Should proceeds, net of event expenses, reach the campus minimum required for the establishment of an endowment or quasi-endowment, The UCLA Foundation reserves the right to use any portion of the net proceeds to create an endowment or quasi-endowment for any charitable or educational purpose.
Gifts are managed and invested in accordance with UCLA’s endowment investment policies. The total return earned in excess of the amount approved annually for payout will be retained in the endowment principal to protect from the effects of inflation and to allow for growth. At the discretion of the appropriate campus office, when the payout is not needed for purposes of the fund, the return of payout may be added to the endowment fund principal. In the event the fund does not reach endowment minimum; or the program ceases to exist at UCLA, proceeds from the fund will be utilized in an area and manner as closely related as possible to the original intent and purposes for which the fund was established.
Although the Endowment is intended to exist in perpetuity, unforeseen circumstances may alter or remove the subject area from the campus academic plan or it may become impossible, impracticable or wasteful to administer. In such an event, the Chancellor is authorized to redesignate the purpose of the Endowment, after taking into consideration the designated endowment purpose.

RNPH BOA/FOSI Mark DeAntonio Term Chair in Psychiatry: We are pleased to announce the appointment of Benjamin Schneider, MD, DF-AACAP as the inaugural holder of the Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital Board of Advisors/Friends of the Semel Institute Mark DeAntonio Term Chair in Psychiatry. This new Chair was conceived of in the wake of the untimely death of Mark DeAntonio, who spent decades as Chief of the RNPH Child/Adolescent Inpatient Service, caring for some of the mostly seriously ill children and teens anywhere, and training generations of child psychiatrists and allied professionals.
