the daily illini 2015 salary guide

THE DAILY ILLINI

Thursday, November 5, 2015

The University’s budget includes $1.8 billion spent on employees’ sala-ries’ base pay.

And in the wake of a state budget crisis, transparency is more important than ever. As cost-saving measures are taken into account, it is important to examine the University’s operating budget.

Without a state budget approved, the University is continuing to operate on the basis of last year’s budget.

University spokesman Tom Hardy said the University is drawing against reserves and tuition income to contin-ue to operate in the absence of a state budget appropriation that totaled about $643 million.

The Daily Illini Salary Guide online search database makes it easy to see where the University is spending this part of the budget and how much money employees are being paid.

Our database includes salaries from the Academic Administrative Appoint-ments book, or Gray Book, which is approved annually by the Board of Trustees. The database also includes salaries from the non-Gray Book, which includes employees who are civil service staff and academic profession-al staff and additional faculty who do not appear in the Gray Book.

Employees will not be in the Gray Book if they are classified as civil service, alternate source of position funding or non-standard appointment calendars.

Data included in the non-Gray Book excludes employees or jobs that are classified as extra help, graduate assis-tant, pre-doctoral fellow, academic or grad hourly, summer appointment, medical resident, student, retiree or unpaid.

It also does not include jobs clas-

sified as cellphone stipend, deferred pay, lump sum, one-time pay, sabbatical supplement, temporary assignments or vacation payouts.

The salaries may be affected by events throughout the year, including mid-year promotions or unpaid leaves, and do not include all compensation, such as overtime and benefits. Factors such as experience, education and spe-cialized training can all influence how much employees are paid.

Anyone can find the information we’ve included in our Salary Guide. State employees’ salaries are public record that we obtained through the Illinois Freedom of Information Act. The Gray Book can be found at http://www.bot.uillinois.edu/gray-book.

By publishing these salaries, we want the University to be held accountable for this part of the budget. We hope this provides the University of Illinois com-munity with an easier way to see the

salaries of all University employees.This year, the print edition includes

information on how the top campus salaries have been impacted by shifts in leadership. Additionally, the guide looks at the costs behind two investi-gations into the athletics department and a look into the amount of athletic scholarships given.

Wise, Adesida to return as professor, researcher

BY ALI BRABOYSTAFF WRITER

Following the resignation of former Chan-cellor Phyllis Wise and former Provost Ilesan-mi Adesida, the two science-based administra-tors chose to return to the University faculty.

As a faculty member, Wise will earn a total of $298,926 per year as a professor of animal sciences in ACES and a professor of molecu-lar and cellular biology in LAS.

When the Carle-Illinois College of Medicine is complete, Wise will also serve as a professor of medical molecular integrative physics and as a professor of obstetrics and gynecology.

Adesida will earn $460,416 per year as a researcher for the University. Adesida will serve as a professor for the Coordinated Sci-ence Lab in Engineering, a Willett professor of electrical and computer engineering, a pro-

fessor in materials science and engineering and as a professor in the Micro and Nanotech-nology Lab in Engineering.

Bill Bell, executive director for market-ing and communications in Engineering, said Adesida will not teach courses next semester; instead, he will conduct research on campus and internationally.

It isn’t unusual for senior administrators to return to faculty positions and continue teach-ing, said Robin Kaler, campus spokeswoman. She said Wise and Adesida met with the deans and department heads to discuss which posi-tions would be of the “best use to helping the University fulfi ll its mission.”

She said their salaries were determined when the University originally hired them.

Memorial Stadium hasn’t had a capacity crowd since Nov. 12, 2011, against Michigan. But despite attendance levels at its largest facility, Illinois has consistently paid for the edu-cation of more than 100 student-athletes. The scholarships the University doles out to its football players have a ripple effect on fi nancial aid given to its remaining student-athletes.

The average student-athlete currently enrolled at Illinois receives $30,286 per year in scholarship dollars.

As of this school year, the average full-time student’s cost of attendance — including tuition, fees, room, board, books and other estimated expenses — at Illinois is $42,783. Out of Illinois’ 332 varsity athletes, 98 are set to receive full schol-arships this year. While not every student-athlete enjoys the

fruits of a full scholarship, many partial scholarships cover good chunks of today’s cost of education at a high-caliber Big Ten school.

