Attn U.C. students, parents, alumni - Spot.us investigating UC Regents

...or they will be, with your help.
Everyone in California is touched by this story and we need your help to spread the word and the link: http://bit.ly/ucregents to any students or alumni of the U.C. system.
Pass it on.
...this investigation proposes to determine to what degree (if any) the current regents have been spinning public money intended to finance education into a source of financial leverage (and income) for friends, business partners, and themselves.

National-award winning investigative reporter Peter Byrne will lead a team of forensic investigators, including R.V. Scheide of the Sacramento News & Review, as it unravels the complex web of financial connections that bind the Regents into an Investor’s Club.
Since money's been tight, I've been a Spot.us benchwarmer for the last year or so; but this one's worth ponying up for.

JeffP? George Rebane? Tony Waters? who else has UC ties and wants to see a light shined on what these folks are doing?
