Goings on this week - Wednesday, anyway - at the UC Regents:
Regents
Wednesday Agenda (Sept. 17, 2014)
8:30 am Committee of the Whole
Public
Comment Period (Likely comments on
fossil fuel divestment)
Remarks of
the Chairman of the Board
Remarks of
the President of the University
Remarks of
the Chair of the Academic Senate
9:30 am Committee on Educational Policy
Includes
discussion of sexual assault politices
10:45 am Committee on Finance
Capital
budget approval including some seismic upgrades at UCLA. The item, if you read it carefully, notes
that the sharp dichotomy between the general fund budget and the capital budget
no longer exists. UC can use general
funds for capital purposes. On the one
hand, this change gives UC some flexibility.
On the other, it is a symptom of the state’s backing away from support
to UC.
12:00 pm Lunch
1:00 pm Committee on Investments
Basically,
the agenda is a repeat of what went on in last week’s meeting of the committee,
i.e., investment in green stuff/not divestment in fossil fuels, and earnings on
the pension and other elements of the UC portfolio.
concurrent
with Special Meeting: Committee on Investments
The Regents
are to approve an investment vehicle for “innovations.” It is unclear whether this item refers to the
$1 billion for green investment or something else.
2:15 pm Committee on Compliance and
Audit
Included is
a presentation by the Berkeley and UCLA chancellors on NCAA rules. It is likely that this item has some
connection to the various lawsuits on behalf of college athletes.
3:00 pm Committee on Compensation
(closed session)
Big buck
salaries plus collective bargaining.
3:30 pm Committee on Compensation
(Regents only session)
Yet more big
buck salaries.
4:00 pm Committee on Educational Policy
(Regents only session)
Confidential
personnel matter involving a UC-San Diego faculty member.
4:15 pm Committee on Finance (Regents
only session)
Lawsuits:
There is a hint of some kind of settlement talks on the UCLA Japanese Garden
affair. There is an update on the
O’Bannon college athlete case against the NCAA.
A case yours truly would guess involves the attempt by a UCLA faculty
member to obtain admissions records related to Prop 209 and affirmative action
seems to be on the agenda. There is also reference to a lawsuit in which San
Francisco wants to collect parking taxes.
(City collecting taxes on a UC enterprise? Think UCLA Grand Hotel!)
4:45 pm Committee on Compliance and
Audit (Regents only session)
Vague
reference to personnel matters.
4:55 pm Board (Regents only session)
