The biggest reason for the short fall is that there are hundereds of professors at UC who don't teach any classes but still get compensated like they did. 30 years ago the average professor taught upwards of 4 classes per quarter. Now the University wide average is hovering at just above 2 classes per quarter. If someone could get the hundereds of people who don't teach class because they don't want to out of the lab and back in the classrooms. If they refuse to fire their ass. Whenever UC gets money from the state the vast majority of it does not find its way to the class rooms. It goes to sustain a growing population of professors who refuse to teach. Getting more money from the state will do very little to solve UC's budget problems.
