Highest Paid Public Employee for Each State

This revenue rarely makes its way back to the general funds of these universities. Looking at data from 2011-2012, athletic departments at 99 major schools lost an average of $5 million once you take out revenue generated from "student fees" and "university subsidies." If you take out "contributions and donations"—some of which might have gone to the universities had they not been lavished on the athletic departments—this drops to an average loss of $17 million, with just one school (Army) in the black. All this football/basketball revenue is sucked up by coach and AD salaries, by administrative and facility costs, and by the athletic department's non-revenue generating sports; it's not like it's going to microscopes and Bunsen burners.

But this is what really bothers me.

A few years ago I came across something that said the highest paid employee of Cornell was a fertility specialist at the med school who was pulling in over $3 million a year.

In Italy, Silvio Berlusconi

Nice to see in NYS and Massachusetts it's the med school dean. (Anybody wanted to guess it's a Port Authority cop with overtime?) In NJ, the basketball coach of, what, Rutgers? Either that's the now-dismissed Mike Rice if you include his walkaway pay, or more likely the incoming hoops coach, [www.courierpostonline.com]-

Paid by THE SCHOOL? Or by private clients or subsidized by research grants? I can see how a fertility specialist can generate a lot of outside income.

I think this is the article I read years ago: [www.nytimes.com]

It says the names of the highest paid employees comes from IRS filings which would make me think his paycheck comes from the school which in turn makes me think his patients pay the hospital/school. I assume his practice is not a separate entity. What I don't know is if the medical school and the hospital are considered separate entities, especially since Cornell and Columbia are separate schools sharing one hospital system.

I don't know if this came up already but as expected it's usually basketball or football coaches with a few college presidents or medical school deans thrown in. Except - New Hampshire where it's the hockey coach. Comments mention "No Hardware".
