New UC Davis Chancellor Gary May earns $325,780 a year from outside board seats

Newly selected UC Davis Chancellor Gary May stands to earn $325,780 a year sitting on outside boards, a form of compensation that prompted criticism last year for predecessor Linda P.B. Katehi. May earned $288,280 in cash and stock in 2015 as a member of the board of Leidos, a Virginia-based defense and technology company, according to the most recent public filing showing his compensation.
