The University of California Board of Regents are holding a three-day meeting at UC San Francisco this week. The meeting starts this morning, and ends on Thursday.

A preview of the meeting from the UC Berkeley Daily Californian can be found here, and another writeup with a bunch of links is here. UC Student Regent Designate Jesse Cheng has put together a briefing on the meeting’s agenda, and he’ll be liveblogging the meeting starting at 10:30 am Pacific Time today. If any news breaks, I’ll of course cover it here.

One item to watch is a proposed change in professional fee policy that the San Francisco Chronicle reported earlier this month — a change which would drop the word “public” from the phrase “total in-state fees charged will be at or below the total tuition and/or fees charged by comparable degree programs at other comparable public institutions.” As I wrote at the time, this is an astoundingly ill-considered idea, from any number of perspectives.

So what’s the status of that proposal? It’s not clear. According to Jesse Cheng, there’s no reference to it in any of the meeting materials distributed so far — not in the publicly available agenda, and not in the documents distributed to the student regents.

There’s a similar item is on the agenda — a statement asserting the Regents’ power to set any student fee “at any level it deems appropriate” — but what happened to the amendment the Chronicle reported on remains a mystery.

When we get more, you’ll get more.

Update | A commenter has linked to a press release about a planned protest.
