	Vacant spots on UC Board of Regents raise questions, concerns - THE DAILY BRUIN ONLINE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Vacancies on the board are common, but some say they are a matter of concern as the regents face a battery of important decisions, and some debate whether the board's composition represents the diversity of the state and the University of California.
		When appointing regents, the governor is advised by a 12-member selection committee which includes several members of the state Legislature, a UC alumnus, a faculty member, the chair of the regents board and a student.
		Incoming chairman Regent Gerald Parsky is the chairman of the Bush campaign in California, and Regent Richard Blum, the incoming vice chair, is Dianne Feinstein's husband and a trustee of the Carter Center.

	Saban quits UC Board of Regents \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		UC regents are considered the most prestigious of gubernatorial appointments.
		In a one-paragraph letter Saban sent to UC late last week, he wrote he was resigning for "personal reasons." Saban, who declined to comment, said through a spokesman that this is a decision he'd been pondering for many months.
		The average for the board was 74 percent attendance.

	The Regents of the University of California
		Regents and Officers of the University of California

	Fiat Pax :: Let There Be Peace
		Seven of these are ex-officio regents who serve by virtue of their positions – the governor, the lieutenant governor, the speaker of the Assembly, the superintendent of public instruction, the president of the UC, and the president and vice president of the UC alumni association.
		He said governors may be able to appoint a more diverse board than would be elected – the University of Colorado's board of regents, for example, which is elected, is all white – and can appoint community leaders who will bring prestige to the university but would not want to stand for elections.
		And minutes from regents meetings in 1974-1975 show that when the regents first voted to have faculty representatives on the board, there was no discussion as to whether such representative should have votes.

	UC pay dispute puts focus on regents' role (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Empowered with overseeing one of the world's most prestigious public universities, the UC Board of Regents is a predominantly wealthy and inaccessible cadre that makes decisions largely by relying on the university president, the top administrator who serves at its behest.
		Regent John Mooresrecently called his own group "about as relevant as furniture when it comes to governing." And a report revealed last year that between 2000 and 2003 several members missed one third or more of their meetings.
		As former UC President Clark Kerr documented in his memoir "The Gold and Blue," one of the earliest examples of the regents loosening their powers of centralization was in 1891, when they gave the president the power to hire and fire janitors, but only if he "promptly" reported it.

	UC Board of Regents Plans Out Affirmative Action Ban (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		At their monthly meeting in San Francisco, the regents voted unanimously to eliminate preferences in undergraduate admissions beginning with students applying for entry to the spring 1998 term.
		There was little discussion and the vote came so quickly that the governor, who made a special appearance at the meeting to underscore the board's policy-making authority, missed his chance to weigh in because he was in the restroom.
		Wilson and Connerly have maintained that the policy approved by the board last July was intended to be put in place beginning with students entering in the fall 1997 term.

	A Look at the Regents of the University of California
		Leach was appointed as a Regent in 1990.
		This situation, not unique to UC but shared by universities across the country, is a major contradiction in principle, and a frequent embarrassment to many of us who devote our lives to the university; but for the most part we adopt the habit of ignoring this problem or just accepting the status quo as unchangeable.
		Dolores Huerta, appointed as a UC regent by Governor Gray Davis in September 2003, is a co-founder of the United Farm Workers union.

	Endnotes/University Governance...& the UC Board of Regents
		After its October 1919 faculty proposals to the Regents for strengthening the authority of the Senate were accepted by the Board in June of the following year, a fundamental alteration in the distribution of power in the University had taken place.
		Only the board of regents 'governs.'" This position on the nature of governance at the University of California was reaffirmed by Regent Connerly in "UC is Right to Abolish Race-Based Preferences," Sacramento Bee, December 1, 1995.
		Winans, a San Francisco Lawyer and regent since 1873, was one of the many "non-partisan" delegates put forward by a coalition of Democrats and Republicans to ward off of a challenge from the Workingman's Party and its allies from the Grange for control of the Constitutional Convention.

		CONCLUSION: Ninety-four percent of UC's annual expenditures for administration comes from sources of funds which are completely controlled by and spent at the discretion of the UC Board of Regents.
		Thus, the Board of Regents has now been presented formally with the allegation that the University of California is wasting great amounts of money on a bloated bureaucracy that has gone unchecked for decades.
		Regent Campbell had one question about some data shown on a graph I had handed out; but aside from that, there was utter silence.

		A new tuition exemption program will be enacted by the UC Board of Regents to allow some illegal immigrants and nonresident students to pay in-state fees if they attended a California high school for at least three years and graduated.
		The UC Regents conditionally passed the exemption at a board meeting Jan. 16.
		The UC Regents contend that the exemption's intention is not to provide easier access to education for illegal immigrants or minorities.

	Crisis in higher education / UC's invisible regents
		UC has already implemented his proposal to send thousands of UC eligible freshmen to community colleges for the first time in the university's history.
		In a recent article in Forbes magazine, he accused UC of ''thwarting the law,'' ''manipulating the admissions system'' and ''blatantly discriminating against Asians.'' Instead of being an advocate for the university at this moment of crisis, he has emerged as one of its toughest critics.
		Judith Hopkinson, one of a handful of regents who actually talks to the press, insisted that her fellow board members have been active, although she herself has not been to Sacramento because she doesn't know Schwarzenegger personally.

