After the UC Regents voted to increment employee contributions to the pension plan, they rapidly moved to the side past times side of import business, which was to vote for particular compensation packages for roughly of the highest paid people inwards the system.   As State Senator Leland Lee wrote inwards a press release, the regents voted for executive salary increases totaling $6 million, too they likewise approved the excogitation to hire to a greater extent than administrators for a an additional $2.4 1 K k annually.  My favorite example of executive excess is UCLA Medical Center CEO David Feinberg who got a $400,000 heighten too volition at nowadays brand $1,330,000 per year.
So subsequently roughly other budget presentation most the huge UC deficit, which may require roughly other circular of pupil fee increases, the regents too senior management must accept gone to their 2nd brains inwards gild to approve a serial of obscene compensation packages. I precisely practise non empathize how they tin give the sack justify cutting the benefits too full compensation of most of the employees, piece they straight off deed to increment the pay too benefits of the highest earners.
As I told President Yudof during my populace comment minute, non alone does it await similar the academy is intent on robbing the piteous to give to the rich, but they encompass this contrary income distribution amongst a rhetoric of fairness too equity. I likewise said that if he wants to position together a chore strength to reshape benefits, it makes no feel to accept nix matrimony representation on the chore force. After all, 45% of the people inwards the pension excogitation are unionized, too whatever novel bargain volition accept to larn through the unions, too thence why does Yudof proceed to kind tasks forces too commissions that exclude almost one-half of the employees?
On a brighter banking corporation notation Bob Anderson too Dan Simmons from the Academic Council asked roughly tough questions too made roughly positive statements. Perhaps nosotros at nowadays accept an academic council that volition concur the regents too senior management accountable.
