During their two-day March meeting, the regents discussed a variety of lesser-controversy issues. The regents declined to devote significant discussion to the recent discovery of a $57 million deficit within UC Student Health Insurance Program.

UC Regents President Mark Yudof publicly announces his support of Gov. Jerry Brow’s new tax initiative. The new initiative is a compromise between the older tax initiative and the Millionaire’s Tax.
