To the UC Berkeley campus community:
I am pleased to present the 2023 Annual Report for UC Berkeley’s Administrative Division including FY2022 operating results. It is my hope that this report reaffirms our division’s commitment to transparency and accountability.
2021-22 saw the return of students to Berkeley as Covid began to recede and it was heartening to see the campus come back to life. While the transition to remote learning at the beginning of the pandemic happened more quickly and successfully than anticipated, the return to on-campus operations proved more challenging. New thinking, tools, and policies are being developed and implemented to support both on-campus and remote learning and operations.
The twelve departments within our division each accomplished innovative work during the 2021-22 year. This report briefly highlights the significant milestones and accomplishments for each department over the 2020-21 year, as well as priorities for the 2022-23 academic year. You will also find financial performance and budgets for each department. I am incredibly proud of the solutions our people have developed that enable Berkeley to continue to offer world-class teaching and research.
Through this work, we aspire to:
-
keep the Berkeley campus safe and welcoming;
-
develop and maintain classrooms, laboratories, and offices that function well;
-
inspire a diverse workforce that is knowledgeable, responsive, and dedicated to the University’s mission;
-
promote the flow of people, goods, ideas, and information around campus;
-
demonstrate sustainability as a core value in our practices, operations, and campus environment;
-
commit ourselves to continuous improvement of business processes and procedures;
-
act as good stewards of public resources for today’s stakeholders and future generations.
I am grateful for my colleagues who have offered their expertise, ideas, and hard work in support of Berkeley’s excellence. I look forward to continuing the conversation with you in the coming year.
