Two Indiana college presidents will see their bottom lines improve this fall as their universities boost their annual salaries
by more than 10 percent.
The Herald-Times of Bloomington said Indiana University President Michael A. McRobbie will receive a 12-percent
pay increase for the 2011-2012 academic year. That will bring his salary to more than $533,000.
The Star Press in Muncie said Ball State University trustees have approved a 10-percent increase for President Jo
Ann Gora. The $39,204 pay hike will bring her base salary to about $431,000.
IU spokesman Mark Land says McRobbie's current pay rate puts him in the middle of the Big Ten.
Gora's raise is about four times the increase budgeted for other staff. Trustees President Hollis Hughes said her performance
in tough economic times warrants the raise.

If this type of greed continues, the people will speak out. The people will fight back. The people will take back their universities. The people will be heard.
I call for Mitch Daniels to step in and put a stop to this greed. Tell McRobbie and the Ball State president "No!" Not now! I don't care if McRobbie's salary only puts him into a mid-range bracket with other Big Ten Universities. I want a raise too, damnit!
