Somewhere Inside Murphy Hall Is the Hotel Business Plan…

Byuclafaculty
But although it has been apparently sent to the Regents for approval, requests for it remain unanswered and unfulfilled.

Today, the UCLA Faculty Association renewed its request from last November:

Text of email sent to Aimee M. Felker
Director Records Management & Information Practices, Corporate Financial Services
3-18-12
Dear Ms Felker,
Lots of time has passed, and you have not responded to the request of the FA for a public document, the business plan for the proposed UCLA Conference and Guest Center. I have offered several times since your communication to pick up the document in your office, but you have not responded.
I would like to pick up the document on Monday, March 26 at 1:00 pm.
Please confirm that the material will be ready at this time.
Below is a link to the FA blogsite, where we mention our request and the fact that the document has now been made public. If you go to the search site and type in “Business Plan for Hotel/Conference Center,” you’ll see that many of our readers, both campus and statewide, are interested in seeing the business plan.
Sincerely,
Susan Gallick, Executive Director, Faculty Association at UCLA

Dig a Deeper Hole?

Byuclafaculty

The plaintiffs in the case against the UCLA Grand Hotel have filed an amended brief.  You can read it at the link below.  There are actually two cases, one involving environmental and other matters and another regarding the tax issue.  The environmental case will be heard in September.  And there is legal skirmishing around the tax case. The tax issue is basically that if the hotel is a commercial operation, it has to pay taxes just as would any other hotel.  There is also an issue of whether the Regents can run a commercial enterprise and, if that’s what they…
