UW Arms Its Opponents By Pleading Poverty
Posted December 17th, 2007 by James Rowen
The UW-Madison is looking for a new Chancellor, and some people mistakenly think that salary of nearly one-third of a million bucks a year, plus a house and a car, is not enough to find a new "CEO."
One key UW-Madison booster called the compensation package "an embarrassment."
No wonder fiscal conservatives find the UW an easy target.

Your position is indefensible, Jimmy. FYI the University of Michigan offered Lee Bollinger $700,000 to stay at Michigan when Columbia came calling. He went to Columbia for more. Both Minnesota and Iowa now pay nearly $500k to their top official. Wisconsin will need to pay a market rate in order to get the best candidate.
Yes, these other campuses also provide housing and autos to their CEOs. The fact that UW currently provides housing and a car is irrelevant.
