DESCRIPTION:UC is at a turning point. Basic to our future possibilities, regardless of 
 the direction we turn, is the question of how UC finances itself and how it 
 determines its priorities. A dynamic program on the UC Financial 
 Crisis--Big Picture and Practical Actions--will occur at Classroom Unit 2 
 on Thursday October 29 from 7-10pm. Please come.\n\nTwo of the speakers 
 have devoted a lot of energy to investigating UC's finances. Stanton Glantz 
 of UCSF, author of The Cigarette Papers, is world-famous for his major role 
 in forcing the tobacco industry to pay billions in compensation to 
 government and consumers. He is a major force in Keep California's Promise 
 to restore the Master Plan for higher education, and has turned his 
 investigative skills to the administration and financing of the University 
 of California. See http://keepcaliforniaspromise.org/.\n\nRobert Meister is 
 the President of the Council of University of California Faculty 
 Associations and director of the Bruce Center for Rethinking Capitalism at 
 UCSC. For a decade he has been an active critic of the privatization trend 
 at UC and an advocate of the shared governance tradition. His open letter 
 to students "They Pledged Your Tuition" and subsequent writing have caught 
 the attention of the Regents and of UCOP. See http://www.cucfa.org.\n\nAll 
 Faculty, Staff, Students, and Community Members are 
 Welcome\n\nSpeakers:\nChristopher Connery, Professor, UCSC\nStanton Glantz,