Each sport’s head coach must abide by a specifi c budget provided by the NCAA for how many scholarships they may award. Head count sports are restricted in the number of athletes that can be on scholarship, while equivalency sports can have any number of athletes on scholarship but only a certain amount of scholarships to provide, which can be divided amongst numerous athletes.

Division-I football is a head count sport that allows 85 scholarships for 85 roster spots, which is why every Illini football player is on full scholarship. Baseball, an equiva-lency sport, awards no full scholarships, but divides its bud-get of 11.7 scholarships among 27 players, who each receive

partial scholarships. The scholarships are divided up at the head coach’s discretion — the same goes for all other equiv-alency sports.

Football’s 85 full scholarships account for $3,508,584 of the $5,929,745 in scholarship money given to men’s athletes. With such large athletic programs available exclusively to male athletes across the majority of D-I schools, scales need-ed to be tipped in the favor of women athletes. The answer was the NCAA’s implementation of Title IX in 1972, which prohibits gender discrimination in any federally funded education program or activity— including varsity sports.

To make up for the large disparity that football causes, certain men’s sports are given fewer dollars toward their equivalency budgets in comparison to their female counter-parts. For example, men’s tennis is given a total of 4.5 schol-

arships, while women’s tennis is allotted eight.Some men’s programs have had to be cut altogether. In

1993, the men’s swimming and diving team, along with fenc-ing, were cut at Illinois to make room for soccer in 1996 and softball in 2000.

“We want to provide the same number of opportunities to play, not just scholarships, for women,” associate director of athletics for compliance Ryan Squire said. “When you have such a huge sport like football on the men’s side, there need to be more women’s sports in order to balance that as far as the number of individuals, not just scholarship dollars.”

Today, there are 10 varsity women’s teams and nine men’s teams. As far as scholarship dollars, the average male ath-lete receives $30,100 and the average female athlete receives $30,556, so gender equality isn’t a question in that regard.

The University had dealt with its fair share of controversy by May of 2015. Steven Salai-ta was threatening to file a lawsuit against the University and James Kilgore’s job sta-tus was being hotly debated, but something else was on the horizon.

On May 10, former Illinois football player Simon Cvijanovic tweeted out accusations of player mistreatment and scholarship abuse by former head coach Tim Beckman. Not long after, Illinois women’s head coach Matt Bollant and former assistant Mike Divilbiss were accused of threatening to pull scholar-ships, attempting to create division in the team using racism and ignoring or minimiz-ing injuries.

Former Chancellor Phyllis Wise announced that the University would conduct indepen-dent investigations of both accusations of each respective coach. The University hired Franczek Radelet of Chicago to conduct the football investigation while Pugh, Jones and Johnson was hired to conduct the basketball allegations.

The interaction with Pugh, Jones and Johnson was not the first for the Universi-ty. On Jan. 21, 2005, the University reached an agreement for the firm to become the University’s legal counsel and was renewed on July 11, 2013. The University asked the

firm to investigate the women allegations on May 21, asking to “review the process-es and conclusions of an internal investiga-tion regarding the Division of Intercolle-giate Athletics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, including evidentiary review and information gathering additional reporting, drafting, and related advise and counsel.”

Divilbiss left the coaching staff before Pugh, Jones and Johnson released its find-ings on Aug. 3. The investigation, which con-sisted of 18,000 documents, 33 interviews, statements from eight players and reviews of game and practice video, showed there was no wrongdoing. It did recommend that the University clarify expectations for coaches’ conduct and define relationships between coaches and parents.

Contracts received through a Freedom of Information Act show that the Illinois DIA was charged $666,408.03 for 2,146.57 hours of work.

