UC Santa Cruz has prepared this page in an effort to keep members of the campus community informed about instruction, transportation, and other aspects of the campus operation that would be impacted by a strike.

News Update:

9:15 a.m., Tuesday: Picketers gathered at both entrances to campus again this morning. People driving vehicles through those intersections are advised to drive very carefully and safely. Shuttle service is available throughout the day on the campus side of the picket lines.

Updated information will also be recorded on the campus's information hotline, 459-INFO, and relayed periodically to KZSC Radio (88.1 FM) for broadcast. This page will also be updated throughout the day or as changing circumstances warrant.

Thank you.
