Watch Off-Cycle Meeting of Regents Governance & Full Board: Oct. 18, 2022

The UC Regents held an off-cycle meeting yesterday to replace Provost Michael Brown who is stepping down. The replacement will be Katherine S. Newman who will be coming to UC in early January from the University of Massachusetts.

To accomplish this appointment, there was first a Zoom meeting of the Governance Committee which made the recommendation. Then the full board met to take a vote and confirm the appointment. Incoming Provost Newman made a few remarks at the end via cellphone.

Since this meeting was partly a public session, there was a public comment period in which only one speaker participated by phone. A parent of a UC-Berkeley student spoke about crime concerns on that campus.

As always, we preserve the recordings of Regents meetings since the Regents delete them after one year. A link can be found below:
