San Francisco Chronicle: UC regents, facing budget cuts, raise chief of staff’s salary 26%
The UC Board of Regents got a gloomy list of options on Thursday to cover a projected $417 million gap in state funding next year, but they smiled brightly on their top administrative aide by awarding her a 26 percent pay increase of $61,000.
The raise boosted the annual salary of Secretary/Chief of Staff Diane Griffiths to $295,000 and came less than a year after she was hired.
Minutes later, the board received a dire budget report that included possible student fee increases of up to 10 percent, freezing faculty salaries and turning away as many as 5,000 eligible students this fall.
