Audio: Regents Committee on Compliance & Audit, May 5, 2011

The UCLA Faculty Assn. has been requesting recordings of Regents meetings. Again, it must be noted that although the Regents meetings are live-streamed, the recordings are not archived on the Regents website or elsewhere. Why that isn't done is unclear. However, below you will find a link to the audio of the May 5th meeting of the Regents Committee on Compliance and Audit.

Compliance and Audit encompasses both compliance with financial reporting as well as other matters. Various federal and state regulations and UC regulations require training on such matters as sexual harassment. Because of some racial incidents, an initiative on "campus climate" has also developed.

Early in the audio, Academic Council Chair Dan Simmons expresses some concerns about the non-privacy that Regental policy may impose in such areas as personal faculty emails and computer files. Advice from yours truly: It is best not to view emails as private and to maintain files that are private and not related to the university on non-university computers.

The meeting agenda is at http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/regents/regmeet/may11/audit.pdf

The full audio runs about an hour and three quarters:
