Public comments covered graduate student housing, student rape kits, the upcoming plan for UC to hire undocumented students, pension contributions, staff pay, and Black student recruitment and a proposed endowment for Black students. In addition, as blog readers will know, yours truly was able to announce a three-part resolution to the problem of improper survivor cancellations under the UC retiree health plan.*
After public comments, Regent Leib previewed later topics including the report from the Entrepreneurship committee. Student leaders talked about the proposed Black student endowment and problems of disabled students, notably regarding safety in student housing.
Later in the day, there was a report on artificial intelligence. Behind closed doors, there was discussion of the continuing issue of the departure of UCLA to the Big Ten and UC-Berkeley to the ACC. So far, no one has leaked substantial information about what went on in those discussions. But the new committee dealing with athletics concerns will be meeting later this month, so some further information may come out of that event.
