About the Campaign for UC Democracy
Over 40 years have lapsed since the last structural changes in the Board of Regents,the 26-member body that manages the entire University of California system. Current Board structures are hindering the UC system's ability to adapt to challenging times, threatening UC's access, excellence and public service. Only by reforming the Board of Regents will the public have effective means to defend public education and overcome aloof and bloated administration, inadequate state funding, skyrocketing fees, threats to faculty shared governance, and poor labor relations with staff.
The Campaign for UC Democracy seeks state legislation to reform the Board of Regents to be more representative of, and more accountable to, the people of the state of California.
