Parents of children in UCLA's Early Care and Education program are demanding a voice in the five-year review of Dean Christina Christie, following a teacher's conviction for child sexual abuse. - Two anonymous parents cite lack of oversight and transparency under Christie's leadership.

- They are organizing a petition to allow parent input in the review process. - UCLA Media Relations did not respond to requests for comment.

- Parents suggest moving ECE out of Ed&IS and creating an independent oversight committee. The review committee will make a recommendation to Chancellor Julio Frenk.
