The UC Office of the President announced today that a special committee of the UC Board of Regents has nominated Jonathan Stein, a UC Berkeley graduate student, to serve as student regent for 2012-13.
Though the board will vote on the nomination at its July meeting, Stein would first serve as Student Regent-Designate for the upcoming year before his term begins in July 2012. As the Student Regent-Designate, Stein would be able to participate in all of the board’s deliberations but would not have voting privileges until the start of his one-year term.
According to the statement announcing his nomination, Stein was chosen from a pool of 56 applicants from all 10 UC campuses. Three finalists were interviewed by the board committee after their names were submitted by the UC Students Association, which interviewed 10 semifinalists, the statement reads.
Stein is currently pursuing a both master’s degree from the UC Berkeley Goldman School of Public Policy and a law degree from the UC Berkeley School of Law, according to the statement.
The 2011-12 student regent is Alfredo Mireles Jr., who took the position May 17 following the resignation of former student regent Jesse Cheng.
J.D. Morris is an assistant news editor.

Now go out there and make a difference University of California student rege…stop observing and start influencing….
The 10 University of California (UC) campuses, UCOP
are not untouchable: Californians fund UC.
Californians face foreclosure, unemployment, depressed wages and higher
taxes: it’s time the Governor Brown, UC Board of Regents Lansing, President
Yudof demonstrated leadership by curbing wages, benefits. As a Californian, I
don’t care what others earn at private, public universities. If wages better
elsewhere, chancellors, vice chancellors, tenured, non tenured faculty, UCOP should
apply for the positions. If wages commit employees to UC, leave for better paying
position. The sky above UC will not fall.
California suffers from the
greatest deficit modern times. UC wages, benefits must reflect California’s ability to
pay, not what others paid elsewhere. Campus chancellors, vice chancellors,
tenured & non-tenured faculty, UCOP are replaceable by the more talented.
UC faculty stop tuition increases:
No furloughs
18 percent reduction in UCOP salaries & $50
million cut.
18 percent prune of campus chancellors’, vice chancellors’ salaries.
15 percent trim of tenured faculty salaries, increased teaching load
10 percent decrease in non-tenured faculty salaries, as well as increase research,
teaching load
100%
elimination of all Academic Senate, Academic Council costs, wages.
Rose
bushes bloom after pruning.
Governor Brown, UC Board of Regents Sherry Lansing, President
Yudof can bridge the trust gap to public by offering reassurances that salaries
reflect depressed wages in California. The sky will not fall on UC
Californians are reasonable people. Levy no new taxes until
an approved balanced budget: let the Governor/Legislature lead – make the
tough-minded (not cold hearted) decisions of elected leadership. Afterwards
come to public for continuing, specified
taxes.
Thanking
you in advance for advocating for California, University of California
I’m thrilled that Jonathan Stein was nominated to be student regent. He is an incredibly capable and intelligent guy, and I am confident in his abilities to go head-to-head with the appointed regents.
This means that we now have two graduate students as the interim regent and regent. I agree with Stein, who is an advocate of making there both an undergrad and grad regent seat.
