Upcoming Regents Meeting Jan. 18-19

The Regents will be meeting in Riverside on January 18-19.  Their agenda is posted and looks rather tame.  No tuition discussion.  Some discussion of the state budget.  Seismic upgrades.  Proposal to move some MOP loan loss reserves - said to be in excess of needs - to the general budget.

Photo above shows the Regents visiting the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab in 1967.  As usual, we will eventually provide the audio of the meeting after it is received.  And as usual, we again raise the issue of why, since the audio is live streamed and recorded, the Regents website doesn't post the recordings.

UPDATE: The meeting might be more exciting than the tame agenda suggests: http://www.pe.com/local-news/local-news-headlines/20120112-region-protests-planned-for-uc-regents-meeting-in-riverside.ece
