I can't imagine anyone is happy about what's going on with the colleges and universities in California right now. It must really, really suck to know that this wasn't anything you and your colleagues did, or any of the students, but you're the ones paying the prices. And unfortunately, in your field, there's no "industry" option like there is for me. I've had some interviews at UCSD, and at least in the hard sciences, the funding comes completely from outside grants, so they're not concerned about funding cuts and the like. The lab heads might have teaching furloughs, but most of their money comes from NIH grants so they're not hit as hard as a lot of the professors are.
