Political Opposition to Tuition Increase at the Regents

The Regents will be voting on Thursday on a cohort plan for tuition increases supported by UC president Drake. Two of the ex officio political Regents - Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon and Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis - have announced their opposition to the plan. 

Governor Newsom hasn't been attending Regents meetings. If he did attend this time, it likely would only be in the context of voting "no," given the ongoing recall. 

Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond might well attend; he hasn't announced how he will vote (at least to the knowledge of yours truly).
