The University of California Regents' Special Committee to Consider the Selection of a President will meet in closed session via teleconference on Thursday, March 13, beginning at 12 p.m., to discuss matters pertaining to the presidential search.

Teleconference locations are listed on the Regents' Web site at www.universityofcalifornia.edu/regents/meetings.html.

The committee was formed following the Aug. 13 announcement of President Robert C. Dynes' decision to step down as the university's systemwide leader.

In keeping with its bylaws and policies, the UC Board of Regents will undertake a national search for Dynes' replacement. The Regents' committee will consult broadly with constituent groups of the university from across all 10 campuses.
