UC defends $2.1 million deal for police chief
UC Berkeley officials are defending an unusual arrangement that allowed Police Chief Victoria Harrison to retire last year with a $2.1 million package and then return to the same job right away for more money.
"No laws were broken," Cal spokeswoman Marie Felde said Thursday. "That's very clear."
UC spokesman Paul Schwartz said the retirement package was consistent with university policy and reflected benefits she rightfully earned.
