Student observer Audrey Jacobs (UC Davis) urged an accountability mechanism and disaggregated reporting so the university can identify which student groups use reporting resources and which do not. Jacobs emphasized the importance of anonymity and of support services for reporters, writing: “There must be some way to provide accountability through statistics of what sort of populations are reporting and whose cases are being investigated and prioritized.”

Catherine Criswell Speer, executive director of the systemwide office for civil rights, described the local implementation officer (LEO) role as the primary point of contact for anti‑discrimination reports and said campuses have focused on responding promptly to initial reports. Amy Lee, Deputy Provost for Systemwide Academic Personnel, told the committee that under a revised disciplinary process initial assessments for faculty conduct (Academic Personnel Manual §015) will be targeted for completion within 30 business days. Speer said investigatory work generally aims for completion in roughly 60–90 business days, and full adjudication, including hearings or appeals if needed, typically can extend to around six months depending on complexity.

Regent Siris asked for data on average time to full adjudication and how many classroom faculty complaints resulted in administrative action over the past five years. Administrators said central offices do not yet have all historical case‑level outcomes compiled but agreed to provide analysis and systemwide reporting back to the committee.

The committee also reviewed implementation steps required by state law referenced in the discussion. Administrators said they had defined a set of fields campuses will report to the system office and asked campuses to begin the new reporting this fall; an annual systemwide report to regents is planned. Provost Newman and other administrators said the campuses had also received grant funding last year for campus programming to rebuild dialogue and community trust and noted all faculty and staff are required to report complaints when they learn of alleged discrimination from students.

Next steps: administrators will implement the 30‑business‑day initial assessment expectation, finalize the set of data fields for fall reporting and return to the committee with the requested metrics on timelines and case outcomes.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Academic and Student Affairs Committee","oneSentenceSummary","Provost Newman and system civil‑rights staff told the committee the University will formalize a 30‑business‑day target for initial assessments of anti‑discrimination and faculty‑conduct reports and aims to produce systemwide case and timeline data beginning this fall.","taxTitle","University of California, Boards and Commissions, Executive, California","taxId",76757,"location","California","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":44,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6155760,"Seymour Marine Discovery Center showcases community‑driven climate resilience and science education",1251,2982000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5473623-66fc01c8c555dfd65ab85bd3a1fd13d9&start=2982&end=4233","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5473623-66fc01c8c555dfd65ab85bd3a1fd13d9/thumbnail_2982000.jpg","/articles/6155760/California/Seymour-Marine-Discovery-Center-showcases-communitydriven-climate-resilience-and-science-education","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6155760-390d7f4a3b8ff150f10c994093073f5f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770525457&Signature=g1d5adiPCYaCDwWVFxl3TUdj~jgPiZ-D5jiwCbCXROrl38vz-ZFShGQGpLVuE5G7W-Oh8gRvwBPVoF3RNO6tft1rUKbye~vHbatf9szAxAqCcJ-ys-hwMGJZhT2xrmC0fENwFFPyTesQJGLlLpPu71T8WxIP3GC4~WKiUWvrM2oY2pJQ7cwqwJwD4I2P5qX8iZuCt7K0Vs1b0Q8gHi62xh4K2A9D-VXtFARZeI3wVYS2qO7cmj5RtNrZKKP4kzGxrAU4gcaMnQeeiHIIwoUyCoJjPHpQUIe5kuWtK8R5sgwjgb3ZomIitlkKwRmzWuGvYSjmNrzrFniRFdmu2z~oww__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jonathan Hicken, executive director of the Seymour Marine Discovery Center at UC Santa Cruz, told the committee the center uses partnerships and public exhibits to connect campus science to local solutions for coastal climate resilience.

Hicken described three pillars — partnerships, exhibits that translate scientific findings into actionable information, and a flagship project to restore the skeleton of a blue whale — as the center’s model for public engagement. He said the Seymour Center has educated about 1.5 million people and 200,000 youth since its founding and that its location on the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary supports collaboration across the coastal science campus.

