A preliminary agenda for the Regents meetings of next week is now available and can be found below. The mysterious Pension Administration Project - no one seems to know what it is - will yet again be discussed behind closed doors in a closed session of the Compliance and Audit Committee. The project appears again and again on Regents agendas, always in closed sessions. Actuarial valuations of the various UC retirement plans will be discussed at the Finance and Capital Strategies Committee.
Finance and Capital Strategies will also be taking up the proposed Neuropsychiatric Replacement Hospital at UCLA.
Finally, after all the speculation, the UCLA move to the Big Ten conference will be discussed at a closed session of the full board on November 17. There will then be some action taken - or at least scheduled to be taken - at a following open session. Note that the closed discussion is labeled "Potential Legal Issues and Financial Impacts." Presumably, although we won't know for sure, this discussion will include the UC general counsel telling the Regents that, yes, they can override the campus decision that was taken pursuant to existing Regents' delegations of authority, but such a decision would invite costly litigation. What is not clear is what will be said about this in the open session that follows. Will the Regents just take a vote without any public discussion of the implications? We will see.
As noted in a post yesterday, UC is apparently going to spend big bucks to defend its proposed name change for UC-Hastings.* Given the vast dollar sums entailed in the Big Ten move, the Regents could end up spending substantially more on outside legal bills were they to void the UCLA decision. A revenue-sharing decision with Berkeley would be less controversial, but it's not clear why that option needs to be discussed behind closed doors with just the decision in public.
