Legislation would strip UC of independence

Legislation introduced this week would strip the University of California of most of its constitutional independence, a move the university called "absurd."

The constitutional amendment was proposed by a bipartisan group of lawmakers led by Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco, who said UC spends too much on administrative salaries. The measures, which must be approved by both legislators and voters, would put the 10-campus university system under legislative control.
