Welcome to

At a time when tuition is being raised and professors are being cut to help universities make ends met the board overseeing state colleges voted to pay its new chancellor nearly half a million dollars.

Florida’s University System’s Board of Governors will pay its new chancellor Frank Brogan 350,000 dollars a year plus benefits bringing his annual compensation to 450,000 dollars. Frank Brogan’s contract was approved by the board this morning. Brogan says he plans to make the state’s 11 public universities more uniform.

“All the universities need to have many of the same great things to offer so that whether you are in south Florida or north Florida you have access to those kind of degree offerings, but we also want each of them to be distinct. We want a notoriety for each of those universities as you see across the country,” said Brogan.

Brogan will be making 40,000 dollars more than the Board’s previous chancellor.
