The amount of money paid in bonuses is shameful. I could understand if they were CEOs of corporations but aren't they all supposed to be educators.{Insert chuckle here} Obviously the amount of the bonus is tied in to how much you bring in and who you know. Personally I would be thrilled if the new President came in and started slashing salaries. Gene Smith making the amount of money he does is just a travesty. More than the new President. If that position were offered at $250,00 per year with no bonus there would be a list of highly qualified people submitting just so they could have it on their resume. In the end, what is it exactly that Gene Smith does? My wife worked at OSU for 26 years before passing away suddenly this January. Through the years she was saddled with added responsibilities with little adjustment in salary. I would say she worked harder in any given week than most of the people making 20 times her salary. But she was one of the little people. I wish the high and mighty would realize the university would grind to a halt without the hard work of so many who aren't making six figure bonuses.
