…about UW’s large payouts to Administrators?
Western University has taken a lot of flak for trying to provide a large administrative payout to its president (which he has now promised to return). In contrast, the University of Waterloo executed large administrative payouts between 2009 and 2011 that have gone relatively unnoticed. The 2010, 2011and 2012Ontario Sunshine lists show that:
In 2009, the vice president, academic & provost was paid:
$737,000 from UW (at UW January – June)
+$220,000 from Western (July – December)
In 2010, the same person was paid:
$500,000 from UW (as “professor, adjunct”)
+$440,000 from Western
In 2010, the president & vice chancellor was paid:
$1,041,000 from UW (at UW January – October)
In 2011, the same person was paid:
$610,000 from UW (as president)
It is noteworthy that the presidency at UW changed in October 2010 and as such the incoming president was also paid $309,000 in 2010 (for 9 months service as provost and 3 months as president) and $486,000 in 2011 as president.
Confused? Consider the faculty/staff salary scale increases in the 2009-2011 period. They are much simpler:
|
Year
|
Faculty/Staff Scale Increase

|
2009
|
3%
|
|
2010
|
0%
|
|
2011
|
0%

Note that the UW Board of Governors Governance Committee is responsible for reviewing senior UW administrator contracts.
The Faculty Association would like to know:
Does the UW community wish to set parameters/limits/procedures that the Administration and Governance Committee must work within when negotiating and approving contracts? What should these be?

One small correction to the posting: the faculty scale increase in 2012 was 3%, not 0%.

Doug, I must be confused. I only see 2009-2011 numbers, not 2012.
