Yesterday, we posted a screenshot of the Regents' webpage showing the schedule of upcoming meetings.* We noted an odd omission. Although the Regents made a big deal about having a special meeting on December 14th to discuss UCLA's move to the Big Ten, no such meeting was to be found on the website. The meeting shown for December 14th was only for the Health Services Committee, a meeting that had been set long ago. The Big Ten meeting would have to be of the full board and it wasn't there.
Since that posting, however, a meeting was added, this one for December 5th. See the screenshot above. It is a full board meeting, but it is closed and the only topic listed when you click on it is collective bargaining. We can readily assume that the collective bargaining it refers to is that related to the student worker strike.
At their November meeting, apart from public comments, there were only a couple of very brief references to the strike in the open sessions.** Having an off-cycle special full board meeting to discuss collective bargaining is unusual and has to reflect growing concern by the Regents.
