Relative costs in specialized occupational fields of study at the California State University and the University of California are evaluated by the California Postsecondary Education Commission. Procedures used by the universities to allocate resources among various technical and specialized fields of study are described. The analysis indicates that both universities have the option of adjusting support in areas such as faculty salaries and staffing ratios to respond to changing demands for educational services. The Commission recommends continuation of current state budget procedures, which are judged to be responsive to the funding needs of the many educational fields of study at the University of California and California State University, including technical fields. It is also concluded that the current system provides the flexibility needed to respond to changing student demands and to changes in systemwide and state educational priorities. Information is included on: faculty workload formulas that take into account level and mode factors, the current space standards for disciplines at California State University, and student-faculty ratios used in funding health sciences at the University of California. The text of a relevant state legislative resolution is appended. (SW)
