Board of Regents should have considered president's raise more carefully Imagine you work for a corporation whose board of directors voted to approve a 4 percent raise for all company employees. How would you feel if the board gave the CEO a 6.6 percent raise while you and most of your co-workers only got 4 percent? What kind of example would the board be setting for the average people who keep the company going? Imagine this happening while the board raises prices for your customers by 12 percent. That's what the Board of Regents did when it voted to give president Hanly Funderburk a 6.6 percent raise in the midst of an average 4 percent raise for the rest of the faculty and staff and an 11.9 tuition increase for students. And the topic of Funderburk's raise wasn't even brought up in the regular board meeting. It was handled in a committee meeting four hours before the full board met May 22. Granted, a few other faculty and staff members received raises larger than the 4 percent average, but the vast majority of employees didn't. For example, each of Eastern's vice presidents received a 4 percent raise except two. Of those two, one received 3.8 percent and the other 9.8 percent However, the 9.8 percent recipient, Russ Enzie, was also promoted to a higher paying position. The person Enzie replaced made approximately $10,000 more, so his raise and promotion actually saved the university money. Board chairman Jim Gilbert, who also chairs the committee that sets the president's salary, said Funderburk's raise was justified because he has been in his position longer than any other university president in the state. Funderburk received the largest raise of any public university president in Kentucky, according to figures from the Council on Higher Education, arid he is currently the third-highest paid Heat intensifies war between sexes president in the state behind UK's Charles Wethington and Louisville's Donald Swain.
