LOS ANGELES — Faculty members at law schools within the University of California system are taking pay cuts of between 4 percent and 10 percent, effective on Sept. 1, under a recently approved furlough plan.
The UC Board of Regents, responding to the state’s impending funding cuts, approved the cuts on July 16. The unprecedented emergency plan would require faculty and staff to take between 11 and 26 furlough days during the coming school year. The furloughs are designed to partly offset an anticipated $813 million reduction in the system’s share of the state’s general fund for fiscal years 2008-09 and the fiscal year that began on July 1. That would represent a 20 percent decline from fiscal year 2007-08.
