Preliminary Regents Agenda Posted

A preliminary agenda for the Regents meeting of May 16-18 has been posted. The basic outline is there; at this posting, however, the detailed attachments are not available.

Two UCLA construction projects are slated for review:

Finance and Capital Strategies Committee

F7: Action Approval of Preliminary Plans Funding, Student Housing for Five Sites, Los Angeles Campus

F8: Action Approval of Budget, Standby Financing, Interim Financing, and Design following Action Pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act, Warner Graduate Art Studio Renovation and Addition, Los Angeles Campus

There apparently will be a closed session review of a lawsuit brought against the university in connection with the recent Ann Coulter affair.

Compliance and Audit Committee (closed session) 

YOUNG AMERICA’S FOUNDATION, et al. v. JANET NAPOLITANO, et al. – Complaint Filed – Constitutional Claims Regarding Campus Speakers – Berkeley

The case is available on the web at http://www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/ann-coulter-suit.pdf.

As blog readers will know, Regents chair Lozano promised at a legislative hearing to set up some kind of independent review in connection with the recent state audit. It's not clear at this point what that will be or when it will be presented.
