How to Contact the Regents by Email

From Charlie Schwartz's University Probe, an email thread on bureaucratic impunity and the UC regents:

On the official web site of the Regents of the University of California it says, “If you would like to email the Regents, please address your comments to Regents Office (regentsoffice@ucop.edu).” Alternatively, you can find that Marsha Kelman is the Secretary and Chief of Staff to The Regents and her email address is marsha.kelman@ucop.edu.

Here is my recent experience with that channel of communication.

Dear Marsha;

Please forward the attached letter (via email, so as to retain
electronic links therein) to each member of the Board of Regents.

Thank you,
Charlie

UC Office of the President

Dear Marsha;

... On September 16 I sent you some material... which I asked to be distributed to the regents. Was that distribution carried out? And if so, in what manner?

Thank you,
Charles Schwartz

Professor Schwartz,

... We have not located the email you sent on September 16. If you will send it again, I’m happy to make it available to the Regents through our normal correspondence process.

Marsha;

Here is the email I sent you on September 16. Please acknowledge immediately that you have received this.

I cannot imagine how the original email did not reach you.

Marsha;

My original request was that you forward my letter (which was the attachment) to each regent by email. Will this be done? When?

Charlie,

Our process is the same one we’ve had in place for many years. We list the
correspondence we have received and ask the Regents what they would like copies of for review...

Marsha;

Thank you for FINALLY acknowledging what I had feared: That it is almost impossible for an ordinary person to communicate with members of the Board!
