UC Regents Approve Oversight Panel for Labs
The University of California Board of Regents voted Thursday to create a national security laboratories board of directors.
“The [board] will bring a breadth of strong expertise to the oversight of the weapons laboratories,” said UC President Robert C. Dynes.
The action by the regents is one in a series of steps taken by the University of California to strengthen its management of the national laboratories, including Los Alamos and Lawrence Livermore, which have come under criticism from the federal government and others for lax oversight.
