Gregory Fenves recently got a big promotion, fromprovost to president of the University of Texas atAustin. A raise came with it. Instead of his currentbase of about $425,000, he was offered $1 million.
格雷戈里·范韦斯(Gregory Fenves)最近晋升要职,从德州大学奥斯汀分校(University of Texas at Austin)教务长升任校长。此次升职是包含加薪的。他目前的基础薪俸约为42.5万美元(约合263万元人民币),校方开出100万美元。
And he rejected it — as too much.
但他拒绝了——理由是太高。
“With many issues and concerns about administrative costs, affordability and tuition, such asalary will affect the ability of the president to work with the Texas Legislature, Fenves wroteto a university official, in an email obtained by The Austin American-Statesman and publishedlast week.
“鉴于对行政支出、负担能力、学费等诸多问题的担忧与考量,这样的薪俸将影响校长与德州议会(TexasLegislature)的合作,范韦斯在一封致某大学官员的电子邮件中写道,该信由《奥斯汀美国政治家》(TheAustin American-Statesman)获得,并于上周刊发。
He suggested, and agreed to, $750,000.
最终他提议并接受了75万美元。
That’s hardly chump change. But in the context of the shockingly lucrative deals that havebecome almost commonplace among college presidents, the sum — or, more precisely, thesentiment behind it — is worthy of note and praise.
