I thought the $623k that he made in the past was more than reasonable; I just hope that the $1.2mil was a one time "Happy Retirement" increase, and will not carry on to the new President. Of course, if he can make RIT stand along with MIT, CalTech, et al.- then pay him as much as he wants :)</p>mattlaryMon, 20 Aug 2007 09:57:51 -0000http://www.mattlary.com/2007/08/20/so-thats-where-all-my-tuition-went/#comment-2353054<p>A salary is always based on the amount of revenue that particular individual brings in. With Simone, you have to realize that while he was here what he did for the university added a lot of revenue. It's just like a CEO, we all get upset about the fact the CEO makes 650x the average salary of their workers, but really from the business's standpoint, that CEO adds at <em>least</em> that much revenue.</p>Randy AMon, 20 Aug 2007 09:25:48 -0000
