The Athens Messenger: Raise leaves union, faculty, students outraged

The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 1699 President Dave Logan said union members are incensed by OU President Roderick McDavis’ nearly $85,000 raise.

“Our union members are obviously outraged because we were told less than a year ago that they couldn’t afford to keep people that were making $9 an hour,” he said. “Then they come up with an $85,000 raise for the president. It demonstrates the Board of Trustees are way out of touch with what’s going on here at the university.”
