UC Appoints Muslim American Woman to Board; Jewish Groups Oppose Decision

The appointment of 21-year-old Sadia Saifuddin as the first practicing Muslim student member of the University of California's (UC) governing board, has not gone down well with some Jewish groups. About 25 UC regents unanimously approved the nomination of Saifuddin, a UC Berkeley student, to the board of regents on Wednesday, with one member, Richard Blum, abstaining from the vote.
