New Chancellor to be Named Next Week
Berkeley NewsCenter is reporting that the new Chancellor will be announced on Tuesday. Here is the full report:

BERKELEY – The University of California Board of Regents today (7/23) announced plans to hold a telephone conference call on Tuesday, July 27, for the purpose of appointing a new chancellor for UC Berkeley.

Immediately following the meeting, at approximately 3:45 p.m., Chancellor Robert Berdahl with UC President Robert Dynes will introduce the candidate to the Berkeley campus on the steps of Doe Library. Faculty, staff, students, alumni and community members are invited to attend the introduction. A visit by UC Berkeley's Straw Hat Band and campus mascot, Oski, is expected as part of the brief event.

The special UC Regents' meeting will begin at 2:30 p.m. with a closed session for personnel matters followed by an open session including the opportunity for public comment.

I will be at the Democratic Convention in Boston for the next week and will probably not be able to access a computer during that time, so any commentary will have to be left to others.  I will commence blogging next Saturday when I return.   My only comment at this time is that I hope they appoint someone who will be able to raise money.
