Legislative Research Commission Program Review And Investigations

*We are aware that Western’s Carnegie Classification changed to Doctoral/Professional in 2018 but CUPA-HR had Western as a master’s university in its 2019 report, so we used that classification for medians. Also, Basic Pay is being used to compare against median salaries.

*The following positions had a salary at least 25 percent greater than the median for a master’s university. Do Western staff have any comments for why these positions would have higher than average pay for a master’s university?

• Chief Executive Officer (President Caboni)
• Chief Athletics Administrator (Director Intercollegiate Athletics Stewart)

*The following positions had a salary at least 25 percent less than the median for a master’s university. Do Western staff have any comments for why these positions would have a lower than average pay for a master’s university?

• Chief Audit Officer (Director Miller)
• Chief Business Officer (Executive VP, Strategy, Ops & Fin Howarth)
• Chief Development/Advancement Officer (VP Philanthropy/Alumni Eng Trabue; though this appears lower than Trabue's 2020 pay, so we suspect he started part way through the year)
• Chief Financial Officer (Chief Financial Officer Cummings)

*2015’s Chief Info Technology Officer (Johnson) appears to have left in that year. Did Johnson serve for a full year or did Johnson serve a partial year?

*2015’s Chief Student Affairs/Student Life Officer (Vice President Bailey) appears to have left that year. Did Baily serve for a full year or did Johnson serve a partial year?
