All in 30 Minutes - Part 5

For the record, the Regents had another of their 30-minute, closed-door meetings on Tuesday to discuss the ongoing conflict with the federal government:

Because the membership of the Advisory Group on Research and Programs Funding Legal Issues (“Advisory Group”) includes five members of the Regents’ Governance Committee, there exists the potential for having present a quorum of a Regents’ Committee when the advisory committee meets. This notice of meeting is served in order to comply fully with pertinent open meeting laws. On Tuesday, January 6, 2026, there will be a Closed Session, Special Meeting of the Regents’ Governance Committee concurrent with the Advisory Group to discuss Research and Programs Funding Legal Issues (Closed Session Statute 

Citation: Litigation [Education Code section 92032(b)(5)].) The meeting will convene at 4:00 p.m. at 1111 Franklin Street, Oakland and adjourn at approximately 4:30 p.m. (Advisory Group members: Regents Anguiano, Cohen, Hernandez, Leib, Matosantos, Milliken, Reilly, Robinson, Sarris, and Sures)

One can speculate that the brief time duration for this sequence of meetings is because nothing has really happened and the meetings are just check-ins. But since they are closed-door, it's just speculation.
