Last week, Chancellor Robert Birgeneau issued a letter skirting around the icky-ness of Proposition 8. But some students aren’t so happy about the chancellor meddling in such affairs.
If passed, the proposition would eliminate the right to marry for same-sex couples and, as Birgeneau argued, would undermine Berkeley principles. Birgeneau did not outright stump against the proposition, but he concluded his letter with:
The University of California released its employee compensation report, and it’s really no surprise that coach Jeff Tedford topped the list of breadwinners.
Last year, Tedford took home more than $2.8 million–that’s out of about $14 million doled out to athletic coaches across the UC system. Also among the top ten are other coaches and health sciences faculty from UC Berkeley, UC San Francisco and UCLA.
And dear ol’ Chancellor Robert Birgeneau? Well, BobBi didn’t even come close with his measly $430,116. C’mon, the dude needs a living wage, people.

UC Releases Employee Compensation Report [Daily Cal]
Earlier this week, UC Berkeley Chancellor Robert “Canuck Bobbby” Birgeneau announced a $113 million dollar donation to the campus. The grant from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation is the largest gift in the history of the campus. The university claims that the money will fund 100 endowed chairs across the campus. However, using our leet reporting skillz, the Clog has uncovered the real programs on which the money will be spent. A breakdown of the gift:
* $33 million to hire Rudy Giuliani as a consultant to work on ways to strengthen the Memorial Stadium fence.
* $14 million in emergency spending to help Beetle fight his crippling addiction to caring about the ASUC.
* $23 million to buy Jeff Tedford a solid-gold golf cart to ride around on during football games.
* $100 billion to take over the world. OK, so we’re a little short. - according to Christine
