The Daily Californian has an article today by Travis Donselman titled “Salaries Responsible for Budget Gap”
The full article is at: http://www.dailycal.org/printable.php?id=109408
An excerpt follows:
The amount of the University budget gap is half of the $1 billion or so the University doles out to its 3,650 employees who earn $200,000 a year or more. To put this in perspective, that means for each UC campus 365 people earn more than 96 percent of Californians. It also means that the “severe financial challenges,” as the UC Office of the President likes to call its budget problems, are as much a product of Oakland as Sacramento.
Arguments about being competitive are as bankrupt as the UC professes to be. By selectivity, the UC Riverside’s business school ranks below San Diego State’s and just above Cal State San Bernardino’s. Yet the $370,000 salary of the UCR business school dean is more than what the president of either campus makes. It is hundreds of thousands more than what these schools’ business deans make.
