We have already discussed part of what went on at the Regents on March 16: The Investment Committee and particularly the Blackstone-REIT matter.* However, apart from Investments (and closed sessioins), there were two open sessions of the full board, a brief open session of Compliance and Audit, and a meeting of Public Engagement and Development. Please refer to our earlier post on the Investments Committee for discussion of that session.*
The March 16th meetings began at the full board with public comments. Topics included caste discrimination, disabled students, trans students, potential closing of the anthropology library at Berkeley, penalties for students who stifle speech, rape treatment, affordable medicine, climate change, labor relations, CUCSA, and use of the LSAT. Student leaders (undergraduate and graduate) followed with discussions centered on affordability. Compliance and audit approved the audit plan for the current year. Public Engagement and Development reviewed community work related to the pandemic, disabled veterans, and other concerns by UC-San Francisco. UC lobbying in Washington, DC for such purposes as obtaining funding for the humanities was also reviewed. The community college transfer issue was discussed by President Drake who said that a uniform process would result in admissions mainly from those community colleges that were the major feeders to UC and the UC wanted a broader representation. Finally, the full board met again to approve recommendations by the various committees.
