I must be seeing things: The chancellor of the University System of Maryland earns a salary of $600,000 a year and was just awarded a $75,000 bonus and a $30,000 raise in a closed door meeting of the Board of Regents after a only a year on the job ("Following criticism, university system eliminates bonuses for chancellor," Aug. 25).
Really?
Chancellor Robert Caret reportedly also gets a car with a driver, a mansion in Pikesville and $53,000 in annual contributions to his retirement annuity insurance.
Does anyone besides me think this is excessive compensation, especially given that tuition just went up 2 percent?
