Governing boards and faculty in California

Abstract

The University of California has also had problems with the regents overstepping their appropriate authority, but these actions have no connection with the national network behind the attacks in Texas and Wisconsin. This independence indicates the full depth of the problem. In California, the university is constitutionally protected from legislative interference, board authority is more fully specified in law, and faculty authority is more clearly specified in the regents' Standing Orders. Board overreaching did not encroach on faculty authority but rather on that of the system administration, and the remedy was also entirely different than in Texas. Yet it still involved affirming the definition of the university as a community of scholars and students.
