We previously blogged the brouhaha over allegations of excessive and hidden pay in the University of California system sparked by a series of articles in the San Francisco Chronicle. The Task Force on UC Compensation, Accountability, and Transparency formed in response to the allegations has released its report, which concludes:
UC needs a sea change in current policies and practices, as well as in a University culture long accustomed to using exceptions to work around inadequate or obsolete policies rather than establishing and ensuring compliance with clear guidelines. To institutionalize and sustain the Task Force’s recommendations, the University must focus simultaneously on disclosure and transparency, governance and accountability, and competitive compensation.
