Information on the specifics of the agenda of the upcoming
Sept. 15-17 Regents meeting (not counting today’s meeting of the Committee on Investments)
is now posted.
Some highlights:
The complex public-private partnership for building out the
UC-Merced campus continues as an agenda item. http://regents.universityofcalifornia.edu/regmeet/sept15/j1.pdf
Also continuing is a push to grant more de facto autonomy to the various medical/hospital enterprises: http://regents.universityofcalifornia.edu/regmeet/sept15/j2.pdf
What was originally going to be a discussion of antisemitism
back in July (but delayed to September) has been broadened to a discussion of
intolerance on campus. In its original form, there was to be discussion of
endorsing the State Dept. definition of antisemistism. There now is a statement
of generalized examples of intolerance, but it also includes a proviso that the
examples are not to be used for discipline: The
statement is intended to reflect the principles of the Regents of the University
of California and shall not be used as the basis to discipline students, faculty,
or staff. http://regents.universityofcalifornia.edu/regmeet/sept15/e4.pdf
An article about this item appears in today’s LA Times: http://www.latimes.com/local/education/la-me-higher-learning-uc-israel-20150909-story.html
The Regents are being asked retroactively to endorse a fund
raising campaign for UCLA that has been going on since 2014. http://regents.universityofcalifornia.edu/regmeet/sept15/e2.pdf
Policies with regard to funding the pension plan are to be
discussed. (This is independent of the Committee of Two’s deal regarding yet
another tier in the pension program.) Not all the attachments for the funding
plan are posted. http://regents.universityofcalifornia.edu/regmeet/sept15/f7.pdf

This proposed change would remove Academic Senate representation from the committee, fwiw.
