Council of UC Faculty Associations President, Bob Meister, argued before the Regents this week that their vote on the furloughs was not legal. His report of the meeting and the reception that our legal arguments met is available at http://cucfa.org/news/2009_july15b.php. Although we did not prevail, some legal points were made and the Regents resorted to claiming “inherent rights” to make decisions about our future.
