San Francisco Chronicle: Regents to consider raising pay for some of system’s professors
University of California administrators want to spend an estimated $70 million over the next four years to boost the salaries of professors whose pay is not deemed competitive in the academic job market.
The proposal, to be heard Thursday by UC’s governing Board of Regents during its meeting at the Santa Barbara campus, is intended to bring professors’ basic salaries more in line with competing universities, said UC Provost Rory Hume. The university has not determined exactly how many professors will receive the increases.
