Robinson, and told him \"I did not want to do anything that was wrong or inappropriate under UC's policies.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his letter, De La Peña blamed Dr. David Feinberg, the former chief executive of the UCLA hospital system, for the whistleblower complaint. De La Peña wrote that Feinberg had violated UC rules by signing a deal with Anthem Blue Cross in September 2014 without the regents' permission. De La Peña also wrote that Feinberg's allegation against him \"was simply a way of getting even' with me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Varner \u003ca href=\"http://www.propublica.org/documents/item/2820778-Varner-letter.html\">wrote a letter to Napolitano\u003c/a> in June 2015, released by UC last week, saying he agreed with De La Peña.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feinberg, who is now chief executive of Pennsylvania-based Geisinger Health System, declined to comment other than to say in an email, \"I wish all the best for the University of California and UCLA.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The findings on De La Peña come as the University of California is reeling from a string of scandals at its prestigious campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just last week, Napolitano \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/investigations/the-public-eye/article74489837.html\">placed UC Davis Chancellor Linda P.B.

Arnold Schwarzenegger. He also served on the Board of Regents of the Uniformed Services University for Health Sciences, and as a special delegate to the United Nations, his biography says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Dooley's March 2015 letter outlining the findings against De La Peña, concerns were raised that De La Peña repeatedly requested that Feinberg find a way to purchase his clinics in a way that wouldn't require approval from the regents. One way was to sell the clinics to Doheny Eye Institute, a well-known research and treatment center. At the time, Doheny was in talks to affiliate with UCLA after a breakup with the University of Southern California; Doheny subsequently became affiliated with UCLA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the letter, Dooley does not explicitly say whether he concluded De La Peña tried to arrange a purchase of his clinics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I find that Regent De La Peña continued to engage in discussions regarding the Doheny deal after Regent De La Peña had been recused from participating in the matter,\" he wrote. \"I also find that Regent De La Peña continued to pursue alternative scenarios by which Regent De La Peña's clinics could be turned over to UCLA, up to the time of the January 2014 Regents meeting.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://regents.universityofcalifornia.edu/minutes/2014/hs1.pdf\">Minutes of the January 2014 meeting\u003c/a> twice note that De La Peña had recused himself, but also indicate that he asked questions and engaged in discussions about the affiliation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Christopher Conway, chief of development and public affairs at Doheny, said he was not familiar with the investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the main whistleblower allegations against De La Peña was that he retaliated against Feinberg for refusing to purchase his clinics. Dooley said he accepted the outside investigator's finding that De La Peña \"did not retaliate against Dr. Feinberg and UCLA for Dr. Feinberg's refusal to involve UCLA in the purchase of Regent De La Peña's ophthalmology clinics.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ProPublica requested documents from UC in January involving any findings of impropriety involving members of the Board of Regents, but UC still has not turned over any records in response to that request.

De La Peña wrote that Feinberg had violated UC rules by signing a deal with Anthem Blue Cross in September 2014 without the regents' permission. De La Peña also wrote that Feinberg's allegation against him \"was simply a way of getting even' with me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Varner \u003ca href=\"http://www.propublica.org/documents/item/2820778-Varner-letter.html\">wrote a letter to Napolitano\u003c/a> in June 2015, released by UC last week, saying he agreed with De La Peña.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feinberg, who is now chief executive of Pennsylvania-based Geisinger Health System, declined to comment other than to say in an email, \"I wish all the best for the University of California and UCLA.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The findings on De La Peña come as the University of California is reeling from a string of scandals at its prestigious campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just last week, Napolitano \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/investigations/the-public-eye/article74489837.html\">placed UC Davis Chancellor Linda P.B.

