The important document outlines the role of former UC Board Of Regents Chair Richard Blum in manipulating the UC Pension system to
benefit himself and his investors through the use of UC public pension funds.
This comes on the heels of the efforts of the UC Regents to cutback the pension benefits to tens of thousands of UC workers, many of whom
are lower paid workers.
