Settling Pepper

Among the various items on the Regents agenda in September is a review of litigation affecting UC. Included is a tentative settlement of the UC-Davis pepper spray incident. Another bit of litigation from the "occupy" demonstrations at Davis involving a bank branch there is also up for discussion.

The Japanese Garden litigation is on the list as is the UCLA lab fire incident involving a faculty member being prosecuted by the local DA (and defended by the university).  And there is a lawsuit arising from demonstrations at Berkeley.

The full list is at http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/regents/regmeet/sept12/finx.pdf but note that all of this discussion will take place in closed session.  Assuming the pepper settlement is approved, it will be made public.

A story on the pepper settlement can be found at:
