Watch the Afternoon Meeting of the Regents: Jan. 24

Continuing our catching up with the portions of the Regents meetings of last week, we now move to the afternoon of January 24th. We have already covered the discussion of departmental political statements which was the hot topic of that day. 

Beyond that topic, the Governance Committee approved appoints and pay for new head librarians at Berkeley and UCLA.

At Public Engagement and Development, there was discussion of a homeless initiative at UC-San Francisco. A survey found that 90% of homeless were from California and 75% were in their county of origin. Affordable housing provision was emphasized.

There was a government relations report which noted the deferral of the increment due to UC in the governor's budget to the following year, but with the usual gratitude expressed despite the violation of the compact. Issues expected in the legislature include athletics, AI, housing, and labor standards at UC. 

Finally, there was a presentation on the UC Advocacy Network (UCAN) and its lobbying for UC interests.

As always, we preserve recordings of Regents meeting indefinitely since the Regents have no policy concerning duration of retention.
