UC Santa Barbara Chancellor Henry T. Yang issued the following note and passed along a message from University of California President Mark G. Yudof:
Dear members of our UC Santa Barbara community:
I am writing to share with you a letter from President Yudof and my fellow chancellors expressing our gratitude for the passage of Proposition 30 and all the hard work that went into the campaign, especially by our students.
We are tremendously encouraged by the support of our students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends who together make possible the contributions UC Santa Barbara and our sister institutions make to society. Our campuses do not just provide a world-class education to our students, but also make significant contributions through the research we conduct, the arts and culture we foster and encourage, the discoveries and breakthroughs we produce, and the jobs we create.
I look forward to continuing our work together to fulfill the promise of this great University.
Sincerely,
Henry T. Yang
Chancellor
