Salisbury university is highest tuition because the top positions there recieve significant raises every year. Check the public information on it...
ReplyDeleteActually, 7:59, SU's tuition is highest because they receive FAR less state funding per student than other institutions in the USM. Why don't you check the public information on that - you'll actually be able to find that information, unlike the "significant raises" you claim SU folks are receiving every year...
ReplyDeleteActually 926 its sad if they lack state funding and yet the top seated folk still stuff their pockets. Its not a claim, stay blind to the truth if you wish, I won't spoon feed the information to you. Compare salaries for the past 5 years and you will see.
ReplyDeleteAgree with 1026 they act as if the constraints of the fiscal situation are damaging to employees state wide and low and behold, they receive significant increases during a fiscal crisis where as 2% is almost taken from the state employee population- yet their increases are far above that. The students should stand up against this.
ReplyDeleteJoe- you should expose some of these individuals at the top for what they are. Do freedom of information and show everyone what the university is doing while the rest of the state population suffers.
ReplyDeleteSU employees ARE state employees, and we lost our 2% COLA (and then had it reinstated) just like everyone else. I can't comment on the absolute top-ranking officials, but I can assure you that not all people in administrative positions are paid well. I'm certainly not...
ReplyDeleteI believe this is referring to top ranking from the sound of it
ReplyDeleteAt least at SU there's not the blatant nepotism and "created" positions for spouses of high ranking faculty and staff as there is in the University of Maryland universities on the other shore. Those postions cost the public millions every year, and most of them are irrelevant to the process of academic learning.
