University Sustainability

In an environment of constrained revenues, the rate of change of one of these (say a change in average per-employee salary) will trigger a change in the other (the number of employees the university can afford to maintain). [...] Also not shown are the salaries of presidents of affiliated and federated institutions, for example, the University of Toronto’s Victoria College, the University of Ottawa’s St. [...] When post-term payments and the salaries paid to the presidents of affiliated and federated institutions are added to those of the principal presidents of the public institutions, total presidential compensation reported in the Sunshine List in 2016 was $12.6 million. [...] The decline we observed over the past five years is the result of a small number of reported year-over-year reductions in total salary paid, combined with modest rates of increase for the majority of presidents. [...] The distribution of employees in the 10% or more group roughly correlates to the distribution of employees into our five groups (for example, full-time faculty represent 68% of university employees in the Sunshine List and 79% of university employees in the 10% or more salary increase group).
