Dear All,
I went up to Sacramento yesterday to “witness” before the Senate Business and Professions Committee. I will tell you that of the 11 boards up for consolidation, only 3 survived the Governor’s “reorganization plan” and the LATC was one of the three (see Andy’s email below). All three boards that survived had good live representation (as we did), and also, you could tell that our letters had informed the Committee of our issues.
I can’t thank you enough for sending your letters and calling. It does indeed make a difference. The recommendation now goes to the Budget Committee. Until we have a finalized approved Budget, the LATC remains in limbo, and we may need to mobilize again at the last moment. I have great confidence that we can move through this as Andy as stated.
Thank you for your consistency and passion, and I also thank you for standing at the ready until we are out of the woods!
Very best,
Stephanie

Every year, millions of CD, CD-ROM and DVD disks are thrown in the trash. These disks end up in landfills and incinerators causing unnecessary damage to our environment. Software Central has recently discovered a service that will recycle old CD, CD-ROM and DVD disks. We would like to help the UCLA campus participate in this service by providing a drop off points for old disks to be recycled. We have set up a box for this purpose in the Software Central office, 4933 Math Science building. Drop off hours for disks at this location only are 8am to 4pm, Monday through Friday. Other drop off locations include:
Center for Digital Humanities Lab, B01 LuValle Commons
Center for Digital Humanities Help Desk, 1020 Public Policy Bldg.
CLICC Drop-In Lab, 145 Powell
ETU Office, 3051 Moore Hall
Science Learning Center, 4351 Young Hall
SEAS Computer Lab, 2684 Boelter Hall
Social Sciences Computing Lab, 2035 Public Policy Bldg.
Student Technology Center, Bottom Floor Delta Terrace
Technology and Learning Center, 22-001CHS
We are only able to collect the disks themselves, not the boxes or sleeves that they may come in. We encourage you to reuse the plastic “jewelbox” cases that the disks come in to the extent possible. Cardboard or paper disk sleeves are generally recyclable as paper products.
Before bringing your disks to any collection box, please ensure that you have erased any sensitive data that they may contain. You may also shred or break your disks and bring them to us in their shredded or broken form to be recycled.
Any type of digital disk can be recycled under this program, including those containing computer programs, music, video, data, etc. We are able to accept all disks of this type from all UCLA affiliates, including faculty, staff and students.
Please help us spread the word and make this recycling program a success by forwarding this email to anyone that you know on campus that may have disks to recycle. If you would like a disk recycling collection box in your department, contact us for details.
Feel free to contact us if you have any questions. Thank you for your assistance with this effort!
