Line 22:	Line 20:
- * That has nothing to do with the Regents howvever, just our location. If anything it's much worse, if they can justify the highest UC fee by saying that our cost of living is comparatively lower anyway. $1000 is a whole lot of a difference. But look into those articles first Mya. UC employees have been found to have much lower wages then comparable positions at other universities and the CSU's. Aggie ran at least 5 articles about it alone, and the SF Chronicle and Sac Bee did a little more. Normal employees get nothin', yet top execs get mad extra? That's just weak. They didn't want to wait for the state budget stuff before the vote (in the hopes more money is allocated to the UC's). Rather, they decided to raise fees and maybe lower fees if that happens. The fee increases this year are expected to bring in $147.9 million. ''Undergraduate students, who have seen fees nearly doubled from $3,859 to $6,802 over the last four years, will pay $7,294 next year.'' Ouch. That's a huge change. And this is the 5th year in a row. And hasn't this come with a cut in student aid too? ''The newspaper also found that UC added hundreds of high-paid jobs at a time when it says it has been forced to boost student fees, cut services, increase class sizes and freeze pay for thousands of lower-paid workers. Last fiscal year, UC paid 496 people more than $300,000, up '''54 percent''' from two years ago. The number of employees who earned at least $200,000 jumped '''30 percent''' over two years to 2,275. The increase is due to a combination of raises, promotions and new hires. '' Again, with so many normal employees underpaid, everything from service to nurses to medical and clerical employees, that's just weak. THe UTPE union went on strike this last year - because of a 33% turnover rate. Those were the research and technical employees. How could such a huge sum of money go to all kinds of things this last year, and yet they are underpaid, and arguably some of the most important employees (as this is a research university) be given nothing for a few years - while a huge chunk of that $871 million went to research and grants and stuff. The [http://californiaaggie.com/article/?id=7525 study] that found service workers where getting ''15 percent less than their counterparts at CSUs, and 26 percent less than their counterparts at community colleges.'' That's a heckuva difference. The report said that it is so low, it can't cover their cost of living. That's deplorable. And looking at a change from $3859 to $7294 in fees is a lot more difficult hearing all about how much hidden money is spent by the Regents, including increasing their own salaries. -["EdwinSaada" ES] - * Follow up to some of that. ''Some of UC's food service and custodial employees brought sleeping bags and pillows to UCSF Medical School Dean David Kessler's office to ask if they could stay at his house. They decided to stage the demonstration after learning that he quietly received a $125,000 relocation allowance and a low-interest loan after moving to San Francisco from Connecticut. That's in addition to his $540,000 salary, $30,000 for six months' rent and actual moving expenses.'' Those service workers were the ones so underpaid they can't handle the cost of living. - * 496 people at 300k = 148.8 million. If it raised 50%, it was at 99.9mil. 2275 people at 200k = 455mil. If it raised 30%, it was at 350 mil. That right there is over 150 million. A lot more spending too, that is part of 871 million that is not included in salaries and overtime. And the Chronicle reports unknown 'fringe benefits' too. Bonus incentives this last year totaled $39 million. 30 million in stripends. Another $172 million went for relocation allowances, fellowships and temporary work outside of employees' normal duties. Any way you cut it, it all adds up to far more then the 150 million student fees brings in. Which is why it's weak. :( - * There's something important that those newspapers failed to mention. Many of the profs on the high pay list bring in money to the University via personal grants, patents, etc. So, a person making $300,000 may actually be generating millions of dollars in revenue for the UC. I don't see a problem with those folks getting the big bucks, they've earned their keep, but that still doesn't address why the bureaucrats and regents are making so much extra dough.

Regents meetings are traditionally split into two-day segments, falling on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Typically, on Wednesdays the regents discuss public matters; on Thursdays they handle actions held in closed section (i.e., personnel related issues).

- '''Q.''' You pay them thousands of dollars per quarter, but who are these so called "Regents?"	+ In a nutshell, the UC Board of Regents is a 26-member board with 18 governor appointees, seven ex-officio members and a student regent. Any major systemwide changes (i.e., fee increases, salary boosts, etc.) to the University of California must be considered and voted on by the regents. A full spread of the board can be found [http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/regents/brochure.pdf here]. The regents are typically men who have a wealth of experience in business. They are essentially appointed to ensure that the UC runs efficiently as a business, which leads many to believe they are detached when it comes to understanding student-related issues. To gain student perspective, however, they employ a [http://www.californiaaggie.com/media/storage/paper981/news/2006/02/02/CampusNews/Student.Regents.Discuss.Job.Application.Process-1596583.shtml?norewrite200604070837&sourcedomain=www.californiaaggie.com student regent] (who lacks voting power). UC Davis law student Adam Rosenthal served as student regent before recently being appointed as an official regent.

- '''A.''' [http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/regents/ Regents]	+ The board of regents most often meets at UC San Francisco-Laurel Heights campus, because the main UC headquarters is located in Oakland (every now and then, however, the board meets at UC San Diego or UCLA). Those wishing to attend these meetings must pre-register for a credential by phone.

- No, really, who are they? I just know they exist and make decisions. For all I know, they wear robes and chant in candle lit rooms where they spend all of our money on financing a coup d'tete in some south american country to finance their cocaine habits while lusting for world power. - - I know there's a student regent, ["Adam Rosenthal"], a law student from UCD. I'm pretty sure he's not in on the whole robe thing. - - And [wiki:WikiPedia:Ward_Connerly Ward Connerly], but he's gone now. - - Who are your favorite regents? Add them here! - - ["ASUCD"]'s ["Campus Center for the Environment"] profiled the 2006 regents in their ["Reorientation Guide"].	+ In most recent news, the UC Board of Regents has been working toward regaining the public's trust in regard to executive pay and compensation disclosure. UC Davis brought a lot of attention on such issues with the Celeste Rose settlement, because the campus did not report this case to the regents. The regents recently adopted a new policy requiring that all settlements, regardless of their circumstances, be reported to the board.

Many of the profs on the high pay list bring in money to the University via personal grants, patents, etc. So, a person making $300,000 may actually be generating millions of dollars in revenue for the UC. I don't see a problem with those folks getting the big bucks, they've earned their keep, but that still doesn't address why the bureaucrats and regents are making so much extra dough.
