Salaries for two public university presidents creep toward $1 million a year
SUMMARY: Two Mississippi public university presidents now earn nearly $1 million annually, while faculty and staff pay remains stagnant. The high salaries come from state funds and substantial supplements from private university foundations. Ole Miss' Glenn Boyce and Mississippi State's Mark Keenum each earn $950,000, with retention bonuses potentially adding up to $1.4 million and $800,000, respectively, if they stay until their contracts end. 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.

SUMMARY: Another heat advisory kicks off the week in Columbus, Mississippi, with some relief expected soon. On Monday, anticipate a hot, humid afternoon with highs in the mid-90s and heat indices between 103 and 108 degrees, along with isolated pop-up showers and storms. Monday night may see additional showers, especially west of I-55. On Tuesday, remnants of Beryl could bring a broken line of showers and occasional storms, with highs in the low 90s. The rest of the week will experience relatively drier air, potentially the “coolest” day on Wednesday in the 80s, but temperatures will rise back to the mid-90s by the weekend.
