The UC Regents will be having an in-person and teleconference series of meetings September 20-22, 2022 at UC-San Diego. The item that will attract the most attention is the UCLA/Big Ten move. However, it will be overtly discussed only in closed session on September 22 by the full board. The only reference in open session will be indirect: a general discussion of delegation of authority.
The Regents are likely to be told in the closed session what they have already been told. Yes, they could order Chancellor Block to rescind the Big Ten deal, but there would be legal consequences, probably costly.
Block had the delegated authority to act on behalf of the Regents in making the deal. We won't know if anyone from UCLA including the chancellor will be present in the closed session. In open session, the Regents could discuss why, in retrospect, it was a Bad Thing to have delegated the authority to Block and other chancellors and they could consider some alternative policy going forward.
Another highlight of the meeting, which will take place in closed session of the Finance and Capital Strategies Committee, is what appears to be discussion of UCLA acquiring a satellite campus. Blog readers will know that Chancellor Block discussed the possibility of a satellite campus at the last regular Regents meeting in July.
And finally, there is the mysterious Pension Administration Project, an item which appears regularly in closed sessions of the Compliance and Audit Committee. No one will quite say what that Project is.
