However, we noted in a previous post that the Regents were taking up the procedures for faculty discipline.* Concerns have been expressed by Regents - largely stemming from the encampments and protests that the procedures take too long. Back in November, the interim UCLA chancellor admitted that no faculty, student, or staff had been disciplined despite hundreds of complaints.
At its January 22 meeting, the Regents took up this issue as Item A5. After a lengthy presentation on existing procedures by Provost Newman and others, various Regents expressed concerns and dissatisfaction about the presentation and limits on regental participation. As we predicted, despite the lengthy presentation, there was no information on number of cases, actual (as opposed to official) processing times, etc. Below is an excerpt from the meeting. You will hear concerns about a perception that the review process was "setting parameters" on what could be discussed, that the current procedures were "not working," and of a need to "upend the system" rather than tweak it.
