ByLisaLeff TheAssociatedPress SAN FRANCISCO The Uni- versity of California had 28 employees who made more than $1 million last year — an elite group comprised of athletic coaches, doc- tors and hospital chief ex- ecutives. The university system re- leased the data on Tuesday containing detailed payroll information for employees. The top-earner within the UC system and among all state workers was Jim Mora, head football coach at UCLA. Mora's total com- pensation was $3.5 million, with all but $300,000 com- ing in bonuses and perfor- mance incentives. UCLA head basketball coach, Steve Alford, the top payee in 2013, came in sec- ond last year, earning $2.7 million. Next in line was Dr. Khalil Tabsh, a specialist in maternal fetal medicine and obstetrics at UCLA. He made $2.3 million, the vast majority through research contracts and grants. The current and former head football coaches at UC Berkeley, Sony Dykes and Jeff Tedford, respectively, also placed in the top 10 along with three surgeons, a pathologist who special- izes in skin disorders, and the chief executive of UC San Francisco Medical Cen- ter. "UC competes in many different labor markets for personnel — faculty, physi- cians, nurses, technology experts, administrative staff, investment personnel and others," the report on salaries stated. "To compete in these markets, UC must follow market practices as closely as possible." The university said its 200,100-person payroll reached $12.6 billion in 2014, a 7.5 percent increase from a year earlier. Fees associated with treating patients and other sources of revenue from teaching hospitals and the research of medical faculty covered 39 percent of that amount, while state fund- ing and student tuition ac- counted for 23 percent. Nearly all of the remain- der came from sources such as the federal government, private contracts, grants and gifts. Among senior execu- tives, medical center CEOs grossed the most, from a low of $837,241 to a high of $1.6 million. The system's asso- ciate chief investment offi- cer, senior manager of fixed income assets and chief in- vestment officer also earned in the high six figures. University President Janet Napolitano made $584,611 and has declined a 3 percent cost-of-living raise that all other non- unionized employees are getting next year. At least 33 public uni- versity presidents or chan- cellors had earnings above Napolitano, according to a survey by the Chronicle of Higher Education. Most public universities do not make their compen- sation data readily avail- able, so it's difficult to know if UC has fewer or more em- ployees with incomes ex- ceeding $1 million than peer institutions. The Texas Tribune, an online news organization, reported this year that the University of Texas system, which enrolls 28,000 fewer students than the Univer- sity of California, has nine employees making $1 mil- lion or more. The State University of New York system, which enrolls twice as many stu- dents as UC, had no $1 mil- lion-plus earners last year, according to Empire Cen- ter, a non-profit think tank. At UC campuses, over- time pay and night shift differentials helped boost the base salaries of many nurses and campus police officers, sometimes signifi- cantly. Two police sergeants at UC Irvine, for example, managed to out-earn their chief by nearly doubling their base salaries through overtime. Aside from doctors, fac- ulty members who made the most came from the fields of law, business and economics.
