“There’s a political problem,” said Christopher L. Kutz, chair of the Berkeley campus’s Academic Senate. “In order to have credibility with the voters, we need to show that we’re thinking seriously, that we know it’s a problem.”

“We need some serious dental implants for this if we’re going to make any progress,” Mr. Edley said. “I don’t know any significant organization that defines or achieves budgetary priorities from the bottom up, so that poses a challenge for a university that very much believes that academics have to be focused on and delivered from the bottom up. We’re not there yet.”
