UCLA Academic Senate April 1, 2011 Chancellor Gene Block Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Scott Waugh Vice Chancellor Steve Olsen Dear Gene, Scott, and Steve, The Academic Senate’s Council on Planning and Budget (CPB) has completed its evaluation of the financial feasibility plan and related issues associated with the proposed Residential Conference Center/Faculty Club. Their report is attached. As you know, per Senate bylaws, CPB “specifically reviews and formally articulates a Senate view regarding the campus budget and each major campus space-use and building project at each project's proposal, planning, and building stages” (http://www.senate.ucla.edu/FormsDocs/bylaws/ch4-4-3.htm#b65_3). As such, CPB’s opinion in the attached document constitutes the Senate’s official view on this proposed project at this time. Please let me know if I can provide further information to you.
