Boston Herald: State’s higher ed $alaries sky-high
As Gov. Deval Patrick makes free community colleges the cornerstone of his education strategy, he’ll be wading into a system laden with six-figure salaries, sky-high administrative costs and perk jobs for cops, pols and judges.
The state’s 15 community colleges have an overall payroll of roughly $315 million, including 126 employees who made more than $100,000 in 2006, including every school president, a Herald review of payroll records found.
Presidents’ pay ranged from $140,400 for Berkshire Community College President Paul Raverta to $207,166 for Holyoke Community College President William Messner.
