The Regents Will Be Meeting March 15-17

We have noted certain items below in the preliminary agenda that may be of special interest:

Agenda - March 15-17, 2022

The Regents of the University of California and its committees will meet on March 15-17, 2022 at UCSF Mission Bay and by teleconference. In accordance with California Government Code §§11133 regarding the COVID-19 public health emergency, some members of the Board will participate via Zoom.
