About This Blog

Dare to Dissemble is my little online ranting place, where I air my thoughts about the ridiculous state of affairs at the University of Alberta--a formerly strong public institution with tons of potential being driven into the ground by inept governance and irresponsible government funding policies. Comments are welcome, but not expected. Like most blogs on the internet, this one languishes in obscurity and is read for the most part by its proprietor.

Administrative Compensation

From the UofA's 2011 Financial Statement, I see that we have 5 senior administrators who receive in excess of half a million dollars in total compensation:

Indira Samarasekera (1,005.000)            
Carl Amrhein (647,000)
Lorne Babiuk (612,000)
Don Hickey (588,000)
Phyllis Clark (571,000)

You will be relieved to know that the two highest paid received overall increases of 7.4% and 8.2% relative to the previous year.  The VP(Research) got a mere 4.2% increase, while the last two going up by 6-7%.  Please bear this in mind when you are told to be grateful for the recently negotiated 1.75%/2% compensation package for AASUA members.
