As We See It: Protesting UC fees - Santa Cruz Sentinel:
"It's probably not coincidental that for nearly two weeks one of the most popular, and searched for, items on the Sentinel's Web site has been a database listing salaries of UC Santa Cruz employees.
A survey of that database revealed that 25 administrators and professors made more than $200,000 in 2008 -- but that overall, UCSC compensation lags behind most other University of California campuses.
Public interest in what the top echelon is getting paid correlates directly with what UC regents did last week. They raised student fees by 32 percent over the next two years -- which will cost many students, or their parents, an additional $2,500 to attend a UC campus. The cost of attending UC, including room and board, will soon be close to $30,000 a year."
