2005 California Education Code Sections 92020-92033 Article 3. Meetings of the Regents

92020.  As used in this article, "Regents of the University of
California" means the Board of Regents of the University of
California and its standing and special committees or subcommittees,
other than groups of not more than three regents appointed to advise
and assist the university administration in contract negotiations.
92030.  All meetings of the Regents of the University of California
shall, except as otherwise provided in this article, be subject to
Article 9 (commencing with Section 11120) of Chapter 1 of Part 1 of
Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code.
92032.  Notwithstanding any provision of Article 9 (commencing with
Section 11120) of Chapter 1 of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the
Government Code:
   (a) The Regents of the University of California may, as occasioned
by necessity, hold special meetings.  The regents shall give public
notice for these meetings.  This notice shall be given by means of a
notice hand delivered or mailed to each newspaper of general
circulation and television or radio station that has requested notice
in writing, so that the notice may be published or broadcast at
least 72 hours before the time of the meeting.  The notice shall
specify the time, place, and agenda of the special meeting.  The
regents shall not consider any business not included in the agenda
portion of the notice.  Failure to satisfy the provisions of this
subdivision shall not be excused by the fact that no action was taken
at the special meeting.
   (b) The Regents of the University of California may conduct closed
sessions when they meet  to consider or discuss:
   (1) Matters affecting the national security.
   (2) The conferring of honorary degrees or other honors or
commemorations.
   (3) Matters involving gifts, devises, and bequests.
   (4) Matters involving the purchase or sale of investments for
endowment and pension funds.
   (5) Matters involving litigation, when discussion in open session
concerning those matters would adversely affect, or be detrimental
to, the public interest.
   (6) The acquisition or disposition of property, if discussion of
these matters in open session could adversely affect the regents'
ability to acquire or dispose of the property on the terms and
conditions they deem to be in the best public interest.
   (7) Matters concerning the appointment, employment, performance,
compensation, or dismissal of university officers or employees,
excluding individual regents other than the president of the
university.  Consideration of compensation for the principal officers
of the regents and the officers of the university, as listed in
Figure 9 on page F-37 of the Analysis of the 1993-94 Budget Bill by
the Legislative Analyst's office, shall not include action by the
regents on compensation proposals.  Action by the regents on those
proposals shall be only in open session.  Compensation for the
principal officers of the regents and the officers of the university
shall include salary, benefits, perquisites, severance payments
(except those made in connection with a dismissal or a litigation
settlement), retirement benefits, or any other form of compensation.
   (8) Matters relating to complaints or charges brought against
university officers or employees, excluding individual regents other
than the president of the university, unless the officer or employee
requests a public hearing.
   (c) While a witness is being examined during any open or closed
session, any or all other witnesses in the investigation may be
excluded from the proceedings by the regents.
   (d) Committees of the regents may conduct closed sessions on
Medi-Cal contract negotiations.
   (e) The nominating committee of the regents may conduct closed
sessions held for the purpose of proposing officers of the board and
members of the board's various committees.
   (f) Committees of the regents may conduct closed sessions held for
the purpose of proposing a student regent.
   (g) The regents shall not be required to give public notice of
meetings of special search or selection committees held for the
purpose of conducting interviews for university officer positions.
92032.5.  (a) It is the intent of the Legislature that no proposal
relating to the salary, benefits, perquisites, severance payments
(except those made in connection with a dismissal or a litigation
settlement), or retirement benefits, or any other form of
compensation paid to an officer of the University of California shall
become effective unless both of the following occur:
   (1) (A) Notice of the meeting at which the proposal is to be
considered has been given to each regent.
   (B) Information and materials regarding the proposal, including a
full disclosure of the fiscal impact, have been made available to
each regent in advance of the meeting at which the proposal is to be
considered.
   (C) The fact that the board of regents intends to vote on a
proposal concerning the compensation of an officer has been displayed
in the meeting notice made available to the public in accordance
with the requirements of Article 9 (commencing with Section 11120) of
Chapter 1 of Part 1 of Division 1 of the Government Code or, in the
case of a special meeting, in accordance with subdivision (a) of
Section 92032.
   (D) The specific proposal has been made available, prior to the
commencement of the open session of the regents at which adoption of
the proposal is to be considered, to members of the public present at
the open session.  The proposal shall be acted upon by the regents
as the final open session item for action.
   (2) The proposal has been approved by the making of a motion and
its adoption by a majority vote of the regents present at an open
session.  Nothing in this section shall preclude in open session the
full discussion of the contents of the motion or the reasons why it
should or should not be adopted.
   (b) As used in this section, "officer" means each principal
officer of the Regents of the University of California and the
officers of the university, as listed in Figure 9 on page F-37 of the
Analysis of the 1993-94 Budget Bill by the Legislative Analyst's
office.
92033.  The Regents of the University of California shall provide a
copy of this article and Article 9 (commencing with Section 11120) of
Chapter 1 of Part 1  of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government
Code, to each regent upon his or her appointment to the board or
assumption of the office of regent.
