On February 26, the Assembly of the Academic Senate provided a copy of the Regents' Proposed RE-89, Adoption of Policy Restricting University Acceptance of Funding from the Tobacco Industry for review and comment. The Executive Committee of the UCSF Academic Senate decided that the response from the Division should be based on a vote of the Senate, Clinical and Adjunct faculty.
