October 21, 2009 School of Veterinary Medicine The UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine will face a $2.6 million loss for the 2009-2010 school year. This funding gap, both a product of the state budget and a weakened veterinary services market, has left the school's Academic Council little choice but to cancel programs, eliminate positions and forestall expansion - cuts that have the potential to significantly shake the foundation of the school.

October 20, 2009 School of Education The School of Education received a 3.9% cut for the 2009-2010 year, compared to the previous year.

October 19, 2009 Graduate School of Management must shave an additional $560,000 off of their 2009-2010 budget. Newly appointed Dean Currall said that the GSM has already reduced programs, including two marketing campaigns for MBA students as well as the Dean's Distinguished Speaker Series. Dean Currall expressed some optimism saying that he's worried about how the cuts will affect the programs but that they seem "modest" and that it is too early to clearly define their effects.
