My guess is at some point in time the administration, with approval of the board of trustees, adopted a new model of compensation for senior leadership that is akin to the annual performance bonus model on Wall Street. And I would bet the level of compensation under this model has led to a significant increase in the level of compensation for those positions. It is all public record. The Lantern should obtain historical compensation (salary, bonus, deferred compensation and fringes)for certain key positions and plot it over time--starting maybe 15 years back and carrying it forward to the present day.

And then determine if other Big 10 universities pay similar amounts and use the same or different compensation models.

Do not be dissuaded by bromides like you have to pay good money to get good people.
