All 23 campus presidents including Sacramento State President Alexander Gonzalez will receive raises, as will CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed and four other executives.
The raises come at a time when CSU compensation practices are being audited by the state, according to the press release.
Vice President of Public Affairs Frank Whitlatch said the increases were part of a long-term plan to address salary lags for all CSU employees.
"There will always be people who complain when an executive or president gets a pay raise," Whitlatch said. "The board has done what it feels is right."
Whitlatch said that, on average, most presidents were given raises of about 11.8 percent. He said that with the increase Gonzalez's pay will go from $265,225 a year to $295,000.
"To put it into perspective, the new Dominguez Hills president was hired in at $295,000...more than many sitting presidents," Whitlatch said.
Gonzalez was unavailable for comment.

...And the corruption of California's public universities and decline of the student continues.
I weep for the future.

Odds are that nobody in the private sectors are getting raises. The cost of everything is going up for everyone. Transportation and food costs are through the roof. (Continued…)
