The University of California Board of Regents on Friday approved early retirement incentives for faculty and staff to help the system “manage effectively through this fiscal crisis,” UC President Jack W. Peltason said.
Officials estimate that about 4,400 UC employees, about 6% of the full-time work force, may take the early retirements.