Arnold Schwarzenegger. He also served on the Board of Regents of the Uniformed Services University for Health Sciences, and as a special delegate to the United Nations, his biography says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Dooley's March 2015 letter outlining the findings against De La Peña, concerns were raised that De La Peña repeatedly requested that Feinberg find a way to purchase his clinics in a way that wouldn't require approval from the regents. One way was to sell the clinics to Doheny Eye Institute, a well-known research and treatment center. At the time, Doheny was in talks to affiliate with UCLA after a breakup with the University of Southern California; Doheny subsequently became affiliated with UCLA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the letter, Dooley does not explicitly say whether he concluded De La Peña tried to arrange a purchase of his clinics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I find that Regent De La Peña continued to engage in discussions regarding the Doheny deal after Regent De La Peña had been recused from participating in the matter,\" he wrote. \"I also find that Regent De La Peña continued to pursue alternative scenarios by which Regent De La Peña's clinics could be turned over to UCLA, up to the time of the January 2014 Regents meeting.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://regents.universityofcalifornia.edu/minutes/2014/hs1.pdf\">Minutes of the January 2014 meeting\u003c/a> twice note that De La Peña had recused himself, but also indicate that he asked questions and engaged in discussions about the affiliation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Christopher Conway, chief of development and public affairs at Doheny, said he was not familiar with the investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the main whistleblower allegations against De La Peña was that he retaliated against Feinberg for refusing to purchase his clinics. Dooley said he accepted the outside investigator's finding that De La Peña \"did not retaliate against Dr. Feinberg and UCLA for Dr. Feinberg's refusal to involve UCLA in the purchase of Regent De La Peña's ophthalmology clinics.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ProPublica requested documents from UC in January involving any findings of impropriety involving members of the Board of Regents, but UC still has not turned over any records in response to that request. Klein said the documents might be available this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

UC has 10 campuses, including UCLA and UC Berkeley, nearly 240,000 students and a staff of 195,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our community does not exist in a vacuum. How we support our workers and their families impacts Californians who might never set foot on one of our campuses,\" she said. \"It's the right thing to do.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The university's hourly wage earners -- a group that includes students and full-time employees working in dining halls, dorms and bookstores or as gardeners, housekeepers and custodians at campuses and hospitals -- currently make the state minimum of $9 an hour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Napolitano said she will boost that to $13 in October for employees who work at least 20 hours a week and by $1 an hour in each of the next two years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 4,200 UC employees and a much larger but undetermined number of workers hired by university contractors will receive the higher wage, UC spokeswoman Dianne Klein said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I just thought it was important for a public university to plant the flag here for low-wage workers and a more livable wage,\" Napolitano, who was President Barack Obama's homeland security secretary before she assumed leadership of the University of California nearly two years ago, said in an interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The higher minimum-wage argument has gained traction amid concerns over the shrinking middle class and rising income inequality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters argue a higher wage floor will help lift the working poor into the middle class. Opponents warn that businesses will have to raise prices, shed jobs or cut employees' hours. At least 15 states have passed laws barring local governments from setting their own minimum wage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats, including presidential front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton, have said they support a higher federal minimum wage, which is currently $7.25 per hour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vice President Joe Biden was scheduled to promote a higher minimum wage during a stop Wednesday at a washroom equipment manufacturer in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, Los Angeles County, the nation's most populous county, voted to craft a law to raise the minimum wage to $15 over the next five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other side of the country, a New York state board Wednesday was poised to recommend a minimum wage increase for fast-food workers. The state's minimum wage is now $8.75 an hour and is set to rise to $9 an hour at year's end. Many fast-food workers say their industry should pay a minimum of $15 so that they can afford the high cost of living in New York City and elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wal-Mart, the nation's largest private employer, announced in February that it was raising its wages for a half-million employees to at least $10 an hour by next February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The $15 minimum has become the rallying cry of labor groups nationwide who argue the base wage hasn't kept up with inflation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>University of California officials estimated that the raises for workers directly employed by UC will cost $14 million a year, a fraction of the system's $12.6 billion annual payroll. Klein said UC also predicts contractors will pass some of the cost of higher wages onto the university.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent months, workers and UC union leaders have complained about the university's increased reliance on contractors who, they allege, treat employees unfairly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Napolitano said she is setting up a hotline and online reporting system so complaints about contractors' labor practices go directly to her office. The university also plans to audit its contractors to make sure they are paying their workers the higher base wage, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Napolitano's minimum-wage plan does not need approval from the governing Board of Regents, who on Wednesday were scheduled to consider a 3 percent cost-of-living increase for campus chancellors, medical center directors and other top executives.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The state's minimum wage is now $8.75 an hour and is set to rise to $9 an hour at year's end. Many fast-food workers say their industry should pay a minimum of $15 so that they can afford the high cost of living in New York City and elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wal-Mart, the nation's largest private employer, announced in February that it was raising its wages for a half-million employees to at least $10 an hour by next February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The $15 minimum has become the rallying cry of labor groups nationwide who argue the base wage hasn't kept up with inflation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>University of California officials estimated that the raises for workers directly employed by UC will cost $14 million a year, a fraction of the system's $12.6 billion annual payroll. Klein said UC also predicts contractors will pass some of the cost of higher wages onto the university.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent months, workers and UC union leaders have complained about the university's increased reliance on contractors who, they allege, treat employees unfairly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Napolitano said she is setting up a hotline and online reporting system so complaints about contractors' labor practices go directly to her office. The university also plans to audit its contractors to make sure they are paying their workers the higher base wage, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Napolitano's minimum-wage plan does not need approval from the governing Board of Regents, who on Wednesday were scheduled to consider a 3 percent cost-of-living increase for campus chancellors, medical center directors and other top executives.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

