UCLA/UC Throws in the Towel

After appealing a court decision requiring UCLA/UC to make public the 28-page memo (which turns out to have 27 pages) public unsuccessfully, the university throw in the towel and puts the memo online. (Maybe there is a missing cover page to make it 28. ???)

Here is a summary of what the memo entails. (We leave out the various detailed processes and procedures in the summary as well as what appear to be some duplications.):

UCLA will pay $1 billion plus $172 million to settle "claims."

There will be an administrator to oversee the agreement.
