The people assisting in the search for a new UCSD chancellor will gather on campus Oct. 28 for a series of closed meetings to talk about parameters for the search.
Marye Ann Fox, who has led the campus since 2004, will step down in June to return to teaching chemistry and research as a distinguished professor.

On Friday, University of California President Mark G. Yudof, who will convene the search committee, named 15 people — UCSD faculty, staff, students and alumni as well as a list of regents and others from around the state — to an advisory to assist with recruiting, screening and interviewing candidates, with the goal to recommend a nominee to UC regents by May.
“As Marye Anne Fox demonstrated in adding striking breadth and depth to the university’s already sterling reputation, strong leadership is essential to quality,” Yudof said in a statement.
He is scheduled to be at UCSD for the Oct. 28 meetings and will participate in a luncheon with alumni, donors and community leaders.
Committee members are:
• Yudof and Sherry Lansing, chair of the Board of Regents, are ex-officio members of the panel.

Chancellor Robert J Birgeneau ($500,000 salary) displaces Californians qualified for public university education at Cal. for a $50,600 payment and a foreign passport. Need for transparency at University of California Berkeley has never been so clear.
UC Berkeley, ranked # 70 Forbes, is not increasing enrollment. Birgeneau accepts $50,600 FOREIGN students at the expense of qualified Californians.
UC Regent Chairwoman Lansing and President Yudof agree to discriminate against instate Californians for foreigners. Birgeneau, Yudof, Lansing need to answer to Californians.
