Mr. Right: Administrators' salaries reflect misplaced priorities
Apr. 17, 2008If you read The Post on Monday, you may have noticed that Ohio University President Roderick McDavis made $294,665 this year. Among the university's other top earners were football coach Frank Solich, earning $257,162, and Executive Vice President and Provost Kathy Krendl, who made $245,116.

Unfortunately, this is the reality of the situation, and it once again demonstrates that Ohio University administrators' budget priorities aren't in sync with the rest of the OU community's priorities.
