The board split in an 8-6 vote over a resolution
...
“This is not the congenial board I entered 10 years ago where I felt proud about disagreeing with others,” said UC Regent Peter Preuss. “What’s happening to this body?”

Gray Davis' appointees flooding the board of Regents? This craziness looks to last a long time.

The board consists of 26 members: 18 are appointed by the governor of California for 12-year terms; one is a student appointed by the Regents to a one-year term; and seven are ex officio members — the governor, the lieutenant governor, the speaker of the Assembly, the state superintendent of public instruction, the president and vice president of the Alumni Associations of the University of California, and the president of the university.

Of the 18 appointed Regents (only 16 listed on the website, perhaps there are two new openings?), nine were appointed by Davis:
Name and expiration of term (March 1st)
Richard C. Blum, 2014,
Judith L. Hopkinson, 2009,
Odessa P. Johnson, 2012,
Sherry L. Lansing, 2010,
Monica C. Lozano, 2013,
George M. Marcus, 2012,
John J. Moores, 2009,
Norman J. Pattiz, 2015,
Haim Saban, 2014.

Seven were appointed by Pete Wilson:
Ward Connerly, 2005,
Joanne Corday Kozberg, 2010,
David S. Lee, 2006
Velma Montoya, 2005
Gerald L. Parsky, 2008,
Peter Preuss, 2008,
Tom Sayles, 2006.

I didn't mean to imply that the 8 votes all came from Davis appointees. Some of them could have abstained or missed the meeting.

The other voting members of the Board of Regents are:

Matt J. Murray, Student Regent

Ex-Officio Members:
Arnold Schwarzenegger (R), Governor
Robert C. Dynes (D?), UC President
Cruz Bustamante (D), Lieutenant Governor
Fabian Núñez (D), Assembly Speaker
Jack O’Connell (D), Superintendant of Public Instruction
Laurence Seigler, Alumni Association President
Barbara K. Bodine, Alumni Association Vice President
