New CSU chief requests pay cut to help system LOS ANGELES — e California State University board of trustees on Wednesday ap- proved a $380,000 salary for the system’s incoming chancellor that included a 10 percent pay cut at his request. e board had been set to ap- prove the administration’s recom- mended salary of $421,500 for Timothy P. White, the current president of Cal State-Riverside who is slated to replace retiring Chancellor Charles Reed on Dec. 31. e amount was the same that Reed currently earns. But in a letter to the board, White requested a 10 percent pay cut, saying it was his contribution to help the 23-campus system’s ailing finances. e board instead approved a $380,000 state-funded salary. e rest of the compensa- tion package remained the same — a $30,000 salary sup- plement comprising privately raised funds from the California State University Foundation and a $1,000 monthly vehicle allowance. White will live in the chancel- lor’s residence in Long Beach. White’s move immediately garnered kudos. Executive compensation has been a sensitive topic at CSU over the past year as the board has granted 10 percent pay raises to a slew of new campus presidents at a time when students and faculty were reeling from tuition hikes, reduced enrollment and layoffs. e 427,000-student system has lost about $800 million in state funds over the past four years. State Sen. Leland Yee, a frequent board critic, lauded White’s move as an important symbolic gesture of commitment to students. “For too long, the CSU ad- ministration has been more fo- cused on enriching their execu- tives than on the betterment of the university as a whole,” the San Francisco Democrat said in a statement. “Fortunately, Chancellor White appears to have a different set of values.” e board also approved a $4.5 billion budget for 2013-14 that includes a request to the state Legislature for $372 million in additional public funds. e spending plan calls for increasing enrollment by 5 per- cent, or 20,000 students, as well as funding additional courses for current students. “is budget request is a gen- uine reflection of the fiscal needs of the university, but moderated by the reality of the state’s fiscal challenges,” said Robert Turnage, assistant vice chancellor for budget. Increasing enrollment will cost about $156 million, and will generate about $70 million in revenue. e budget also includes $86.3 million to give 3 percent raises to faculty and staff, subject to labor contracts, and $50 million for ur- gent maintenance needs.

White will live in the chancel-lor’s residence in Long Beach.

Executive compensation has been a sensitive topic at CSU over the past year as the board has granted 10 percent pay raises to a slew of new campus presidents at a time when students and faculty were reeling from tuition hikes,

The board also approved a $4.5 billion budget for 2013-14 that includes a request to the state Legislature for $372 million
in additional public funds. The spending plan calls for
increasing enrollment by 5 per-cent, or 20,000 students, as well as funding additional courses for current students.
