SUNY Potsdam President Dr. John Schwaller has won an $8,600 salary hike, three months after warning that salaries need to be trimmed, according to the Daily Courier Observer.
The raise given by SUNY officials in Albany takes Schwaller's salary to $193,600.
Schwaller's compensation also includes quarters at the President's home overlooking the campus, and a state vehicle, the paper reported.
Schwaller is one of five SUNY Presidents getting raises after their annual reviews.
Three months ago, Schwaller instituted a hiring freeze and warned that salaries need to be trimmed because of the state budget crisis, the Courier Observer said.
