UC President Janet Napolitano held another Google Hangout session last week. This time, the UC president conversed with UC staff members, answering questions from different UC representatives.
Napolitano first began the session by answering an inquiry regarding staff salaries. According to her, staff members are currently being paid different wages for doing the same type or amount of work throughout the 10 UC campuses. She went on to assure that the UC is working on appropriately adjusting wages across the system, however.
She also presented goals she has for staff members and the UC system, including: creating a universitywide system that will alert employees when new job opportunities arise within the UC, encouraging individual universities to run IT programs that affect their campuses directly and helping UC staff members develop more leadership and project management skills.
She went on to commend current staff members for all of the work they’ve done over the years. “I have been impressed … with their longevity in the university. It really demonstrates their commitment,” she said.
