The Regents have been and will be meeting this week

The Regents are getting together this week, mainly in closed session or non-streamed session at Lake Arrowhead. The Working Group on Equitable Student Employment Opportunities which was set up to deal with the issue of UC job opportunities for undocumented students met yesterday (Sept. 5) in an entirely closed session. No agenda was made public. 

Today and tomorrow (Sept. 6-7) the Regents are having a retreat at Lake Arrowhead. Today's closed segment, apart from public comment, is said to be employee relations and the rationale for it being closed is listed as collective bargaining matters. A later open, but not streamed, session will deal with online degrees and admissions. Tomorrow's session is said to be "Leadership Priorities: Reflections and Look Ahead."

Yours truly, of course, is not invited. But rest assured he has signed up to talk by phone at public comments tomorrow about his favorite topic: The improper cancellation of health insurance for survivors on the death of emeriti and retirees.
