Relations; Ronald W. Brady, senior vice president, Administration; William R. Frazer, senior vice president, Academic Affairs;
and Cornelius L. Hopper, M.D., vice president, Health Affairs. Senior administrators in the Office of the President discuss
the University of California's budget process; interaction with the state legislature, the governor, and the Board of Regents;
contracts with the federal government for management of the national laboratories; technology transfer initiative; planning
for new campuses; executive compensation and retirement benefits (including the Voluntary Early Retirement Incentive Plans);
divestment from South Africa and affirmative action in admissions.
Interview with Lawrence Hershman, vice president and director of the budget, primarily regarding David Gardner's presidency.
Interviews with Theodore L. Hullar, chancellor, Davis and Riverside; Clark Kerr, UC president emeritus; Julius R. Krevans,
