Via Curbed: an interview with Mark Yudof, president of the University of California.

When you began your job last year, your annual compensation was reportedly $828,000.
It actually was $600,000 until I cut my pay by $60,000. So my salary is $540,000, but it gets amplified because people say, “You have a pension plan.”

What about your housing allowance? How much is the rent on your home in Oakland?
It’s about $10,000 a month.

Um...is he living in the Hills or something? I'm pretty sure you can rent pretty sweet places for less than half that in Oakland.

Oh. My. God. $10,000 a month? For RENT? Jesus christ. I would think you could 'rent' a fucking mansion for less than half of that. Even in the hills. That's crazy talk.

yeah...and it's paid for on TOP of his salary.

can we just cut his salary by $10k a month and then use that savings to pay off my student loans, along with everybody else's? Jeeez.
