UC Irvine’s newest student housing facility, the five-story Oso Tower, offers 424 undergraduate beds in suite-style quads and a new community center for first-year students. It aims to create a place of comfort and connection rooted in nature. Oso Tower was partially funded with a $65 million grant from California’s Higher Education Student Housing Grant Program. With the revenues from this project, UC Irvine will provide 486 student housing grants each totaling $3,870. Oso Tower is fully occupied for the fall, and students will begin moving in tomorrow. |

Grant to lead dementia study |
|
|
|
With an $18 million, five-year grant from the National Institute on Aging, UCI MIND researchers will lead a multi-center study on dementia. Ahmad Sajjadi, study lead and associate professor of neurology, said this study will advance efforts to develop accurate diagnostic tools for LATE (limbic predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy) and lay the foundation for recruiting participants into future clinical trials targeting the disease. The funding comes amid delays and threatened cuts to the National Institutes of Health budget. “Securing this major grant during these challenging times is a testament to the importance of the proposed study and to the outstanding track record of our team at UC Irvine and our collaborators,” said Joshua Grill, director of UCI MIND. #StandUpForUC #SpeakUp4Science |

Notice of disclosure obligations |
|
|
Like colleges and universities across the country, the University of California and UC Irvine are subject to regulatory oversight by the state and federal governments and accrediting agencies. Over many years and across numerous federal administrations, higher education institutions including UC and UC Irvine have received and consistently complied with information requests from various governmental agencies in connection with audits, compliance reviews or investigations, among other data requests. In response to these requests, UC Irvine may be required to disclose certain responsive data and information to the requesting agency. For example, in civil rights investigations, UC Irvine may be required to disclose civil rights office case files, police department complaints or records, candidate hiring applications, or candidate admissions information. UC Irvine takes steps to protect the privacy of individuals’ information in these disclosures to the extent possible, but individually identifiable information may need to be disclosed in connection with some requests. UC Irvine closely reviews its disclosure obligations under applicable laws and seeks to protect against disclosure of community members’ personal information to the extent permissible. |
