UC Regents take a stand for accountability
According to an article in the San Jose Mercury News, the University of California Board of Regents has put the brakes on the rehiring of retired employees. This move was prompted after the media revealed that taxpayers in the state of California were paying the UC-Berkeley police chief a whopping salary of $194,000 a year after she had taken a $2.1 million retirement package. According to university spokesman Paul Schwartz, the police chief was one of an estimated 1,900 UC employees retired and rehired -- and, in this case, without searching for a replacement. The Regents' new policy is designed to prohibit such costly, wasteful practices and to keep the best interests of tuition-paying students, parents, and taxpayers in mind. Bravo!
