Budget Cuts are taking their toll across UC Davis, and the College of Mathematics and Physical Sciences (MPS) has not gone unscathed.

The UC Davis School of Medicine (SOM) and Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing have been asked to reduce their budget by approximately $6 million this year in response to a campus wide shortfall of over $113 million for the 2009-10 year.

For the 2009-2010 school year, the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CAES) has taken a 5.2 percent cut in funding, a $3.8 million decrease from an approximately $70 million budget. To compensate for this loss, the college plans to cut three departments, collapse faculty positions and reorganize departments.

In 2009, UC Davis’ College of Biological Sciences (CBS) dealt with its share of the recent cuts, having planned out $490,000 worth of reductions by August. Since then, the required cuts have been raised to roughly $770,000 for the College. It anticipates making over one million dollars in cuts.

With a total base budget of $12.3 million dollars, the College of Engineering will have approximately $1.67 million in permanent reductions, or 14 percent.

The Graduate School of Management (GSM) is finding that it is having to cut back on certain operations and expenses for the current academic year.
