Existing law establishes the University of California, under the administration of the Regents of the University of California, as one of the segments of public postsecondary education in the state. Existing law requires all meetings of the regents, defined to include the Board of Regents, the standing and special committees or subcommittees of the board, and an advisory board, advisory commission, advisory committee, advisory subcommittee, study group, task force, or similar multimember advisory body of the board that has continuing subject matter jurisdiction in the area of compensation, to be subject to the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act, except as provided.

This bill would define, for purposes of being subject to the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act, the “Regents of the University of California” to also include the Academic Senate of the University of California, Board of Admissions and Relations with Schools.
