“Highest-Paid Presidents Face Backlash, Study Finds”
“When defending compensation of $1-million and more for college presidents, trustees and university officials often repeat a simple refrain: Attracting the best talent costs money.
“In 2011 the 10 highest-paid private-college presidents cost their institutions an average of about $2.3-million each. Some trustees would say that's a bargain compared with the amount a high-caliber president can bring in through fund raising. But the actual cost to a university of having one of the highest-paid presidents in the country may be more than just salary and benefits, according to a new working paper.”
“Institutions whose presidents appear in The Chronicle's top-10 list of highest-paid private-college executives receive between $2.8-million and $4.5-million less in donations the following year than their peers whose presidents are outside the top 10, according to the paper.”

If you want my business

Image
I have had a couple of interesting experiences recently which has prompted me to throw a couple of pointers when dealing with potential new clients: PICK UP THE PHONE. More often than not, if you do not pick up, I am going to go to the next name on the list, and if I must leave a message, do not make me wait too long before I hear back from you. SARCASM IS NEVER APPRECIATED. I am calling because I am researching information about whether your business can help me or not, so do not assume I researched you at this point or even know where you are located. PLEASE KNOW WHAT YOUR COMPETITORS ARE CHARGING SO YOU CAN COMPETE. Also, do not try and leave me with open ended prices after I have given you specifics because that will immediately rule you out. BE POLITE! You are trying to earn my business, so at least talk to me like you are interested in hearing what I have to say, try to pronounce my name correctly (ask if you cannot); just act like you care. Seems funny that someone ...

The truth about “black on black crime’ by Dr Flavius Akerele III

Truth: ·          Most crime happens between people familiar with each other. So, FYI, the so called “black on black crime’ is bullshit. If black people committed more crimes outside of their segregated zone they would be extinct. We know this because it is near impossible to convict LE or anyone for killing black folks. ·          “White on white crime’ is almost as high as any crime ·          Skin color is not a race or culture ·          Most crime happens in poor neighborhoods ·          Most black neighborhoods are poor ·          The United States is still a segregated society. There are black, white, Asian, Latino, and, etc. neighborhoods, true fact. ·          The crime ra...

Follow‑Up Post on Ghosting

Image
  Last week I wrote about the rise of what many professionals are calling “professional ghosting” in hiring, multiple interviews, presentations, executive panels… followed by silence. The conversation that followed surfaced another issue that deserves attention.  How does this trend affect experienced professionals later in their careers?  Many seasoned leaders quietly acknowledge a dynamic that rarely gets discussed openly. Not necessarily overt discrimination, but a series of assumptions that can subtly shape hiring decisions: • Concerns about salary expectations or benefit costs • Assumptions about adaptability to new technologies or systems • The perception that a highly experienced hire might disrupt existing leadership dynamics • The belief that someone with decades of experience may not stay long None of these assumptions are typically stated directly, b ut they often exist in the background of search committee discussions. Ironically, these same professionals...
