UC President James B. Milliken welcomed Gov. Gavin Newsom's appointments of Carl "Chip" Robertson, Dorene Dominguez, Mabelle Hueston, and John "Rusty" Areias to UC's governing board, and the reappointments of Board of Regents Chair Janet Reilly and Regent Greg Sarris, and released the following statement today (March 23, 2026):
I am delighted that Governor Newsom has named four new members to the UC Board of Regents today. Each brings new perspectives and a depth of experience that will strengthen our board and serve the University of California. I look forward to working with them as we build on the University's extraordinary legacy of academic excellence, life-saving research, and world-class patient care.
I'm also pleased that Board Chair Janet Reilly and Regent Greg Sarris have been reappointed to the board by the Governor. Chair Reilly has been a valuable partner and leader in my first months as president. Regent Sarris's deep commitment to student support and success is a cornerstone of how we fulfill our mission. I am grateful to them both for their collaboration and commitment to our University.
