Watch the Regents Meeting of Jan. 18, 2022

The UC Regents met on Tuesday, January 18, 2022. Public comments included departmental posting of an anti-Israel statement, climate change, disabled students and COVID, student financial aid, nurse staffing, access for disabled students, cost of textbooks, and COVID testing of healthcare workers and return to work. 

After the public comments Regents Sures and Lansing said they were concerned about the anti-Israel statement that was posted on the UCLA Asian American Studies Dept. website and asked the chair to schedule discussion for a future meeting.

The Health Services Committee approved an executive appointment (and pay) for a Chief Executive Officer at UC-San Francisco. Also approved was funding for improvements in a building leased by that campus. The National Labs committee then looked at Lawrence Berkeley and Los Alamos labs. Additional funding was approved for the Southern California Hub, an effort to include campuses in southern California in research of the labs.

As always, we preserve recording of the Regents session since the Regents delete their recordings after one year for unknown reasons.
