WHO WE ARE
We are a group of concerned UC/UCLA Faculty, Staff, and Students on the proposed budget cuts to Outreach, Research, Faculty, and Financial Aid. We strongly oppose the closing of access to a quality education.
We are currently meeting every Friday at Noon to discuss strategies, share information, and develop a plan of action. We will post any new information on this site. |

WHY OUTREACH?
California students have vastly different opportunities to help them achieve school success. Some high schools give students challenging academic courses that are taught by well-prepared teachers in well-equipped facilities. Their students receive tutoring, mentoring, and other services that ease their paths into college. The predominant belief in these schools is that all students can be very successful. Students in other schools receive much less. These circumstances over which the students themselves have no control limit chances of tens of thousands of motivated, hard working students.
UC and CSU outreach addresses this "opportunity gap" by teaching, coaching, and counseling students and teachers in k-12 schools and community colleges. Students and scholars in California's public institutions of higher learning come to know the children, parents, and schools in their communities; arrive at a deeper understanding of best educational practices that they then use to teach and advise educators, community members, and policymakers; and conduct new research that informs scholars and practitioners seeking to improve the quality of California's economy and society.
