Khosla became the highest-paid Chancellor in the UC system after he received a $500,000 annual raise in April 2023, bringing his total salary to $1.14 million.
The encampment lasted until May 6, when it ended with police forces in riot gear and carrying batons disassembling the camps and dispersing the protesters.
[27] University correspondence stated that the decision to deploy police forces was due to concerns over campus safety and accessibility, claiming the encampment had severely disrupted these aspects as it had grown to three times its original size.
The Literature, Ethnic Studies, and Music departments of UC San Diego released statements in opposition to the University's handling of the encampment, signed by some of their respective faculty members.
The United Auto Workers (UAW) decided to vote for authorization to strike in response to the clearing of the encampment, as union members were among those arrested.
Khosla was sued in June 2019 by former UC San Diego associate vice chancellor of Health Sciences Jean Ford.
Ford's lawsuit alleged that Chancellor Khosla verbally harassed and discriminated against female employees during her time at UC San Diego.
