(WHTM) – Earlier this month, the Penn State University Board of Trustees approved contract revisions for the University’s President, Neeli Bendapudi. The revisions included a significant raise and were approved on a 34-1 vote.
The raise, which brings Bendapudi’s base salary up $450,000 annually and includes automatic pay bumps, comes as the university closes branch campuses, as well as the public broadcasters WPSU-TV and WPSU-FM.
Anthony Lubrano, the lone trustee to vote against Bendapudi’s pay raise, joined Dennis Owens on This Week in Pennsylvania to discuss the decision.
