It's Them, Not Me: Academic Pay at the U of I

In this day and age of rising costs for everything, especially college tuition, I found this article in the May 13th Chicago Tribune to be of interest. The incoming president at the University of Illinois, Michael Hogan says his priority will be addressing finances and costs.

His salary will be $620,000 next year, third highest at the school.

The others:
2nd Pier Cristoforo Giulianotti $650,000 Chief of the Department of General, Minimally Invasive and Robotic Surgery
4th Ronald Cuenther $600,000, Director of Intercollegiate athletics
5th Enrico Benedetti $526,250 Head of department of Surgery
6th Dimitri Azar $510,625 Head of Department of Ophathalmology (WHAT?) and Visual sciences
7th David Schwartz $504,000 Head of Department of Anestheioly
8th Sarah Kilpatrick $485,604 Head of department of Obstetrics and Gynecology

OTHER PROMINENT EMPLOYEES

Stanley Ikenberry $450,000 Interim President
Bruce Weber $405,000 Basketball Coach

Perhaps some of these salaries might be part of the problem Oh yes, I left off the number one salary, and that would be Football Coach Ron Zook at $1,052,500 which comes out to how much for each victory he had last year?
