California State University Chancellor Charles B. Reed unveiled a new list comparing the salaries of CSU presidents to the salaries of presidents of other public universities with similar budgets, enrollment and graduation rates last Thursday… President Armiñana’s total base pay is $291,000, according to the Chancellor’s list. This is greater than both the average base pay listed for CSUs in the Lower Enrollment and Research group of $277,000, and the benchmark group average base pay of $268,000. Armiñana and other CSU presidents within the group were contacted for comment, but all declined… “The normal salary of a teacher here at Sonoma is between $60,000 to $70,000 a year, and President Armiñana is getting paid $300,000,” said Buot. “So from that perspective, I feel like the president is being overpaid, more than 100 percent difference between the faculty and the president’s pay.”
