“To me, this was an issue of pay equity … We have an obligation to pay our people well, and we should pay our chancellors well.” That’s what UC Regent Jonathan Sures said after voting to give $100,000+ raises to the UC chancellors. Meanwhile, the majority of Academic Workers spend upwards of 30% of our income on rent or commute long distances to find affordable housing
Well, UC has already taken care of it’s chancellors and now it’s (past) time for the University to match its own rhetoric as it relates to the rest of us. This week, please join thousands of other Academic Workers in telling the University to fix their priorities, and end the egregious rent burden employees face.
