Regents governance committee approves minutes and routine personnel and policy items
Summary
The University of California governance committee approved the Jan. 22 minutes and a series of administrative items, including contract compensation and stipends, a policy change on senior management raises, and a January 2026 meeting-date adjustment.
The University of California Board of Regents' Governance Committee adopted the minutes from the Jan. 22 meeting and approved several administrative items during an open session, the committee chair said.
The committee voted on the following items: adoption of Jan. 22 minutes; approval of contract compensation for the general manager, football, Berkeley campus; retroactive administrative stipend for a senior advisor to the chancellor and chief of staff, Los Angeles campus; an amendment to regents policy 07/2001 removing the requirement for regents to separately approve across-the-board salary increases for Senior Management Group (SMG) employees; and revised dates for the January 2026 meeting (proposed Jan. 20–22, 2026). All of those motions passed by voice vote with no opposition recorded on the open record.
Why it matters: These items formalize routine personnel, compensation and scheduling matters for the University of California system. The policy change on SMG salary approvals removes a separate step that previously required the regents to consider across-the-board cost-of-living adjustments for higher-level employees.
