4602 Although there is some question regarding whether the Information Practices Act applies to the Regents of the University of California, which is a public trust rather than a public agency, it was unnecessary to decide, since potential liability under the Act was avoided by a showing that information provided by one department of the university to another was relevant and necessary to decisions regarding retention of plaintiff as a Ph.D. student; the same finding shields the Regents from liability for violation of the right of privacy under the California Constitution.CitationLACHTMAN v REGENTS (PhD Dismissal) 158 CA4 187 [See: CivC 1798 etseq; White v Davis 13 C3 757; Hill v NCAA 7 C4 1; Meister v Regents 67 CA4 437, T/AT 11/98]
