Tuesday, Sept. 21,1993
Welty to get possible pay hike
Board of Trustees
to consider pay
increase.
By Grant Johnson
StaffWriter "
Last week, in a meeting of the
California State University Board
of Trustees, one ofthe
major subjects dis-
cussed was an execu¬
tive compensation
policy that will in¬
crease the CSU presi¬
dents' salaries.
The presidents
have not had a pay
increase in nearly
three years and in the
words of Chancellor
Barry Munitz, "the presidential
salaries are falling further and fur¬
ther behind, so pushed down that
we, (CSU Campuses), are losing
presidential, vice presidential, and
dean candidates."
The policy, which the board
approved unanimously, is based
on many different elements, in¬
cluding induvidual performance,
surveys of comparable public and
private institutions, cost-of-living
differences and recruitment and
retention experience.
In reference to the many com¬
plaints that come when adminis¬
trative salaries are increased, Chan¬
cellor Munitz commented, "there's
never a good time to have this
conversation, but the further we
fall behind, we lose our ability to
recruit and retain quality
induviduals. "Right now, the presi¬
dents are not being paid fairly."
The average base salary for a
CSU president is $120,075, com¬
pared with an average of S167,675

cellor. At the twenty institutions
The presidential salaries are
falling further .and further
behind,"
—Chancellor Barry Munitz
that were found comparable to the
California State Universities by
the California Postsecondary Edu¬
cation Commission (CPEC), the
average salary for a State Univer¬
sity president is $ 144.908, twenty-
one percent htgbet than itoaver-
age CSU presideht's pay.
According to the policy adopted
by the board, the CSUs will try to
establish a total cash compensa¬
tion for CSU presidents equaj to
the average at the twenty compa¬
rable institutions.
"I'm pleased that we finally got
to this subject," stated Board Chair
Tony Vitti. "It's been a 'no-no'
almost from the dayl came to this
board. But it is an issue we cannot
afford to put off any longer."
Chancellor Munitz will also re¬
view and reccomend new levels of
housing allowances for the presi¬
dents who use their personal resi¬
dences for fund-raising, commu¬
nity and academic events. Cur¬
rently, allowances* range from
$3,600 to $26,400 annually. J
Calling someof the figures "de¬
structively silly,"
Munitz said he would
like to provide the presi¬
dents between $1,000
and $1,800 monthly,
($12,000-$21,600 annu¬
ally,) depending on real
estate and the cost-of-
living in the different
areas.
No salary increases
were approved at this
meeting. But, the chancellor will
bring induvidual recommenda¬
tions to the board at the Nov. meet¬
ing. He has proposed that the
housing allowances take effect at
that time, with the salary increases
canting in Jan. or April, 1994)
around the same time the salary
raises will take place for faculty
and staff.
Trustee Ted Saenger applauded
the policy and the process, calling
it a "balanced approach," while
Trustee Ralph Pesqueira said that
"quality comes with a cost."
Harold Goldwhite, chair of the
Statewide Academic Senate, said
President Welly's current salary falls well behind comparable
universities.
that the Senate had not taken a
position on the increases, but that
they have "no argument with the
general thrust" of the policy. He
did, however, remind the Board
that the faculty are also underpaid
and that presidential and faculty
salary increases should come in
tandem.
In supporting the policy, Trustee
Claudia Hampton called the CSU
presidents "the best collection of
administrators you'll find anywhere
in the United States."
