Audios of Regents Meeting of 7-15-10 Available

Byuclafaculty


I was only able to record the 7-15-10 session of the Regents and not the earlier days. As a result, the recording did not include the discussion of online education referenced in prior postings. The 7-15-10 meeting of the UC Regents was divided into 5 sessions. The first was public comment. Included was a comment by AFT on a survey taken by the union, complaints of anti-Semitism and anti-Arab discrimination. The second was on career/technical education. The third was a report on audit processes. Included was a discussion of data security and diversity standards. The third session involved the health enterprise. Included was discussion of the arrangement with LA County on Martin Luther King hospital, the new federal health law, and state need for medical personnel. The fourth session dealt with executive incentive plans. There are 10 videos with audio only. They run about 14 minutes each. (The recordings are technically videos with a still picture.)

Note: The Regents apparently did not receive the anticipated report of the Post-Employment Benefits Task Force at the July meeting.

Regents 7-15-10 audios:

Part 1 Public comments

Part 6 Health continues

UC denies filmmaker’s right to tape meeting
Sacramento Bee
Published Friday, Jul. 16, 2010

SAN FRANCISCO — University of California regents refused to allow a filmmaker into a public meeting with his camera because he didn’t have a news media credential and wouldn’t give his name, apparent violations of California’s open meeting law.

Ric Chavez, who is working on a documentary, was barred from Thursday’s meeting. UC spokeswoman Lynn Tierney says the regents never allow anyone but the press to record public meetings.

California law says any person attending a public meeting of a state agency has the right to record the proceedings with an audio or video recorder. Additionally, state officials cannot require attendees to identify themselves.

Chavez has been working on the documentary for a year. He says he will eventually post it online and offer it to TV.

    UCLA-FA files Unfair Labor Practices charge against UC

    Byadmin

    LOS ANGELES, CA (June 5, 2024) – On June 3rd, the UCLA Faculty Association (UCLAFA) filed unfair labor practice (ULP) charges against the University of California (UC) to vindicate faculty rights to protest, organize, and exercise academic freedom. The ULP charges the UC for UCLA’s failure to uphold, and their choice to interfere with, faculty’s legally protected rights during and after the recent UCLA Palestine Solidarity Encampment. This is the fourth organization to file a ULP against the UC in the wake of its actions at UCLA in late April and early May, following charges by UAW, UC-AFT and AFSCME….

    Jerry Brown Looks for an Online Course that Requires No Human Interaction

    Byuclafaculty

    At the Regents meeting of January 22, 2014, Gov. Brown seems to be searching for an online course that requires no human interaction.  Such a course, he reasons, could have unlimited enrollment because it is completely self-contained.  He gets some pushback from UC Provost Dorr, who thinks courses should have such interaction.  You can hear this excerpt at the link below.  The entire meeting of the Committee on Educational Policy of the Regents was posted yesterday.[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tYFLJvrE3g?feature=player_detailpage]

    Listen to Part of the Regents Afternoon Session of 1-22-2014

    Byuclafaculty

    As we have noted in numerous prior posts, the Regents refuse to archive their meetings beyond one year.  So we dutifully record the sessions in real time.  Below is a link to part of the afternoon session of Jan. 22.  This segment is mainly the Committee on Educational Policy.  Gov. Brown was in attendance.  We will separately (later) provide links just to certain Brown segments.  But for now, we provide a continuous recording. There was discussion of designating certain areas of UC-Merced as nature reserves, followed by discussion of a new telescope.  The discussion then turned to online ed and…

    Chinese Dissent at UCLA

    Byuclafaculty

    UCLA has a variety of exchange arrangements with China as the image of the UCLA Confucius Institute on the left suggests.  While these arrangements can be mutually beneficial, the university can also find itself in a difficult position when and if things go wrong.  The NY Times carries a story dated Feb. 9 about a professor from Peking University who was a visiting professor at UCLA.  While here, he made some statements that ultimately led to his discharge at his home university and to quasi-exile in the U.S.: …Peking University allowed Professor Xia to leave China to become a visiting…

    Travel Focus Misses the Money Train

    Byuclafaculty

    You may have seen the article in yesterday’s Daily Bruin about UCLA tightening up its rules on travel reimbursements.  Why the tightening up? …Public records documenting the travel expenses of the university’s top brass, obtained and published by the Center for Investigative Reporting in August, drew national scrutiny last summer for the luxurious travel accommodations of UCLA’s leadership, sometimes in violation of University policy. The accommodations and pricy travel arrangements bloated the university’s travel budget by hundreds of thousands of dollars… Full story at http://dailybruin.com/2014/02/04/months-after-controversy-ucla-clarifies-travel-guidelines/ The problem with the original story is that it focuses on budget dust compared to…

    Listen to the Regents Meeting of Jan. 23, 2014

    Byuclafaculty

    We continue indefinitely archiving the Regents meetings since – as numerous prior posts have complained – the Regents view an “archive” as lasting only one year.  Below is a link to the meeting (open sessions only) of Jan. 23, 2014.  We have previously posted the morning session of Jan. 22.  The afternoon session of that date – which runs well over 4 hours –  will eventually also be done.  But it takes over 4 hours to do it so yours truly will get to it when he can. At the Jan. 23 meeting, there were public comments involving (among other…
