Regents give UCR Medical school the go ahead

After Tuesday's committee approval of the UCR Medical School, today's vote was somewhat of a formality. The UC Regents approved the plans, so UCR can move forward and start planning for their medical school. A final plan will still need to be developed and approved, and if that happens, the school won't open for another six years, but if it does, it will be the first new medical school in the state in 40 years.