Examples cited in the presentation included outreach on ropeless crab pots to reduce whale entanglements, collaboration with UC researchers to translate tagging and migration research into visitor exhibits, and an innovative, climate‑conscious conservation project to repair and replicate portions of “Miss Blue,” a whale skeleton on campus. Hicken said the restoration will use a bone‑repair putty developed in collaboration with a UC San Diego researcher that is made from ground shrimp shells and will use 3‑D printing of replicas with recycled hospital trays from a local company.

Hicken highlighted the center’s partnership with the Amah Mutsun Band and the Amah Mutsun Land Trust to provide lab space and co‑develop stewardship projects at the coastal campus. Chairman Valentin Lopez of the Amah Mutsun Land Trust said the long relationship with UCSC provides tribal members access to research resources, library access and collaboration opportunities and helps restore identity and trust in the community.

Chancellor Lareve (UCSC) and other regents praised the work and urged replication of the center’s engagement model across campuses. The committee heard multiple requests that other UC campuses consider similar community‑engaged translation of research into public‑facing solutions.","UC Santa Cruz’s Seymour Marine Discovery Center presented examples of research translation and community engagement — from ropeless crab pots to a climate‑conscious restoration of a blue whale skeleton — and described partnerships with the Amah Mutsun Land Trust and local businesses.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6155766,"UC launches alumni outcomes dashboard to map top employers, occupations and evolving skills demand",1067,842000,1909000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5473623-66fc01c8c555dfd65ab85bd3a1fd13d9&start=842&end=1909","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5473623-66fc01c8c555dfd65ab85bd3a1fd13d9/thumbnail_842000.jpg","/articles/6155766/California/UC-launches-alumni-outcomes-dashboard-to-map-top-employers-occupations-and-evolving-skills-demand","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6155766-c4b451152863f2a539c1ed5d4d1f5577/orig.mp4?Expires=1770525457&Signature=EY8kwLg2BgH~nKIRYo5kc7Y3Z9CryPjtkFN0vRRIKhM8Tte5UF-BN9-KKhkRDRVfHOL8CFOlBiYXVrFn~B6WInYKE-rsJGrwVPZLW2FcD-v6zNVWhIEX82r4wFchFxqmZPhJdt~LoCPtotslH9mV4SeEGRcl-cQI5JM4jkj~~SKdNsGwMUkqXsWNPWwATJwp-NMhXdwQLcJnvgkOrCMzvaK35KKAgYzQXtiWA4KIAAbMI6VVAy39UyveHh4gG7~SQijq6Ce4anKhD6KqeCArCAVFqUwDsACnJaM8BNDZh4z-HSKhi88cDjUr-rgG06PtJW4wa2UFidpL4uZ2qoLo-g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Provost Newman and Vice President Pamela Brown presented a new University of California dashboard that maps alumni career pathways, top employers and employer skill demands using California Employment Development Department data and new analytics from Lightcast.

Brown said the dashboard identifies major employers hiring UC alumni across all 10 campuses and shows occupational pathways and changing skill requirements. Using examples from Apple, Disney and Kaiser Permanente, she illustrated how UC graduates work in engineering, entertainment, health care and management roles and how employer skills requests have shifted — for example toward Python and software development skills for some engineering roles.

The presentation emphasized three uses: helping students and career centers see where UC alumni work and what skills they report; giving deans and academic planners near‑real‑time labor market intelligence to align curricula; and supporting alumni engagement and fundraising by identifying employer clusters.

Regents suggested practical next steps. Regent Wang argued the system should invest more in alumni engagement and make data available by campus to support career centers and fundraising. Regent Anguiano recommended using the data for lifelong‑learning and continuing education offerings. Several regents asked that dashboards be integrated into campus advising and career planning so students can use them from early in their academic careers.

Provost Newman said the Office of the President will make campus‑filterable dashboards available so each campus can view its alumni outcomes and that this work will inform a “degree plus” initiative to strengthen students’ workforce preparation.

