Biographical or historical data
William E. Forbes became a member of the University of California Board of Regents in 1959, and also served until 1961 as president of the Alumni Association at the University of California, Los Angeles. In 1962 he was named by Governor Edmund G. (Pat) Brown, Sr., to a full 16 year term. Forbes served until January 1977, when he resigned because of his wife's illness. During his regental appointment he served four times as chair of the Committee on Grounds and Buildings, was a member of the Coordinating Council on Higher Education and the California Postsecondary Education Commission, and was a director of the Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges. In 1965 he chaired the Regents' Special Forbes Committee that prepared the widely-disseminated and controversial Byrne Report, named for committee counsel Jerome C. Byrne, a Los Angeles attorney.
