Several people and departments are involved in making decisions about which construction projects get first priority for funding – from directors of physical planning and facilities at the campus, to facilities chiefs at the system level, to the state Legislature in Sacramento.

Discussion questions:
Should universities use state construction money to build new buildings or expand old ones when they still have occupied, seismically hazardous structures to fix?
How important is it that the most hazardous buildings in the system be addressed first?
Should the Legislature provide more state construction funding to speed up repairs?
Should universities tap unrestricted endowment income to fund seismic projects?
