James B. Milliken, currently chancellor of the U of Texas system, has been selected as the new UC president. He was formerly chancellor of CUNY and president of the U of Nebraska and has legal background. See: https://www.utsystem.edu/chancellor/biography.
The open meeting started with public comments, mainly focused on UPTE labor relations issues such as short staffing and pay. Also mentioned were mental health services for students and innovation and tech transfer. Then Regents Chair Reilly thanked the search committee and President Drake. Milliken attended and made remarks as did President Drake and some Regents.
Milliken takes office on August 1.
The meeting can be seen at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPNyejv26Cc. We will later - as we do with all Regents meeting - preserve the recording since the Regents have no fixed policy regarding retention.
