San Diego Divisional Chair Robert Horwitz’ Remarks
June 2019 RA Presentations
Chancellor Pradeep Khosla’s Announcements
 The Chancellor reminded Representative Assembly members that we are all in
one boat together, and that we need to work together to move the campus
forward. The quality of education provided and the reputation of UCSD should
be front and center, but bills also have to be paid.
 Although there was initial resistance to Masters degrees, they now generate
$70M in revenue for the campus.
 The campus budget was finalized this week and the Chancellor mentioned the
investments being made to instructional and student success, to faculty hiring,
and to research and infrastructure support. Additional details are available
online at the following link.
Approved 2019-2020 Operating Budget
 The campus is facing a potential future fiscal disaster. This year, the campus
ended with a budget surplus (~$28M) and next year is projected to be a breakeven year, but the campus faces a projected deficit (~$24M) by 2021-22, which
will grow (by ~$35M) each year.
 A member asked for more information regarding the fiscal disaster. The
Chancellor explained that despite the hard work of the faculty, and the fact that
our reputation is strong, our publications are strong, and our research volume is
$1.2 billion, we need $35 million in additional funding from the state each year
to stay afloat. The Chancellor reiterated that we have be true to our mission and
who we are, but have to generate revenue too.
