is Delaware 35% better this year than last year?
It should be. The President of the U of D got a 35% raise this year. He was scraping by on a measly $724,600 last year. He now makes $979,500.

Just disgusting. This is what is wrong with education in Delaware. A corporate gimme gimme gimme mentality amongst those who are supposed to be educators above all but are really just overpaid teet-suckers riding the backs of students, their families, and taxpayers.

WDEL reports
UD Pres. is highest paid public college president
According to a study being released today, David Roselle of the University of Delaware is the nation’s highest-paid public university president.
He is getting almost 980-thousand dollars in pay and benefits this year. The median pay is about 375-thousand dollars.
Private school presidents continue to be higher paid. Audrey Doberstein, retired president of Wilmington College, topped the list with a compensation package totaling two-point-seven million dollars last year. But much of it represented one-time
payments upon her retirement.
The figures were in an annual report being published today in The Chronicle of Higher Education.
sick sick on our tax dollars too.

A corporate gimme gimme gimme mentality
OK, I agree with you…
But I also accept the conservative critique that any heavily subsidized service will become grossly overpriced. Unless of course the price becomes regulated.
Very few people pay full price for college; the rest is grants and loans from various sources. It’s all Monopoly money.
If people had to pay hard cash for college it would be a lot cheaper.

Um, yeah. This is as anti-corporate as you can get, more like the ultimate in education bureacracy teat-sucking. In elementary scools all over America, vice principals are dreaming about this kind of sweetheart deal; “Someday, if I just punch enough tickets and kiss enough ass and cut enough actual educators from the payroll I can be that guy!” This crap from UD makes Joe Wise look miserly by comparison, but it’s what’s wrong with education at all levels.

Corporate management mentality at its worst (i.e. make undue riches from lavish self-dealing on the backs of shareholders and labor) is an unfortunate reality of business enterprise and free markets.
But this kind of corporate management mentality in public institutions of higher learning is bordlerline criminal, or should be. It is a despicable abuse of everyone who pays into the coffers.
Roselle should be ashamed of himself for costing every one of the approx 21000 UD students $45 each per year to pay for what? His brilliance? Leadership? Public service ethic? Educational midas touch?
My ass.

” $45 each per year to pay for what? His brilliance? ”
Rosie Roselle is a premiere fund raiser. His reward is this last year’s 35% bump…perhaps even a sort of severence?? Rosie has had a few mis steps ove the past year leading up to his retirement.
During his 15 year tenure, Roselle raised the endowment from a quarter billion to a billion and (close to) a quarter.
That is all money that the duPont family members and the downstate farming families who control the board get to invest as they see fit.
This endowment is likely controlled by the Wilmington Trust co.
When I was a college student I protested UD board meetings with the anti-apartheid movement to ask them to divest from South African companies and realized where the control of the UD’s fortunes lay.

Hey Nance — are you involved in the Israel divestiture movement now?
At any rate, this is another reason for me to hang up on UD solicitations for donations.

are you involved in the Israel divestiture movement now?
Nope.
I have heard mutterings but I did not know there was a grassroots movement to financially tackle the problem.
