<p>TheDad, I don’t know what the $ amount is for the salary range for a chancellor at UCSC. I understand that UCSC has to be competitive with other state universities with similar enrollment to be able to recruit someone deemed qualified to manage a growing campus amidst hostile town-gown relationship. However, Denton was hired with a package that was in violation of UC hiring policy. That was the impetus for all the “animus” directed at Denton, not by the board of regents , but by the students themselves. She was physically confronted several times on campus and she felt threatened. She left campus and was not present at the commencement exercises two weeks ago.</p>
<p>I should hope that any future hirings of top executives by our UCs however creative their pay packages are, should be within guidelines.</p>
