You may have seen this headline in the Bruin.* Transparency always seems to be a Good Thing. But it doesn't really work in negotiations. It's not uncommon in high-profile labor negotiations, for example, for the parties to agree not to leak what is going on and to issue joint (usually laconic) statements along the way.
On the other hand, the public in such cases knows that negotiations are occurring. In the UC/UCLA/feds case, we can surmise that there are negotiations. But even that is not being officially revealed. So, there won't be transparency. But there could be less opaqueness.
