Last year the College spent over $34.5 million on its 439 administrative staff, up from $29.5 million on 414 administrative staff just two years prior.
The average administrator's salary in 2008-2009 was approximately $79,000, an increase of $8000 from 2006-2007 levels.
The College's highest-paid administrator was President Reveley, who earned $332,100 in 2008-2009. Mr. Reveley's salary has not increased since he left his position as Dean of the Law School to serve as interim president of the College in Spring 2008. By comparison, President Nichol earned $339,172 during 2006-2007.
Those earning over $250,000 included Provost Feiss ($296,100) and Lawrence Pulley ($280,275), the Dean of the Mason School of Business. Vice President for Development Sean Pieri earned $249,600, while the Interim Dean of the Marshall-Wythe School of Law Lynda Butler made $240,000.
Vice Provost Dennis Manos ($218,400), Dean of the School of Education Virginia McLaughlin ($200,600), Dean of Arts and Sciences Carl Strikwerda ($200,600), and Director of VIMS John Wells ($200,600) all broke the $200,000 mark, with Vice President for Administration Anna Martin falling short, at $196,800.
The highest-paid member of the athletics department was not head football coach Jimmye Laycock, who saw his pay increase 2% over two years to $179,400, but Men's Basketball Head Coach Tony Shaver, who received a $63,000 pay increase, putting his compensation at $180,000.
Vice President for Student Affairs Virginia Ambler also received a significant rise in compensation due to her recent promotion, as her pay increased by $42,000 to $120,000 over two years. This remains significantly lower than former VPSA Samuel Sadler's 2006-2007 salary of $205,000.
James Golden, the Vice President for Strategic Initiatives, earned a $35,900 increase, with his pay now $187,800. Chief Investment Officer Frank Hiestand was also paid $30,000 more for his services in 2008-2009 than in 2006-2007, bringing his pay to $180,000. Vice President for Finance Sam Jones also received a raise of $20,000, bringing his compensation to $193,000.
