Utah Board Rescinds Recent Raises for Public-College Presidents

Less than two weeks ago, most of Utah’s public-college presidents were announcing plans to give all or a portion of their recent raises back to their institutions, for scholarships or academic programs. But it turns out that they aren’t getting those raises after all, The Salt Lake Tribune reports. Last week, Gov. Gary Herbert asked the State Board of Regents to rescind the raises, pending a comprehensive survey of presidential salaries. At a special meeting today, the board did so.
