Summary

The measure changes the UC Regents’ composition by requiring two undergraduate and two graduate student members for each academic term, each serving a two‑year term. The first year of service is as a non‑voting regent‑designate, after which they gain full voting rights. This aims to give students a stronger, more continuous voice in university governance.
