Boren calls for legal counsel to review protest policy President David Boren has directed OU legal counsel to review policies that may restrict free speech, according to a statement released Friday. This action comes after members of the Women’s and Gender Studies Student Association were denied the right to protest against Justice for All’s anti-abortion exhibit Wednesday and Thursday on the South Oval. The group was told they had not completed the correct paperwork for a protest. “Protests should be non-violent and should not disrupt classes or academic activities,” Boren David Boren said in the statement. Registered student organizations wanting to hold a peaceful protest must register with the Student Affairs office by filling out a “Facility Use Request” at least five days prior to the event, according to Title 6 of the Student Code. This is to accommodate competing demonstrations and prevent interference with educational activities, Boren said. Boren said he strongly supports freedom of speech and believes competitive ideas should be vigorously debated within a university. Once the review is complete, necessary policy revisions will be made. Justice For All’s anti-abortion exhibit was brought to campus by Pro-Life Ambassadors, an OU student organization.

Boren’s salary half national average for executives Salary survey of top research college executives reports median pay of $760,644; president makes $387,923 A recent survey by the The Chronicle of Higher Education determined that the average pay for top executives at large research universities in 2008 was $760,744, nearly twice David Boren’s pay as OU president. According to OU’s 2008 budget, Boren received $361,553. He currently makes $380,585, according to the 2011 university budget.

Average pay for top executives at undergraduate and graduate colleges was $352,257, while the median pay at liberal arts colleges was $387,923. More than one in five chief executives at the 448 institutions surveyed topped $600,000, according to the analysis. Thirty presidents received more than $1 million in pay and benefits in 2008, according to the analysis. As recently as 2004, no college president had broken the sevenfigure threshold.

Public college presidents generally earn less than their private counterparts. Only one public university president topped $1 million in 2008 — Ohio State University president Gordon Gee, who brought in $1.5 million. The Chronicle survey, which

covers the most recently available data, reported that several deals included deferred compensation or other unusual circumstances. Comparisons to past years aren’t possible because of changes in how data is reported to the Internal Revenue Service. Colleges were asked to report salaries by calendar year instead of by fiscal year as in the past, so most dollar amounts overlap with what was reported the previous year. Another change in this survey is that perks including first-class air travel, country club dues and

housing are now included in reported pay. “Value is in the eyes of the beholder,” said Jeffrey Selingo, editor of the Chronicle. “Some boards think these presidents, even at small institutions, are worth it. On the flip side, the prestige of serving at other institutions is enough of a paycheck for some.” Presidential salaries make up a very small percentage of campus budgets and have virtually no SEE SALARY PAGE 2
