Pennsylvania Presidents to Get Raises

The presidents of 13 of Pennsylvania’s 14 state-owned universities are getting pay raises, retroactively, for the 2008-09 fiscal year, the Associated Press reports. Maravene Loeschke, president of Mansfield University, got the most sizable salary increase of 11 percent, while most of the others were awarded raises of about 6 percent, the AP writes. A system spokesman told the AP that even with those raises, the presidents’ pay is still well below that of their counterparts at comparable state universities.
