Gavin Newsom shares shock in UCLA’s move to Big Ten, cites lack of ‘decency to provide a head’s up’
Gavin Newsom was clearly not happy.

“No big deal, I’m the governor, but maybe a bigger deal is I’m the chair of the UC Regents, I read about it,” he said. “Is it a good idea? Did we discuss the merits or demerits? I’m not aware of it anyway. It was done in isolation, it was done without any regental oversight or support. It was done without any consideration to my knowledge. Now, perhaps there was a deep conversation with other chancellors and presidents in the system and impact more broadly. Not just to the UCs, but to other universities, including Stanford University.”
“I have strong opinions about this, for no other reason than as a member of the Regents, we were never consulted,” Newsom said. “Never asked for an opinion, in the name of the decent to provide head’s up. So trust me when I say this: We’re not going to be looking into it, we already are looking into it within minutes of reading about this in the newspaper.”
