University Of Colorado Tuition Hike Rewards Top Administrators With Raises

The Daily Camera:

The University of Colorado used money generated from last year's 9.3 percent tuition hike to reward many of its top administrators with raises, increasing Chancellor Phil DiStefano's salary by $49,000 to $389,000 and doling out tens of thousands of dollars in salary increases to other high-paid employees.

Nothing like having your own personal bank to write out checks to yourself and your cronies. Regent Carrigan, on the radio this morning, said real issue is the lack of state funding. So I guess he would prefer that the state taxpayers fund these outrageous salaries rather than the tuition students and their parents are paying. Note to Carrigan: you and your buds on the Board of Regents are the problem for not even understanding your fiduciary duties to the state of Colorado, students, and parents, not to Benson and DiStefano, et.al.

Do you why it takes so long to make a college president snowperson?

First, you have to hollow out the head.

If they are getting any federal dollars it should be taken back, this is such BS.

If you can't do, teach; if you can't teach, became a college president. College adminstrations are exceedingly top-heavy. Colleges should be institutions run by their faculties, not by a bunch of back-slapping fund-raisers who pad their pockets first, then start thinking about such things as faculties and students.

Race to the top is the master plan. Use the bad economy to raise fees (tuition) by 9% and give a 13% increase in salary to the top staffers at a public university just last year? They are running these non-profit learning institutions like a publicly traded corporation and making it all about the money. What still got me was learning several weeks ago that a Big 10 coach in Michigan will be getting an annual pension of almost $200K..................from the state of Michigan, as his pension is state funded. SImply unbelievable!! Making millions during his coaching career and getting a pension that big from the state stinks something horrible. The really sick problem is the constant complaining about teachers pensions and salaries who have decided to take a career path of teaching students what they need to learn as they climb the learning ladder. The people who do the complaining need to just sit down and shut up!
