State Senate GOP Leader Bob Huff is opposing current CSU Board of Trustees Chair Herb Carter’s reappointment to the Trustees due to his overseeing administrator salary increases during the same time student fees were increased and the Governor had voiced opposition to the raises.
Via flashreport.org, State Senate GOP Leader Bob Huff:
Members of the Senate Republican Caucus shared the governor’s concerns regarding administrative pay packages. The governor’s concerns and his specific request were not addressed.
On the same day that the CSU Board of Trustees voted to increase administrators’ salaries, they also voted to increase student fees.
I cannot recommend that Trustee Carter’s nomination be confirmed by the Senate until such time as Californians see real evidence that the CSU Trustees are making the tough decisions needed to control escalating costs that are being passed onto students and their families.
