4 UW chancellors in line for raises
MADISON, Wis. (AP) Four University of Wisconsin chancellors are slated to receive pay raises of between 3.5 percent and nearly 5 percent.
The Board of Regents will consider the raises at its meeting next week.
Milwaukee chancellor Carlos Santiago would see a 4.99 percent raise under the proposal. His salary would go from just over $280,000 to slightly more than $314,000.
UW Colleges and UW Extension chancellor David Wilson would also get a 4.99 percent increase. His salary would go from nearly $201,000 to nearly $211,000.
Stevens Point chancellor Linda Bunnell's salary would increase 3.76 percent from about $199,000 to $207,000.
And Eau Claire chancellor Brian Levin-Stankevich is in line for a 3.54 percent increase. His salary would go from nearly $200,000 to nearly $205,000.

These are people who could get CEO jobs in business and be eligible for stock options and other bennies that are not available in universities. They are paid competitively with that and with other universities, not comparatively with some other random job. And the majority of their salary is paid by tuition, not taxes.

What if.....just maybe....every working American (including the fat cats), settled on a wage freeze for a year, maybe longer. What would that do to the economy.
I seriously doubt my employer will extend pay increases this year and know that many more employers are in the same situation. I'm just thankful to have a job and would be content to live within my current wage structure for the sake of the economy - expecially if I knew I wasn't the only one!

I think their math is off a bit. $280,000x.0499=$13,972, then add that to the original salary, $13,972+280,000=$293,972. It's still a substantial raise, but a far cry from $314,000.
Everything else seems to be accurate however.