He says the free legal help from the Undocumented Legal Services Center went beyond his foreign study program.

Because of the stress, the students often stop and start. They drop out, then they come back. And some don't come back.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not everyone agrees with the center's work. Student Claire Chiara is director of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleycollegerepublicans.com/\">UC Berkeley College Republicans\u003c/a>. She says if the university is going to provide legal services, they should be for all students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Students could get legal help for anything ranging from, my gosh, a divorce they're going through, to fighting any form of trial they might appear in,\" says Chiara. \"So I think this legal aid for undocumented students is really an issue because it doesn't represent the entire student body.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC President Janet Napolitano disagrees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our undocumented students are in a special place, a unique place,\" says Napolitano. She funded the legal center as part of a $5 million investment to support undocumented students. The money is from the President's Initiative Fund, which she is allowed to use to address needs around the UC system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's the public policy of the state of California that they pay in-state tuition, that they qualify for financial aid. All we are doing is recognizing they are a special population,\" says Napolitano. \"They have high needs. So if these students are going to be part of the UC family, and they are … why not also do what we can to provide legal services?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Napolitano says she wants universities in other states to follow the University of California's lead.\u003c/p>\n\n",

He says the free legal help from the Undocumented Legal Services Center went beyond his foreign study program. Perhaps even more importantly, the attorney who met with Buz in San Diego asked him a lot of questions about his family history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As we were discussing my family's dynamic, there were several things I realized and we realized,\" says Buz. \"There would be a way for me to get an adjustment of status, which means I can probably, if things work out, get residency in the next few years.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is a huge deal. Most undocumented immigrants in the U.S. don't have a pathway to permanent legalization under current law.

Blanco says the idea behind the legal services is to help undocumented students -- and those with undocumented family members -- to stay in school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When you help them emotionally, they do better academically as well,\" she says. \"Just the stress of being in fear of their deportation, but also their families being at risk. Because of the stress, the students often stop and start. They drop out, then they come back. And some don't come back.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not everyone agrees with the center's work. Student Claire Chiara is director of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleycollegerepublicans.com/\">UC Berkeley College Republicans\u003c/a>. She says if the university is going to provide legal services, they should be for all students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Students could get legal help for anything ranging from, my gosh, a divorce they're going through, to fighting any form of trial they might appear in,\" says Chiara. \"So I think this legal aid for undocumented students is really an issue because it doesn't represent the entire student body.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC President Janet Napolitano disagrees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our undocumented students are in a special place, a unique place,\" says Napolitano. She funded the legal center as part of a $5 million investment to support undocumented students. The money is from the President's Initiative Fund, which she is allowed to use to address needs around the UC system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's the public policy of the state of California that they pay in-state tuition, that they qualify for financial aid. All we are doing is recognizing they are a special population,\" says Napolitano. \"They have high needs. So if these students are going to be part of the UC family, and they are … why not also do what we can to provide legal services?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Napolitano says she wants universities in other states to follow the University of California's lead.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
