank the Board of Regents for allowing me to serve the<br>> University of California and the staff, faculty and students of the entire<br>> University system for their dedication, perseverance and commitment to the<br>> ideals of excellence in higher education.<br>> <br>> There are no doubt many questions about my decision to step down. I would<br>> simply refer people to the letter I have posted on my website and urge the<br>> public to respect my decision. I should say that this decision was<br>> entirely my own and I was not pressured by any individual or institution.<br>> <br>> The crisis we are facing is not only a budget crisis. This much is clear.<br>> It is a structural and systemic crisis. It is my hope that outside of my<br>> role as president of the U.C. that I will be able to do more to address<br>> the systemic nature of the crisis we are all facing.<br>> <br>> Respectfully yours,<br>> <br>> Mark Yudof, ex-president, University of California<br>> <br>> <br>> -- <br>> Ricardo Dominguez<br>> Associate Professor<br>> Hellman Fellow<br>> <br>> Visual Arts Department, UCSD<br>> http://visarts.ucsd.edu/<br>> Principal Investigator, CALIT2<br>> http://calit2.net<br>> Co-Chair gallery@calit2<br>> http://gallery.calit2.net<br>> CRCA Researcher<br>> http://crca.ucsd.edu/<br>> Ethnic Studies Affiliate<br>> http://www.ethnicstudies.ucsd.edu/<br>> Center for Iberian and Latin American Studies Affiliate<br>> http://cilas.ucsd.edu<br>> <br>> <br>> Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics,<br>> Board Member<br>> http://hemi.nyu.edu<br>> <br>> University of California, San Diego,<br>> 9500 Gilman Drive Drive,<br>> La Jolla, CA 92093-0436<br>> Phone: (619) 322-7571<br>> e-mail: rrdominguez@ucsd.edu<br>> <br>> Project sites:<br>> site: http://bang.calit2.net<br>> site: http://gallery.calit2.net<br>> site: http://pitmm.net<br>> blog:http://post.thing.net/blog/rdom<br>> site: http://www.thing.net/~rdom<br>> <br>> <br>> -- <br>> Ricardo Dominguez<br>> Associate Professor<br>> Hellman Fellow<br>> <br>> Visual Arts Department, UCSD<br>> http://visarts.ucsd.edu/<br>> Principal Investigator, CALIT2<br>> http://calit2.net<br>> Co-Chair gallery@calit2<br>> http://gallery.calit2.net<br>> CRCA Researcher<br>> http://crca.ucsd.edu/<br>> Ethnic Studies Affiliate<br>> http://www.ethnicstudies.ucsd.edu/<br>> Center for Iberian and Latin American Studies Affiliate<br>> http://cilas.ucsd.edu<br>> <br>> <br>> Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics,<br>> Board Member<br>> http://hemi.nyu.edu<br>> <br>> University of California, San Diego,<br>> 9500 Gilman Drive Drive,<br>> La Jolla, CA 92093-0436<br>> Phone: (619) 322-7571<br>> e-mail: rrdominguez@ucsd.edu<br>> <br>> Project sites:<br>> site: http://bang.calit2.net<br>> site: http://gallery.calit2.net<br>> site: http://pitmm.net<br>> blog:http://post.thing.net/blog/rdom<br>> site: http://www.thing.net/~rdom<br> <br /><hr />Your E-mail and More On-the-Go.
