Were it just about money, it could be resolved easily, as are other budgetary issues. Those involved would work out a compromise. Occasionally, this perennial friction erupts into open conflict — basically over who’s really in charge — and this is one of those occasions. During his first governorship four decades ago, Brown suggested that college professors should be content with “psychic income” rather than pressing for higher salaries, which reverberated through academe. Brown 2.0 has been even tighter with a public buck and pressed both UC and the state university system to become more efficient by adopting new technology, such as online learning. “We are going to have to restrain this (UC) system in many, many of its elements,” Brown said in 2012, “and this will come with great resistance.”
