We have noted that the Regents painted themselves into a corner regarding their strategy of having a "balanced" selection of a student regent. See our prior posts if you have not kept up with this issue. However, recent student editorials will help the Regents out of the corner when they meet next week:
From the Daily Cal:
Despite the controversy surrounding the appointment of student
regent-designate nominee Avi Oved, we believe that the UC Board of
Regents should still confirm him in July. But the occasion of his
confirmation has shed a light on the failings of the UC student
government elections process.

From the Daily Bruin:
...As much as some students may be insisting otherwise, this
conversation is not primarily about campaign finance. It’s about the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict and it’s about divestment. It’s about Oved
and where he has always stood in this debate. I’m tired of that conversation. It goes nowhere and gets nothing done...
