AUSTIN, Texas - Many top university administrators in Texas have
received significant raises over the last two years, even as state institutions
have seen budget cuts and tuition hikes.
An examination by The Dallas Morning News (http://dallasne.ws/VGcQ5n ) found
that top administrators got an overall salary increase of 4.2 percent from
fiscal year 2011 to fiscal year 2013. University system administrators received
a 9 percent increase.
During about the same time, tuition statewide went up 9 percent and state
lawmakers made deep cuts to funding.
Higher-education observers say most administrators are being paid in line
with their market value, and that some university presidents declined raises.
But supporters of smaller government question whether administrators are
overpaid.
