Interesting bit of UC News
I just found this the other day.
And here is the part that really pissed me off.
I find it hard to believe that somebody in the UC got a bonus that large, especially when they are already being paid such an extravagant amount.
Overall, I fear that these stories of UC hypocrisy are just a part of what will eventually be the great downfall of our state's prestigious university system. We have dramatically increased fees and seen no real effort to increase the numbers of unrepresented, while still working hard to keep our football programs in tact and renovate our stadiums. It seems we have forgotten our priorities of academia and a public education... but hopefully, I am dead wrong.
The cash-strapped University of California handed out $2.4 million in bonuses to administrators at its five medical schools, angering campus workers and students.
The payments to 65 administrators averaged $36,000 and reached as high as $82,000, according to a report to the UC Board of Regents made public by an employee union.
And here is the part that really pissed me off.
The largest bonus went to UC Davis Medical Center Chief Executive Officer Robert Chason, who received the $82,000, 20 percent of his annual salary of $410,000.
