Californians face mortgage defaults, 12% unemployment, pay reductions, loss of unemployment benefits. University of California shares sacrifices: no layoff or wage concessions for Chancellors, Faculty. If wages better elsewhere, chancellors, vice chancellors, tenured, non tenured faculty, UCOP apply for the positions. If wages are what commit to UC, leave for better paying position. UC wages must reflect California's ability to pay, not what others are paid. There is no good reason to raise tuition, fees during the longest, deepest recession in California’s history when wage concessions are available from Chancellors, Faculty. The sky will not fall on UC. Share the sacrifices UC President, Faculty, Chancellors, Vice Chancellors, UCOP: No furloughs 18 percent reduction in UCOP salaries & $50 million cut. 18 percent prune of campus chancellors', vice chancellors' salaries. 15 percent trim of tenured faculty salaries, increased teaching load 10 percent decrease in non-tenured faculty salaries, as well as increase research, teaching load 100% elimination of all Academic Senate, Academic Council costs, wages.

(17,000 UC paid employees earn more than $100,000)

UC Board of Regents Chair Sherry Lansing can bridge the public trust gap with reassurances that salaries of Chancellors Faculty reflect depressed California wages.

The sky will not fall on the 10 campuses with UC’s shared sacrifices.

This guy is a single issue mulit-forum spammer who apparently has a grudge against UC. Look at his posting history and then do a google search of his text.

As I’ve been saying for years, new leadership in academia, too. But the transition will be much more thorough after the end of the default process.
