Executive Pay at the University of Illinois

MANY HAVE EXPRESSED OUTRAGE at the $20 billion in bonuses
handed out to Wall Street executives, even as they were
receiving bailout assistance from the federal government.
As the “business model” has crept into the university, we
find the same excesses among top administrators at the
University of Illinois. In September 2008, when service
workers were told they were only getting a 1.5% pay raise,
administrators already making six-figure salaries received
8-9% increases, even up to 12% for the Athletics Director.
As President B. Joseph White has publicly commented,
“You can‘t pay too much for good administration.“
