8:30 am Board (open session - includes public comment session)
9:30 am Public Engagement and Development Committee (open session)
Includes a discussion with State Senator Monique Limón in which she will
share her insights on how the UC can work with policymakers in Sacramento to
pursue policies that benefit our students, workers, patients, faculty and the
state as a whole.
BACKGROUND
Senator Limón is a UC Berkeley alumna and co-chairs the UC Legislative Roundtable.
Senator Limón served two terms in the Assembly before being elected to the
Senate this past November. Prior to being elected to the State Legislature in
2016, she served as assistant director of the McNair Scholars Program, and the
director for diversity recruitment and retention in the Graduate Division at UC
Santa Barbara. In the Senate, Senator Limón currently serves as Chair of the
Banking and Financial Institutions Committee, and as a member of the Senate
Health Committee and the Committee on Natural Resources and Water. The Senator
is also currently serving on the Special Committee on the Pandemic Emergency
Response. Senator Limón has long been a champion of student basic needs, among
other issues, including need-based student financial support, that benefit UC
and its students. She was instrumental in UC receiving $2.5 million in one-time
funds for the hunger-free campus initiative. This initial investment paved the
way for the $15 million in ongoing funds for student basic needs, which she
also supported, that UC now receives from the State.
11:30 am Governance Committee (open session)
The report of the Regents Working Group on Innovation Transfer and
Entrepreneurship recommends the establishment of a Regents special committee in
order to ensure that its goals and recommendations are successfully
implemented.

Concurrent Meetings
1:00 pm Academic and Student Affairs Committee (open session)
This item provides an overview of the University of California’s
Eligibility in the Local Context (ELC) program. Since 2000, this program has
allowed UC to offer admission to students from high schools throughout the
state and to recognize outstanding academic performance relative to the
educational context and opportunities available at individual high schools in
California. In its recent report regarding UC admissions, the California State
Auditor noted that UC had discontinued the practice of actively reaching out to
schools not participating in ELC, and as a consequence, was potentially denying
students access to UC. This item describes how UC is addressing the audit
recommendation, as well as the current context and scope of ELC school
participation and admission outcomes as a result of the ELC program.
1:00 pm Finance and Capital Strategies Committee (closed session)
Upon end of closed
Finance and Capital Strategies Committee (open session)
The University of California Office of the President (UCOP) is submitting a
budget proposal for Fiscal Year 2021-22 (FY21-22) during a time that the State
of California and the UC system are undergoing economic recovery from the
COVID-19 pandemic. The proposed budget remains conservative in prioritizing and
budgeting revenues and expenditures, but also reflects renewed optimism as the
State has signaled it will restore $43.2 million in three direct State
appropriations.
Thursday, May 13
8:30 am Board (open session - includes public comment session)
This item describes a proposed multi-year plan for three systemwide student
charges—tuition, the Student Services Fee
(SSF), and Nonresident Supplemental Tuition (NRST)—and the estimated increases
in student financial aid and campus resources that the plan would generate. Under the plan, adjustments to these charges would be assessed on a cohort
basis for incoming undergraduate students and
on a uniform basis for graduate students, effective fall 2022. The features of the proposed cohort model for undergraduate students reflect
the discussions of a systemwide working group on
cohort-based tuition and were shared with the Regents at the November 14, 2019 and January 22, 2020 meetings of the Board. A similar plan
was brought to the Board for action in
March 2020, but consideration of the plan was deferred due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
