New York Post: PROF’S RECORD 142G PAY HIKE
June 4, 2007 — THE State University has secretly granted the largest pay raise in public payroll history – an eye-popping $141,995-a-year – to a little-known, Ferrari-driving professor who is already the highest-paid official in New York, The Post has learned.
It was revealed earlier that Dr. Alain Kaloyeros, the head of SUNY’s state-of-the-art College of Nanoscale Science and Technology in Albany, was earning $525,000-a-year.
Then last week, SUNY officials – without any notice to the public – granted Kaloyeros, 51, the unprecedented raise, bringing his annual state salary to $666,995.
Gov. Spitzer, by contrast, is paid $179,000 a year.
