Graham Spanier, the Penn State president who was booted from his job after the revelations that one-time assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky had long molested young boys while the school administration looked the other way, is still collecting mucho buckos.
Jan Murphy of PennLive.com reports that Spanier, who lost his post on Nov. 9, 2011 immediately went on paid sabbatical leave where he indulged until Nov. 1, 2012 when he was put on paid administrative leave, and there he remains.
The school is unwilling to reveal how much this paid-for-nothing post is costing.
All it said was what was required by law namely that when Spanier went from president/tenured faculty member to just tenured faculty member he had a base salary of $685,985 and total compensation of $806,446.
In his last year as president, Spanier was the nation’s highest paid public school administrator getting $2,906,721 in total compensation.
Why don’t we just cut Spanier off entirely and give what he is getting to scholarships for the oft-ignored middle class suburban kids whose parents are now under the gun?
It should also be noted that Penn State gets about 10 percent of its $4.6 billion budget from state taxes.
It should even be further noted that Sandusky was not the only child molestation scandal during Spanier’s reign.