The administration said the dashboard was released in the UC Information Center earlier in the week and that communications teams have begun regional outreach and media placement to publicize the findings.","Provost Newman and Vice President Pamela Brown introduced a new UC Information Center dashboard that tracks top employers, occupations and skills of University of California alumni using state workforce data and Lightcast labor‑market analytics; regents discussed uses for academic planning, alumni engagement and lifelong learning.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":91,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6155770,"Committee delegates approval of small professional-degree tuition increases to university president",783,59000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5473623-66fc01c8c555dfd65ab85bd3a1fd13d9&start=59&end=842","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5473623-66fc01c8c555dfd65ab85bd3a1fd13d9/thumbnail_59000.jpg","/articles/6155770/California/Committee-delegates-approval-of-small-professional-degree-tuition-increases-to-university-president","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6155770-bf6d592aad1c1ed36ab7faff5a095a3e/orig.mp4?Expires=1770525457&Signature=HMnEwWn7YXWlyhQkNG07jjoAX3oZ3V9i3-~yQfH6~7vsicYoxmcT9Yu4Tr5CsAlD5xRMBiOubB8zHvBYYlUnmnGUnFn38rzjfQg6fkpCTXyWx9W8ROhBPcKWfjFMYgUCX9YjycM2UmqePKI0WO~Zn6dad~qK6a2lcZP8C4su6SHo9uArgAniibTbAXuLjYQMr0jBqkv6kcVe8jFAM0oQUXYQUibqTKNNRRPmNvU2aPeaNW79V~D2QOa7nBZJ2y01Nvc895q8PVIAiTH1g~-4k5ErrIEKbXeETZ9uh-FWnOfuIHmT3aygvFp1Mj9bnBCidR-X08p9RKJt47oFf5CGpw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Academic and Student Affairs Committee approved a delegation of authority allowing the University president to approve multi‑year professional degree supplemental tuition (PDST) plans that seek increases of 3% or less for California residents or 5% or less for nonresidents.

Provost Newman told the committee the change is intended to “streamline some of our administrative procedures across the UC system” while preserving the same intensive review of proposals. The delegation, if implemented, would apply to PDST proposals submitted to the Office of the President beginning in the fall of 2025. Programs proposing their first PDST assessment or asking for increases greater than those thresholds would continue to require regental review and approval.

Supporters described the change as a modest time‑saving measure that would not remove the Office of the President’s rigorous review standards. Opponents said the board would lose visibility into program demographics, growth and equity impacts and that the committee should retain oversight during a time of student financial stress. Regent Park said she was “not actually in favor and do not want to support any increases in PDST, given the situation that we know our students will be in.” Regent Hernandez said programs under the 3%/5% threshold “can be under the radar” and worried about checks and balances.

The motion passed in a roll call vote. Recorded votes announced during the meeting showed Anguiano, Bachelor, Lieb, Sarris and Wang voting yes; Brooks, Hernandez and Park voting no; the motion was declared approved.

The committee discussed implementation details the provost described: multiyear plans may be up to five years and must specify how increases are applied (for example, a 3% increase annually or a 3% increase in year one then flat years thereafter). The provost and administration said delegated proposals would continue to undergo the same iterative review at UCOP that is intended to safeguard access, inclusion and affordability.

Committee members asked for continued reporting and visibility. Provost Newman and staff proposed an annual report to the board containing demographic and program‑level information so regents retain systemwide oversight even where approval is delegated.

Next steps: The delegation will take effect for proposals submitted to UCOP in fall 2025 if the board’s action is finalized and administrative implementation follows the timeline discussed.","The Academic and Student Affairs Committee voted to delegate to the University president the authority to approve multi‑year professional degree supplemental tuition (PDST) plans that request increases of 3% or less for California residents or 5% or less for nonresidents, while preserving regental review for larger or first‑time PDST requests.","actionData","errors"]
