That's the way it should be
Two recent opinion pieces in The Bruin, one an editorial and the other a Viewpoint piece by Andres Chang ("Regents don't care about problems," Nov. 24) have bemoaned the fact that the Board of Regents does not represent students.
This displays a fundamental misconception. Of course the board does not primarily represent students, nor faculty, staff, nor graduate student employees.
They're not supposed to.
The UC Board of Regents represents the people of the state of California. Remember those folks who own the university and who, through their taxes, pay much more of its operating expenses than our registration fees?
This, I say, is more or less as it should be.
