Still Secret

The Regents are meeting later today and, as blog readers will know, it's an off-cycle combined meeting of the Health Services Committee and a full board meeting on UCLA's move to the Big Ten.

As of this blog posting, other than listing that the discussion will be about a report on the Big Ten issue, there is no link to that report. In contrast, on the health part of the agenda - where UC-San Francisco's Parnassus project is up for approval - you will find an advance link to that 7-page report.*

We noted in a previous posting that in the July Regents meeting, when the Big Ten issue was taken up behind closed doors, the rationale for the closure was said to be "litigation." But as far as yours truly knows, there is no litigation pending on that matter. Normally, when litigation is to be discussed at the Regents in closed session, there is a listing of the pending cases.** This time, after the open session on the Big Ten, there is again a closed session justified as being about litigation.

The governor showed up at the last closed session on the Big Ten - which if nothing else suggests general public interest in that topic since he normally doesn't attend Regents meetings. Will he show up this time? Enquiring minds want to know, and would have liked to see the Big Ten report in advance of the session. But apparently they won't.
