SUMMARY: Two Mississippi public university presidents now earn nearly $1 million annually, while faculty and staff pay remains stagnant.

Despite these high salaries, average faculty pay has decreased due to inflation. The Institutions of Higher Learning (IHL) Board, which considers salary decisions confidential, aims to increase faculty and staff pay in the future.
