[Vision2020] Top 10 Public-Paid Salaries in Idaho

[Sue Hovey]

Anyone care to respond to my original question?  Could be Donovan is correct.  Remember the U S Supreme Court overturned one Idaho law which held when a child died without a will the father automatically became the executor of her/his estate.

Yo, Nick!

I remember back in my junior (or was it senior) year (1994/1995) that some faculty done went AWOL (out of the state, maybe even country) over their disagreement with Zinser.

Do you recall that?

  Hi Donovan,

  When Elizabeth Zinser was hired in 1989 she made more than any of the other Idaho university executives.  Their salaries were finally equalized only after the hiring of Nellis,and now each of them make 487 percent more than President Richard Gibb made in FY82.

  When I arrived at the University of Idaho in 1972, new assistant professors made $10,000 and President Ernest Hartung made $30,000.  When President Richard Gibb was hired in 1977, his salary had risen to four times that of entry level faculty. Faculty complaints became more vocal when President Elizabeth Zinser's 1993 salary was five times entry level salaries. Zinser promised that her "high tide" wage would float all faculty boats, but instead, except for a few good years, our boats have been completely swamped.

  Zinser went on to Kentucky and then, still with her Idaho state senator husband (now deceased), spent her last working years at the fairly small Southern Oregon University campus. I was in touch with her when I reviewed the philosophy department program there many years ago.

  Please note, Donovan, that I added "the seeds of trees" to my epigraph below, as you suggested.

  Sue,
   
  There is probably a law in Idaho making that illegal.
   
  How much did President Elisabeth Zinser make in comparison to other Presidents at the time?

  Wonder if there's a female CEO in Idaho who would make the list if all salaries were included?
