A California legislator this week proposed a bill to prohibit salary increases for top college officials in years in which they raise tuition, The Chronicle of Higher Education reports.

A measure, by Sen. Leland Yee, a Democrat, would apply to presidents, chancellors, vice chancellors and general counsels at the University of California, California State and the state’s community-college system. Mr. Yee has been a vocal critic of the University of California’s pay policies in recent years.
