The University of California has announced it will no longer pay for
the meals of its governing board after a newspaper reported lavish
spending on dinners.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported
Sunday that UC President Janet Napolitano ‘s office reimbursed regents
for more than $225,000 in dinner parties since 2012, including $17,600
for a banquet held the night before the board voted to raise tuition.
UC Board of Regents Chair Monica Lozano and Napolitano said in a
statement that regents will “absorb their costs for board dinners” to
avoid questions over how money is spent.
The newspaper reports Monday the reversal was the idea of regent Richard Blum.
Dinner costs are paid out of a private endowment designated for university business costs not covered by state or tuition funds.
