The Council of University of California Faculty Associations (CUCFA) mourns the loss of Professor Charles Nash. Charlie was a long time member of the UC Davis Faculty Associations and of the statewide Council, and held leadership positions in both organizations. For many years he served CUCFA – as Vice President of External Affairs, overseeing our lobbying efforts, and maintaining vigilance on the relations between the University and the state legislature. Charlie was a proud product of the UC system and was familiar with its governance at every level. His knowledge, wisdom and steadfast commitment to the values of public higher education were priceless and irreplaceable. Once in a generation UC is fortunate enough to produce public citizens like Charlie Nash. He will be greatly missed by all of us who worked with him over the years. [More at the DFA website]
