USF has big news coming?

[firm_bizzle]

But what if that new president somehow got us preeminent status, a law school (would have to steal one already existing in the state), and made UCF a great research university? I’m guessing a sports messageboard isn’t the best place to ask that

We don't want that crap.

I think Hitt showed that the university’s stature can be raised without sacrificing athletics.

But we’ve seen first hand what happens when it’s not a point of emphasis at both USF under Genshaft and Shalala at Miami. It’s hurt both programs.

How have they been hurt other than athletics? (Serious question)

I didn’t say that they were. Just their athletics.

I checked out his Twitter page to see if I could find out more. This guy is nuts! His basic complaint is that USF raised $20 million for their honors college, and he is complaining because Genshaft won't spend any of that money on the indoor practice facility. (Either that, or he is not very good at expressing what he is trying to say.) Wow!

Isn't Genshaft the one donating the money?

A public college president makes enough money to make a $20 million donation?!?!?

Yea , that's the conversation going on on social media. People are saying her family has that kind of money.

Correct. It has to be the family. I would guess a state college president makes $250-$400,000

Genshaft’s 2016-17 Compensation Among Nation's Highest

• 
  John Hitt (UCF), Judy Genshaft (USF) and Kent Fuchs (UF) are three of the top 10 highest paid public university presidents.
  THE CHRONICLE OF HIGHER EDUCATION

University of South Florida President Judy Genshaft's salary during the 2016-17 fiscal year placed her among the nation's top 10 highest paid presidents at public universities, based on data released from the Chronicle of Higher Education.

Genshaft's $1.2 million salary, which included a $500,000 one-time retention stipend, ranked seventh among 251 public university presidents.

Genshaft's base salary for 2016-17 was $493,500. She earned the retention stipend for completing a five-year contract. This year, Genshaft's base salary is $505,837 and she can recieve another $118,674 in deferred compensation and $300,000 in bonuses.

By Florida law, only $200,000 of Genshaft's compensation can come from state funds, said USF spokesman Adam Freeman.

USF's Board of Trustees Chairman Brian Lamb said Genshaft's salary is based on an evaluation of market research for univerity presidents and her past performance.

“The University of South Florida System is on an incredible upward trajectory, having recently set numerous institutional records in key areas of student success, research activity and fundraising," Lamb said. "None of these accomplishments would have been achieved without President Judy Genshaft and the leadership stability she has brought to USF since joining the university in 2000.”

The presidents of University of Central Florida and University of Florida were also among the top 10 highest paid in the 2016-17 fiscal year.

Retired UCF President John Hitt ranked sixth with $1.3 million and UF’s Kent Fuchs ranked ninth on the list with $1.1 million.

James R. Ramsey, the former president of the University of Louisville, was the highest paid with $4.2 million.

The numbers are broken down based on three categories: base pay, bonus pay and other pay.

Fuch’s had the highest base pay ($866,425); Hitt had the highest bonus pay ($655,475); and Genshaft had the highest other pay ($500,000 for the retention stipend).

The research also compares presidential pay to faculty salary and average tuition fees.

Was Louisville and Northern Illinois really getting a return on that investment? $4M and $1M respectively
