Regents OK raise for new UC Berkeley chief

Nicholas B. Dirks will receive $50,000 more than his predecessor in a move opposed by Gov. Jerry Brown even though the money comes from private funds.

Despite strong opposition from Gov. Jerry Brown, the UC Board of Regents on Tuesday gave the incoming chancellor of UC Berkeley a $50,000 — or 11.4% — pay raise over the current campus head. The extra money will come from private donations, not state funds, the regents said.
