State college presidents salaries kept secret in Vermont
Vermont State College Board seeks to keep presidents salaries confidential citing embarrassment from pay disparities with neighboring states. Attorney general says salaries should be public knowledge but board argues private details prevent gossip and jealousy while allowing performance based pay. Vermont figures show 9500 to 12500 minimums with fringe benefits and quarters.
