LAO provides a reasonably positive review of UC procurement practices

In contrast to the state auditor's report that created controversy during 2017, UC ends the year with a reasonably positive report by the Legislative Analyst's Office (LAO) regarding its procurement practices. The legislature pushed for changes in practices in the three higher ed segments: community colleges, CSU, and UC.

LAO did have suggested changes for UC, however.
