At its regular meeting in Colorado Springs on June 4, the University of Colorado Board of Regents unanimously approved a resolution condemning the June 1 attack in Boulder that injured 15 participants in a peaceful vigil supporting Israeli hostages. “This unprovoked, violent act specifically targeted the Jewish community, reflecting a broader and very troubling escalation of antisemitism in the broader community,” states the resolution.

The University of Colorado is dedicated to fostering an ethical and compliant environment for all. A cornerstone of this commitment is the CU Code of Conduct (Administrative Policy Statement 2027), which governs the actions of faculty and staff across the four campuses and system administration. “At CU, ethics and compliance aren’t buzzwords. They’re integral to our mission of providing high-quality education and professional training, public service, advancing research and knowledge, and state-of-the-art health care,” President Todd Saliman said.
The Board of Regents last week began considering budget scenarios for the 2025-26 fiscal year, including possible increases in state funding, tuition and fees, and compensation.

Details varied among three scenarios, differing based on potential variations in state funding, tuition and fees, and compensation.
