Barclay Cheng Hal l ties cut as board resigns and name removal planned
Cheng wrote to Farnsworth that her family wants to end all ties with the Barclay theater at UC Irvine including removing the Cheng name from the venue walks. She cited upheaval from interim leadership under Mandel and recent programming decisions. Cheng had been board chair in 2018 and resigned in 2019 over disputes. Farnsworth, now chair, says he will step down this December after leading the board following Rankin's departure.
