7/27/2013 update: OUS has quietly shifted presidential pay from the UO Foundation to state funds and student tuition. Back in 2008, the OUS board approved the final year of Dave Frohnmayer’s presidential contract, with a substantial raise. Contract here. On top of $245,700 in state money and $50K for the “Knight…

3/20/2013 update. Seems like a good time to repost this classic on raises for UO administrators and the efforts JH has made to keep the process secret. You can read the WSJ on UO’s administrative bloat and listen to Bean and Frohnmayer bloviate about UO’s lean administration here.4/3/2012: More than…
7/30/2012: I’m sure there are many underpaid OA’s even after these raises. And many underpaid staff and faculty. Feel free to comment away. Back in November Greg Bolt of the RG had a story on the raises for UO faculty and administrators that led to Richard Lariviere’s firing. This was shortly…
6/15/2012: Bill Graves has the story. Looks like $587,705 plus benefits. Quite high for a school like Oregon State. Gottfredson’s deal is on the rich side too. The high pay for OUS presidents is a holdover from Pernsteiner’s $45,000 consulting deal with Ray Cotton, used to justify a large raise…
5/18/2012: VPSA Robin Holmes was one of three finalists for the VPSA job at Virginia Tech. She withdrew before the campus visits, apparently in return for a raise from $193,128 to $233,000 as of May 1, 2012. If rumor is correct she also got all expense paid trips to the…
11/3/2011: “Bad Politics, Good Policy: The UO invests its tuition money in (some) people” RG editorial on the summer UO raises. Love that subhead. So, it’s not exactly a ringing endorsement of the policy. And why should the RG go out on the limb for a UO administration that has…
11/2/2011: Greg Bolt’s story 2 weeks ago in the RG gave the short version of the last 10 years of UO spending priorities: 26% more students, 9% more faculty, 36% more administrators. Today Bolt has a detailed story about the recent UO raises. The short version? The money for the…
10/11/2011: That’s the word from Greg Bolt’s RG article today. Seems more than a bit high for an internal hire with no direct experience in the job. Plus we’ll have to keep paying Dyke to job shadow for 6 months. The Chronicle database reports the median salary for CFO’s at…
9/28/2011: … so long as your job doesn’t involve anything academic, like say teaching, or research. Here’s a dump of payments from OUS, in descending order, from Oregon Gov Docs. I just grabbed the first page – didn’t have the heart to see how far down you need to go…
9/16/2011: Bill Graves of the Oregonian on the UO raises: The report explains the UO jumped at the chance earlier this year to raise salaries and protect quality at a time when state support keeps shrinking. The university was careful to avoid merit or across-the-board pay increases, said Russ Tomlin, …
9/7/2011: Seems like a good time to repost the data on UO faculty salaries produced by Sarah Douglas and Marie Vitulli for UO’s AAU chapter: Full professor salary was at 81% of peers, associates at 86%, assistants at 94%. My guess is that with the June 2011 raises full professors…
4/28/2011: You can make quite a bit of money in academia, as long as your job does not involve teaching students or doing research. We wrote last year about UO General Counsel Randy Geller’s big raise: As GC, Melinda Grier had been paid $184,710 – this was after 12 years…
4/4/2011: Counting benefits, retirement. 2009-2010 data, obtained by the Chronicle of Higher Ed via what I am sure was many, many public records/FOIA requests and published last week: The four-year institutions shown here comprise (public) universities with total fall enrollments of at least 10,000 that are classified by the Carnegie…
6/8/2010: This is rumor but we hear President Lariviere is still going to push to raise faculty pay. For full prof’s this is the lowest in the AAU by 10% and is currently at 84% of our “peer institutions.” Most of the raises will go to the full’s as a…
1/26/2010: Curious about who is getting UO’s cash? Salary info is now online, at http://ir.uoregon.edu/alpha. Scroll down, or just click here for the fall 2009 quarter. (Big pdf). This is the “Salary Book” that is also in the reserve room. Top 10? Obviously these numbers leave out a lot: Millions…
