The University of California is moving closer to potentially employing illegal immigrants in various roles across its campus system after its Board of Regents agreed in a May 18 meeting to convene a working group on the issue.

In a closed board session, officials discussed the “Equitable Student Employment Opportunities” (pdf) measure before proceeding to vote on the matter in an open session.
