UC Regent designate Charlene Zettel was confirmed by the CA Senate on May 6 with the minimum number of votes possible for confirmation. After 3 roll calls, Zettel finally received the essential 21 votes required.
Zettel was opposed by the UC Union Coalition due to her anti-worker voting record as a state assembly member in the early 2000's, and her refusal to commit to joint governance of UCRP. The union coalition launched a last minute effort to convince democratic senators that as a Regent Zettel would not act in the interests of UC students or workers.
