Watch the Morning Meetings of the Regents: July 21, 2021

The Wednesday morning session began with a full board meeting and public comments. Topics included UC-Berkeley housing, Hawaiian telescope, student advocacy, Native American health, labor relations, transfer students, tuition, student fees, undocumented students/DACA, Peoples Park, energy efficiency, lecturer reviews and related matters, and net neutrality. These comments were followed from the usual statements by the UC president and others.

Following the full board meeting, there were two concurrent sessions. The Complaint and Audit Committee heard a report on upcoming audit projects, notably including cybersecurity. 

The Public Engagement and Development Committee heard a report related to entrepreneurial and technology transfers including diversity issues. As might be expected, there was much good budget news. Among other items, it was reported that the new state budget had reverted to the old practice of a single UC budget including UCOP rather than making UCOP a separate line item. (UCOP had been made a line item several years ago after dissatisfaction was expressed about that office by the state auditor and the legislature.) A program of medical education was discussed along with coronavirus funding received from the federal government.

As always, we preserve the recordings of these meetings indefinitely since the Regents delete them after only one year. Below are the links:
