As UVM administrators plead poverty in advance of faculty negotiations, the compensation awarded to these same administrators continues to skyrocket. From 2001-2007, UVM’s spending on executive pay rose 152% (i.e. to 252% of its 2001 level). Since then, a new President, Provost, and several Deans have been hired at salaries between 30% and 43% higher than their immediate predecessors’, while several ex-administrators continue to draw extraordinarily high salaries, far more than their teaching colleagues. Just these administrative salary increases, which far outpace any growth in UVM’s student population or overall budget, would be enough to pay for many of the recently threatened cuts in instruction and staffing.
