That actually is kind of low for an IT professional living in CA.
On the face of it, this is a blatant violation of the spirit if not the letter of the law that allows the execrable H1B visas. Whomever in DoS/DoL approved the statement of need should be transferred forthwith to the mail room pending a dismissal hearing. The same goes for the school’s HR department.
That said, the IT world evolves quickly. Any IT professional should be constantly training to upgrade their skill set, whether company paid or self-financed (it’s deductible). It is possible that the RFP was written in the tradition of sole-source RFPs from the beginning of time.
However, it strains credulity to think there are no recent grads from the very same University system who would not be hireable. Heck, it would even boost their placement numbers! If I was the parent of a recent un/under-employed grad, I’d be raising holy heck with the Regents, uttering “implied warranty of merchantability.” Any school that had a waiver of that warranty in their admissions process should lose their accreditation.
THIS NEEDS TO STOP!!! DJT, TAKE NOTICE!
Both :P
Yes.
That will be changing and is changing.
Of course in California, we don’t have a Republican party involved with the UC system or anything.
“It costs more to live in San Francisco than just about anywhere else in the U.S. I doubt that $114k provides for a lavish lifestyle.”
They probably put them into dorms like the Silicon Valley corporations do.

They don't have to live here to do IT work as per this from the article!
Ho, who earns about $100,000, told the LA Times that he spent two days training his replacement in a process that UCSF called "knowledge transfer."
"He told me he would go back to India and train his team and would be sending me e-mails with questions," Ho said.
Wow. This BS needs to be corrected.
The problem that I've written about each time, is the career employee.
These are likely IT professionals in the University system. Their salaries inflate as they promote or advance on their career ladders.
Even if retrained to current demand, there will always be new hires who can be paid starting wages. H-1B abuse is about firing the long-term career worker because the business doesn't want to pay the salary that escalated over 25 years.

As I mentioned I lived there until June last year, I am well aware we are talking about now, there are 32 people in our office 28 of them do not make over $100,000 and all live there or within 45 minutes, those coming on board in the last 5 years avg is around $50,000 starting out- they do not all own homes but most 20-30 yo IT workers probably don’t. Do you think someone making $100,000 living in SF is not able to afford to live there?
Spending billions of dollars for free education for illegals but saving $30 million by firing Americans. Sounds like California.
I would agree for an IT professional that is living in California but I gathered from this article these people are or now we can say were mid to low level operatives probably not working cutting edge technology but rather keeping a system moving.
Unions did a GREAT JOB of protecting these workers/s
You done N A I L E D it : )
No capitalist PATRIOT would disagree with you....put it that way.
What's your point? That they deserved to be replaced by an H-1b making a third as much?
The Indian IT slaves will be lucky to get $10k
No my point was that in my eyes $114,000 is a lot for a mid to low level state employee
