Supervisors Lobby for UC Campuses
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday asked University of California officials to consider building campuses in Diamond Bar and the Antelope Valley.
“Diamond Bar would seem to be a logical area for this new Southern California campus, inasmuch as it is physically located at the mid-point between the three existing UC campuses in the Los Angeles Basin,” said Supervisor Pete Schabarum, whose district includes Diamond Bar.
Supervisor Mike Antonovich persuaded the board to expand its request to include the fast-growing Antelope Valley, which is part of his district.
No specific sites have been proposed in either area.
The UC Board of Regents earlier this year began planning for three additional campuses and indicated that it would probably build one in Northern California, one in the Central Valley and one in Southern California.
