Controversy over Salary

The 2006/01/04 San Francisco Chronicle reports some controversy over Berdahl's salary, see [[1]]

When Robert Berdahl resigned in 2004 as chancellor of UC Berkeley, he was given a yearlong leave at his chancellor's salary with the understanding he would return to teaching.

Now Berdahl says he'll leave in May -- after teaching one semester -- to run an academic trade group. But UC officials said he won't have to pay back the $355,000 he earned on leave because UC made an "exception to policy.

Should his bio mention this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.142.12.29 (talk • contribs)

Probably not at this stage. It's only a short stub. If you want to work on this particular article, there's lots of far more important stuff to add first. Andrewa 12:34, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
