Study finds pay for public college presidents up 5.3 percent confirms once again that it’s good to be king … err … president.
5.3 might be the mean for presidential bumps last year, but once again Maryland leads the way, as (according to the Diamondback reporting of salaries, which may be time-shifted due to how long it takes for public information to trickle out to the public) Wallace Loh jumped almost 15 percent in the last cycle ($526,590.30 to $600,314.00). The 2013 report listed him at $459,000.
Not bad for an era through which most of us have labored under wage freezes imposed by the state.
