Assemblymember Grayson Comments on the UC Office of the President Oversight Hearing
(SACRAMENTO) – Following today’s joint oversight hearing with testimony from UC President Napolitano, Regent Chair Lozano and State Auditor Howle, Assemblymember Timothy S. Grayson (D – Concord) released the following statement:
“In recent years, UC leadership has pursued higher salaries and bloated administrative budgets while California students have paid increasingly higher tuition and fees. I am deeply troubled by the latest finding that students and their families were asked to pay more for their education while the President’s office maintained a discretionary fund of $175 million. This is wrong and our students and families deserve answers as to why this discretionary fund was kept secret.”
