OAKLAND — University of California General Counsel Charles Robinson made the following statement today (March 28) after Alameda County Superior Court Judge Evelio Grillo ruled almost entirely in favor of UC arguments for full public disclosure of reports on the events of Nov. 18, 2011, at UC Davis:

"We are pleased that Judge Grillo agrees, in almost every respect, with our arguments for full public disclosure of reports from the task force chaired by former California Supreme Court Associate Justice Cruz Reynoso. While he also ordered names of some police officers in the reports to be redacted, we would like that information ultimately to be made public.

"He imposed a 21-day stay to allow campus police union attorneys time to decide whether they will appeal. During that time the task force and university are permitted to release only those parts of the report that the judge previously permitted to be released, plus a few additional sections that police union attorneys agreed to. As a result, there still are substantial portions of the Reynoso Task Force and Kroll reports that cannot be released during the 21-day stay.

"Judge Grillo said UC retains discretion on the timing and form of release of the reports. We will confer with Justice Reynoso about when and how the reports will be released to the UC Davis community and the general public.

"All of us — including Justice Reynoso and UC President Mark G. Yudof — remain committed to full public disclosure of the findings and recommendations of the task force. Sharing and discussing the task force report with the UC Davis community — students, faculty and staff — is a vitally important step toward healing and understanding."
