Former Los Angeles Lakers executive Tim Harris is consulting for UCLA’s chancellor, Julio Frenk, according to multiple reports. Harris, a UCLA alumnus, is stepping into a role that uses his experience in marketing and business operations to advise the university.
Both outlets describe the arrangement as volunteer-based, with Harris providing expertise rather than taking a standard paid position. The reporting characterizes the move as a return to his alma mater and highlights his long career working in senior business roles for the Lakers.
While the sources focus on similar details—Harris’ background and the fact that the consultancy is connected to Chancellor Frenk—each outlet frames it slightly differently, with attention to how the opportunity benefits UCLA. No further information about specific projects, timelines, or deliverables is included in the provided excerpts, and neither source names additional staff or formal titles beyond the consulting capacity.
