Cat has let go of tongue

As blog readers will know, it was only last Saturday when yours truly wondered why the Regents weren't scheduling one of their closed-door meetings to discuss the conflict with the feds, after DOJ filed its recent lawsuit against UC/UCLA.*

Well, two days after that posting, guess what appears on the Regents' website: announcement of a closed-door meeting tomorrow. The notice is dated Feb. 28, the very day we raised the issue, but it wasn't actually posted until today, or possibly late yesterday.

February 28, 2026

TO THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA:

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, March 3, 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 5:00 p.m.

(Advisory Group members: Regents Anguiano, Cohen, Hernandez, Matosantos, Milliken, Reilly, Robinson, Sarris, and Sures)

Unlike, past closed-door meetings, a full hour is allotted in contrast to the thirty minutes allotted to some of the past meetings. So now the question is, will the closed door be green?
