a Section 8.28 of the 2020-21 Budget Act provides additional funding to UC under certain conditions. Amounts shown reflect the maximum UC might receive. If the state receives at least $14 billion in additional federal relief funding by October 15, 2020, $472 million of this funding is allocated to UC. If the state receives more than $2 billion but less than $14 billion, the additional amount provided to UC is proportionally reduced. The additional federal funding is intended to support ongoing General Fund purposes on a one-time basis. | ||||
b The budget also allows the Director of Finance to provide $5 million one-time General Fund to the UC Davis Koret Center for animal shelter grants and outreach. The Director can provide the funds if the center is unable to raise adequate philanthropy to support the program by April 1, 2021. In addition, the budget provides $6 million one-time federal relief funding to the UC Subject Matter Projects to mitigate learning loss in mathematics, science, English, and language arts. |
