Regents declared their action in ignoring faculty demands for Meanwell’s retention did not violate western conferee e requirements of l faculty control. Their present dec-1 laration of policy appeared to con- 1 tain no ’ departures from past ipoliciee. The regents conclusions will be submitted to the faculty at a special meeting tomorrow.
