LA Times Discloses ID of Tenured UC Tenured Faculty Member Regents May Fire
Perhaps firing a tenured faculty member is not quite as explosive as the atomic test the Regents in the photo on the left are shown getting ready to attend (1956). Nonetheless, such firings are unusual. One suspects that there are other such cases that lead to resignation settlements that are not widely reported. From the LA Times today: The University of California Board of Regents is scheduled this week to discuss a highly unusual proposal to fire a veteran tenured professor and deny him the perks of emeritus retirement. The case involves a UC Riverside international finance professor who has…

A Different Meaning of Occupy at UCLA-Santa Monica Hospital
An earlier blog posting noted that the construction fencing had come down around the UCLA Santa Monica hospital’s new wing. According to the Santa Monica Mirror, there was an actual move-in of patients a week ago – the wing was officially occupied: There was a hive of activity at the new UCLA Medical Center, Santa Monica on Sunday as it officially opened its doors. As part of the opening, about 125 adult and pediatric patients were carefully transported into new hospital buildings on the Santa Monica campus, as well as the existing Merle Norman Pavilion… Full article at http://www.smmirror.com/#mode=single&view=33878 The…

Info on Plans for Japanese Garden Objects
UCLA provided a listing with pictures of various objects – with valuations – located at the Japanese Garden to the California Garden & Landscape History Society. The first page of the listing is shown above. Apparently, the original plan was to remove and perhaps sell all the objects. Now it appears that three objects will be removed and put in the Fowler Museum collection on campus. Numbers 11, 21, and 22 on the listing (see link below) are definitely to go to Fowler. Numbers 2 and 19 will, for the moment, remain in the garden and might later be removed…

UCLA Japanese Garden Web Address Has Disappeared
============================== As our prior blog post noted, plans are afoot to sell UCLA’s Japanese Garden. When you Google “Japanese Garden UCLA,” one of the first page entries is www.japanesegarden.ucla.edu. However, when you try to go to that address, the error message above appears. Since someone at UCLA has shut down the site, the sense that the sale of the garden is imminent is reinforced. If you go to the UCLA faculty handbook at http://www.apo.ucla.edu/facultyhandbook/5.htm the garden website is still listed:UCLA HANNAH CARTER JAPANESE GARDEN The two-acre UCLA Hannah Carter Japanese Garden, located one mile from campus in Bel Air, is an authentic…

Tuition Shares
The Legislative Analyst’s Office released the chart above on tuition shares of the state and the student. Economists will be quick to note that the figures refer to average costs, not marginal. Nevertheless, the chart tells a story. The full presentation (which notes that many lower income students pay no fees) is at http://www.lao.ca.gov/sections/higher_ed/FAQs/Higher_Education_Issue_05.pdf Note: Clicking on the link above may provide a sharper picture.
