The Board of Regents voted Friday to award the three raises as recommended in a salary study by New York-based Sibson Consulting. The firm found Maryland’s university presidents were paid below their peers, with University of Maryland, College Park President Wallace Loh’s salary of $600,000 in the 43rd percentile. The board approved a $75,000 raise for Loh.
Representatives of faculty and students generally expressed support for the raises.
A.J. Pruitt, the president of the Student Government Association at the University of Maryland, College Park, said he believes Loh’s performance justifies a salary increase, although he would like to see resources spread elsewhere on campus as well.

Editor's Note: "Salisbury University President Janet Dudley-Eshbach’s salary of about $385,000 will increase by $20,000."
The board of regents must think the peers are Ivy League schools, not a public University system.
ReplyDeleteSo now a lowly Salisbury University public college president will be making what the commander-in-chief and president of the United States of America earns for his 24 hours a day, 365 days a year job? That's a ridiculous waste of taxpayer money. I'm sure she can't make that kind of money anywhere else. There's no way that job is worth that kind of money, if the President of the USA is not worth any more than that. She is not president of a country, and the budget she oversees, while undoubtedly a big one, is not a multi-trillion dollar budget. Her budget is chump change compared to Trump's.

ReplyDeleteThe whole university college system is a JOKE.Problem is the jokes on us paying for this crap with our hard earned tax $
ReplyDeleteIf the governor of Maryland is in charge of all of Maryland, then why does he make about 1/3 the salary of one of his employees? So, who's the boss in reality?
ReplyDeleteFree food for the SU President?!
ReplyDeleteWith this raise maybe she can afford Nutri System and get healthy
10:41,12:49...thank you for saving me a few words. I never have figured this out in the past years. How can most employees working under you make more money. It has been like this for years. A small college president making more than a governor running the state with many colleges and a president over seeing all the states. Something very wrong with this picture.
ReplyDeleteNot one petson in the world should make that salary! So overpaid it is crazy!!
ReplyDeleteKeep this in perspective folks; what's $20,000.00 to someone who's already paid $385,000.00 per year?
ReplyDeleteThat only a 5.2% raise. That is like a $10.00 an hour employee getting a $.52 raise. I'm sure $20,000.00 doesn't mean a lot to Janet Dudley-Eshbach, but I'm also sure she won't turn it down, just like any other employee will take anything extra that is offered.
That being said, she is already being grossly overpaid, before she gets the raise, for the position she holds.
