UC policy for salary and appointments of senior management group (SMG) positions requires that compensation be reviewed and approved by the regents. Salary and appointments of non-SMG, non-academic employees whose total compensation is higher than $218,000 and whose actions are approved by campuses or other UC locations must be reported to the regents in the next bi-monthly report following approval of the action.
The following appointments, incentive awards and compensation adjustments were approved by the UC Board of Regents today (Sept. 13):
Office of the President
John Stobo, Senior Vice President, Health Sciences and Services
Approval was requested for an annual incentive award of $130,500 for Stobo under the Clinical Enterprise Management Recognition Plan. The award, which represents 22.5 percent of Stobo's base salary of $580,000, recognized success in meeting systemwide goals for fiscal year 2011-12. These included improvement in patient safety, quality of care and coordination of care; reducing expenses and increasing revenue; and addressing challenges related to the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
Stobo was eligible for an award of $159,500, or 27.5 percent of his base salary, based on the clinical enterprise's accomplishments during the 2011-12 plan year. Given the current fiscal environment, he requested that his award be limited to the amount he received for the 2010-11 plan year.
This incentive award is funded entirely by medical center operating revenue. No state funds were used.
Marie Berggren, Chief Investment Officer, Vice President for Investments and Acting Treasurer of the Regents
Approval was requested for an annual incentive award of $744,950 for Berggren under the Office of the Treasurer Annual Incentive Plan. Assets under management total $71.6 billion. For the 2011-12 plan year, the Treasurer's Office added approximately $840 million of value in excess of the benchmark. The requested incentive award is 159 percent of Berggren's base salary of $470,000. Consistent with the Annual Incentive Plan document, the award will be payable in three annual payments, with 50 percent paid in the current plan year (September 2012), 25 percent in the next year (September 2013) and 25 percent in the year thereafter (September 2014).
This incentive award is funded by a combination of state and non-state funds.
Melvin Stanton, Associate Chief Investment Officer, Assistant Treasurer of the Regents
Approval was requested for an annual incentive award of $331,348 for Stanton under the Office of the Treasurer Annual Incentive Plan. Assets under management total $71.6 billion. For the 2011-12 plan year, the Treasurer's Office added approximately $840 million of value in excess of the benchmark. The requested incentive award is 108 percent of Stanton's base salary of $306,800. Consistent with the Annual Incentive Plan document, this award will be payable in three annual payments, with 50 percent paid in the current plan year (September 2012), 25 percent in the next year (September 2013) and 25 percent in the year thereafter (September 2014).
Retroactive approval was also requested for Stanton's Annual Incentive Plan award for the 2010-11 plan year in the amount of $331,348. The retroactive approval is an exception to policy.
This incentive award is funded by a combination of state and non-state funds.
Rachel Nosowsky, Interim Deputy General Counsel, Health Law and Medical Center Services, Office of the General Counsel
Approval was requested for Nosowsky's appointment and compensation, with a retroactive effective date of July 20, 2012. The retroactive appointment is an exception to policy. Nosowsky's current base salary of $215,000 will be supplemented by a $32,250 stipend, or 15 percent of annual base salary, in recognition of her additional duties. Her total annual salary will be $247,250. The stipend amount is based on competitive market data for health law counsel senior management positions and Nosowsky's extensive experience.
This request was in response to the recent departure of Max Reynolds, deputy general counsel, who gave his notice in early July of 2012 and whose last day with OGC was July 19, 2012. A national search for Reynolds' replacement will be conducted; due to the complexity of the search, it is anticipated that it will be four to eight months before a successor is selected. This appointment was made to ensure adequate leadership for the Health Law and Medical Services function during that time.
This position is funded almost equally from the Office of the President Systemwide Assessment and the Office of the General Counsel recharge.
Riverside Campus
Sharon A. Duffy, Dean, University Extension
Approval was requested for Duffy's term appointment effective Oct. 1, 2012, through June 30, 2013, and total annual cash compensation of $184,000. This request is in response to contributions Duffy made in her role as acting dean – University Extension following a failed search for a permanent replacement. The nationwide search for a replacement will begin again in November 2012, with the successful candidate anticipated to begin service on July 1, 2013. This appointment will be effective through June 30, 2013, or until the appointment of a new dean – University Extension, whichever occurs first.
This position is funded entirely through non-state funds.
Irvine Campus
Lorelei A. Tanji, Interim University Librarian
Approval was requested for Tanji's retroactive appointment extension and compensation effective April 1, 2012, and continuing until the effective date of the career appointment described below. The proposed annual base salary of $170,000 is a continuation of Tanji's base salary from April 18, 2011, to present.
Tanji's term appointment as interim University Librarian was approved from April 18, 2011, through March 31, 2012, or until the appointment of a University Librarian, whichever occurred first. Due to an administrative oversight, Tanji continued in the interim appointment with the associated salary from April 1, 2012, to present without regental approval. Since Tanji's service has continued, the campus requested that the regents retroactively approve the extension of the appointment and associated compensation for this period. The retroactive approval is an exception to policy.
In addition, approval was requested for Tanji's appointment and compensation as University Librarian, Irvine campus, with an annual base salary of $200,000. The campus conducted an internal search and selected Tanji based on her performance in the interim role, her extensive service in the UC system and her leadership during a transitional period for the UC Irvine libraries.
