On June 23, the Regents’ Workgroup on Faculty Discipline Policies and Procedures released Interim Policies. Some will go into effect Fall 2025 without review, including: Coordination of discipline with UC Police Departments for all misconduct cases, including those regarding expressive activities.

Another new interim policy that will go into effect Fall 2025: Faculty may be disciplined for extramural speech when the “university’s interests” outweigh the “employee’s expressive interests.” We must resist these blatant attempts to criminalize and chill faculty free speech!

WHAT CAN YOU DO? Express your concern and outrage over this overreach by the UC Regents by: Giving public comment at the July 15-17 Regents' Meeting. Give feedback (ask your colleagues to too) during the 90-day systemwide review period - the link will be sent out through Academic Senate Committees