	Background: How UC Established Domestic Partner Benefits Despite Opposition by Governor Wilson
		On November 21, 1997, the UC Board of Regents voted 13-12 to provide domestic partner benefits to UC employees in committed relationships who cannot marry, whether because they are of the same sex or are related by blood.
		She offered an amendment that would have excluded retired UC employees from domestic partner benefits, stating that inclusion of such employees was inconsistent with the argument that benefits are necessary to make UC competitive in recruiting and retaining high-quality faculty and staff.
		He questioned whether the Regents were circumventing the will of the legislature and the governor by adopting domestic partners benefits and worried that "we are on the cusp of identifying another class" and discriminating against it, namely, unmarried heterosexual couples.

	Washington Week: Student Voices (O)
		Regent Adam Rosenthal, who initiated discussion on divestment in November, praised the involved students as well as the members of the regents' special committee that formulated to look into the issue.
		UC officials would not disclose the total amount of assets during the Mar. 16 public session, but they assured regents that divestment would not have a significant impact on the UC's overall portfolio.
		UC divestment cannot proceed, however, until the California Legislature passes a law indemnifying the university and the individual regents for any legal action arising from their decision.

		The UC Board of Regents took steps to fulfill its promise of fiscal accountability made to state senators by releasing reports on compensation practices of four university executives last week.
		UC President Robert C. Dynes and UC Board of Regents Chairman Gerald L. Parsky exercised powers of interim authority to push the release of the documents quickly, and without full board approval, in the hopes of appeasing public and legislative demand for accountability.
		Regents presented senators with a pay study that showed that UC salaries were far behind market value.

	Special Report -- Inside the UC Regents
		If the regents are, indeed, "untouchable" and "not accountable," a major reason is to be found in Article 9, Section 9, of the California Constitution, which, since 1868, has allowed the Board of Regents to run the University of California with considerable autonomy.
		Regents and UC officials say this relative immunity from public accountability has made it possible to build the finest public university system in the land.
		Regents of two and three decades ago were "very conservative, but they really cared about the university, they took a lot of pride in what they were doing," said Herbert F. York, a former chancellor at UC San Diego and also former director of the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory.

	Repeal of Affirmative Action Ban Planned by U. of California Regent, 2/22/99
		Regent William Bagley, who has repeatedly questioned the board's July 1995 resolution to end race and gender preferences in hiring and the admissions process, said he intends to introduce a plan to repeal the board's ban in the upcoming months.
		Because Gov. Gray Davis became California's first Democratic governor in 16 years last month, as well as a voting member of the board of regents, his power to appoint four new regents to the board in the next few months could mean a facelift for the board and result in more support for Bagley's proposal.
		While Bagley acknowledged Friday that a vote to rescind the UC system's ban on race and gender preferences could not change the admissions process, it could be a symbolic move to take the UC system out of "the cortex of this raw political issue" and allow students of all backgrounds to feel welcome," he said.

	UCSF Today - Regents Cut 2002-03 Budget, Approve Student Fee Hike
		Addressing a growing state budget problem, UC Board of Regents yesterday (Dec. 16) adopted mid-year cuts in non-instructional areas of the University's budget and approved a $135-per-quarter student fee increase that will take effect with the spring 2003 term.
		In total, the budget shortfall facing the UC system is now approximately $480 million, and it is likely to grow much larger next year.
		The Legislature has not yet acted on the governor's mid-year proposals, but the Regents ratified them in recognition of the fact that the University now has only half a year to achieve the specified savings and in order to give students and their families as much notice as possible regarding the new fee levels.

	DAILY BRUIN ONLINE
		University officials are divided over an e-mail written by UC Board of Regents Chairman John Moores which suggests the University of California is violating state law in its admissions process and calls for an independent review of UC admissions.
		Some officials, especially UC Berkeley Chancellor Robert Berdahl, also criticized Moores for remarks he has made in public which were critical of UC admissions, saying they had damaged the university's reputation and offended students with low SAT scores who had been admitted to Berkeley.
		At its March meeting, the board voted 8-6 to reaffirm the university's commitment to comprehensive review and to state that "the views in UC admissions policies expressed by John Moores, as chairman" do not represent the views of the entire UC Board of Regents, according to the resolution.

	UC May Streamline Salary-Setting Process Pay
		The regents also will be asked to adopt a new compensation plan for the five UC medical schools that would improve the retirement packages for doctors, among the highest-paid employees in the UC system.
		UC specialists and physicians-turned-executives at the system's medical schools are in a different league from the usual academician.
		UC officials said those raises, ranging from $19,500 to $27,500, are needed on top of last year's average raise of 18% to close the salary gap between UC chancellors and their counterparts at 26 comparable U.S. universities.

	UC Regents discuss Sudan investments, UCLA International Institute
		For the first time since students began their campaign for divestment from Sudan earlier this year, the UC Board of Regents publicly discussed its investments in the country in a meeting at UCLA on Wednesday.
		Dozens of students were at the meeting to show the regents their support for divestment in Sudan due to the actions of the government, which have been labeled as genocide.
		And even if the UC were to make investment decisions for so-called social reasons, it would be faced with a multitude of different groups clamoring for divestment from one area or another.

	ES: September 1995
		Under 1988 guidelines, the UC sought to enroll students "geographically, culturally, racially, economically and socially diverse as the state itself." Despite this goal, Latinos and African-Americans continue to be under-represented in the UC schools, which are the most selective of California's public higher education system.
		A California medical school, UC Davis, was the setting for the lawsuit that established the current legal standard for affirmative action--the Bakke case, in which Allan P. Bakke contended he was denied admission because space had been reserved for a less-qualified minority student.
		Regents of the UC, in 1978, the Supreme Court held that it was permissible to take race into account in admissions so long as there were no quotas and race was not the sole or primary factor.
