*At the last Regents meeting, public commenters were kept waiting a very long time because the session started with a closed meeting that ran way over the planned duration. It was then decided that when a meeting started with a closed session, public comments in open session would first occur.

**From a statement from UC President Drake concerning the governor's May Revise budget proposal:

"We are also pleased that the Governor’s budget includes $100 million for the California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy at UCLA..."

The original plan was for a larger sum which was cut back when the governor first announced his budget plan for this fiscal year. See Figure 3, footnote b, in https://lao.ca.gov/Publications/Report/4684.
