Paying the president
About a week ago, University President
Mary Sue Coleman accepted a 4-percent
raise that set her base salary at $553,500.
Coleman has been offered a pay raise
every year since taking the position in
2002, but the decision is not an automatic
one.
It is the end result of an annual review
that begins with the University Board of
Regents.
The Personnel, Compensation and Gov-
ernance Committee - currently consist-
ing of regents Andrew Richner (R-Grosse
Pointe Park), Julia Darlow (D-Ann Arbor)
and S. Martin Taylor (D-Grosse Pointe
Farms) - develops its recommendations
regarding salary after reviewing the work
and performance of the president.
They also look at market comparison
data, including salaries of presidents of at
other public and private universities.
Following this review, the chair of the
committee presents findings to the entire
Board of Regents along with a recommen-
dation.
If a regent seconds the motion, the
entire board takes a vote.
Coleman's salary consists of deferred
compensation, retirement pay, a reten-
tion bonus and an expense account.
In a survey conducted by the Chronicle
of Higher Education last year, Coleman
ranked sixth among the highest compen-
sated public University presidents.
In an e-mail statement, University
spokeswoman Kelly Cunningham said
Coleman's recent salary increase "its full,
unqualified support for President Cole-
man."