The interaction with Franczek Radelet and the University began on July 23, 2012. The University, “employs Counsel to act as attor-ney for University and to represent Universi-ty in connection with any matters which may be referred to Counsel by University.” The University asked the firm for an “investiga-tion of allegations raised by a former football player at the University of Illinois at Urbana-

Champaign and related issues” on May 13.The preliminary report Illinois Athlet-

ic Director Mike Thomas received forced him to fire Beckman on Aug. 28 for player mistreatment and threatening to take away scholarships. The invoices received through a FOIA were through Aug. 31. Those invoices showed that the DIA was charged $531,610.27

for 1,735.5 hours of work.The rest of the investigation is still being

conducted as the law firm looks into if oth-er coaches had been part of Beckman’s mistreatment.

The I FUND has changed its donation pro-gram deadlines, going from three renewal dates to just one a year.

In the past years, the Illinois athletics’ fundraising arm had deadlines in April, August and December which coincided with season ticket campaigns. This year, howev-er, the program is trying something new: using only one deadline in April.

The I FUND, or annual donations as the university calls them, is the University’s campaign to raise “financial resources which provide scholarship, academic and athletic opportunities for all student-ath-letes as they prepare to be leaders,” accord-ing to the website.

From July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015, Illi-nois athletics (DIA) collected $26,425,622 in total donations. This year from July 1 to October 12, the department has only col-lected $3,993,549.

Dividing the year into quarters, the DIA would be short around $2.5 million com-pared to last year if the donations stayed on the pace they’re on right now.

However, Illinois’ staff is not worried.“It’s hard to put a number on that until the

end of the year,” said Associate Director of Athletics Kent Brown. “Part of that is we’ve changed to once a year donation deadline so there’s a switch in procedures that will change the timing of a lot of donations.”

Brown said a true look at the numbers won’t come until May or June, or close to

the end of the fiscal year.The reason for the change? Brown said it’s

a simplified process and less confusing for donors. He added that many schools around the nation have just one renewal date also.

The athletic department has been sur-rounded by controversy this year with vari-ous lawsuits and investigations into certain teams. But Brown said that though some donors may be waiting to see how the situ-ations play out, there’s been no indication that that it has been a real issue with the annual fund.

“It’s really business as usual,” Brown said.

The University of Illinois is a system spread out over three campuses, and the top dogs at each school are making a good chunk of change. But when all three are put together, who is making the most? The head honchos at the Chicago campus’ medical school and athletic heads in Urbana take most of the top spots, while no one exclusive to the Springfield campus cracked the top 50.

Professors often receive money from several departments or have a higher salary due to administrative appointments, such as dean, head or director. The Daily Illini composed a list of the highest-paid professors per department, not including administrative raises or a salary from other departments, meaning the salaries earned as listed below may be lower than the professor's fi nal salary or the salaries of other top University or departmental administrators.

Professors from the College of Business-fi nance, accountancy and business administra-

tion earned the top three salaries per department, followed by a professor in electrical and computer engineering, a professor in law and LAS professors in entomology, biochemistry and chemistry. Of the top 20 earning professors, seven were from LAS, six from the Col-lege of Engineering and three were from the College of Business. While LAS professors constitute several of the highest-earning salaries, they also made up some of the lowest-earning departments, primarily comprising of social sciences positions teaching language, culture or race.

PETER BAILEY-WELLSSPORTS EDITOR

Walking around Champaign, the name Daniel Brown isn’t a well-known one.

That’s because everybody calls him “Dee.”

Dee Brown is two months into his appointment as a special assistant to the athletic director and nine years after fi nishing his playing career in Champaign. He makes a fraction of the money of Deron Williams, his backcourt mate dur-ing the magical 2004-2005 season Illinois basketball season.

Williams has had a much more successful NBA career than Brown, despite the immense amount of success and popularity the two had with the Illini.

Brown fi lled his current role in a temporary fashion during the sum-mer months, but has become a full-time employee since the beginning of September.

His career numbers with the

Illini are better than Williams’, who left early for the NBA Draft. But just because he didn’t have a lasting NBA career didn’t mean Brown was doomed fi nancially. The Illinois alum played abroad in Europe for several seasons before arriving in Champaign as a Uni-versity employee.

Brown, the winningest player in Illinois history, is set to make $200,000 this year — his contract is a one-year agreement with the University. Williams, in his ninth year in the NBA, is set to make $5,378,974 this season. Prior to this year, his contract with the Brook-lyn Nets was bought out for $27.5 million.
