Just Got Paid


In this day and age of cutting budgets, this story gets a rise out of me.

4 percent pay raises OK'd for university presidents

Iowa State University President Gregory Geoffroy's salary increased $16,920, to $440,248

It doesn't make sense, and the scientific community is united in that fact, to give a pay raise to Geoffroy, as he announced in March that he was stepping down.

The classiest act appears to be University of Northern Iowa President Ben Allen.

Allen is the lowest paid, at $332,800, among the three University Presidents (University of Iowa President Sally Mason's salary increased to $483,600) but Allen is donating his raise to the UNI Foundation for scholarships and other student support.
